Bugcheck, what does this error mean?

I'm looking at you Gorman, you seem to know every Windows system log error :p
Started comp today, logged in but it then restarted again, when checking logs, it says something about a bugcheck? Any ideas what a 'bugcheck' is? Apart from the obvious checking for a bug?

EDIT: I get it, the bugcheck was that window stating that windows had encountered an error blah blah.

The actual critical error was: Kernel-Power.

Having read up a little more on my error code 41 (63) someone managed to solve it through disabling some audio drivers. They had 2 ATI and one Realtek.

My dev manager shows 4 Nvidia (!) surely one is enough for the GPU? haha and one Realtek.

Those errors can relate to many things, unfortuently Windows error logging has never been too good in my opinion with defining reasons for crashes save for it being a BSOD.

* The Stop error BugcheckCode value is listed as zero. Circumstances can prevent writing the Stop error BugcheckCode information before the computer restarts or shuts down. In this case, a BugcheckCode value of zero is logged. Also, perhaps no Stop error occurred, and the shutdown resulted from a power loss. For example, on a portable computer, this could mean that the battery is removed or completely drained. Or, on a desktop computer, this could mean that the computer was unplugged, or a power outage occurred.
* The PowerButtonTimestamp is listed as zero. Circumstances can prevent writing the PowerButtonTimestamp information before the computer restarts or shuts down. In this case, a value of zero is logged. This can occur if the power button is pressed and held for at least four seconds when Windows has an operation running that prevents writing the event to disk. You could also see this scenario if the computer was “Hard-locked” and therefore unresponsive to any input, and the computer had to be powered off. To determine whether the computer is unresponsive, you might try to press the CAPS LOCK key to toggle the CAPS light on the keyboard.

This is what the windows knowledge base has to say :) Ive pushed my power lead firmly in to make sure it wasnt quite making the connection to the PSU :) As in "details" im getting both of the above as 0.

Ye, every value is 0 on my error log though, likely a power outage, I made sure the power cable is really firmly in, will see if it ever reoccurs.
