Microsoft is unable to determine the exact cause of this error.
However, this problem was most likely caused by an error in your
computer's random access memory (RAM). RAM is the main internal
storage area the computer uses to run programs and store data.
Why don't you check your RAM. "Windows Memory Diagnostic"

Note, however, that a hardware test only gives you 100% security rather
than any test software.
During the crash analysis, we noticed the basic input/output (BIOS)
system version on this computer does not match the specifications for
the central processing unit (CPU), also known as a processor, that is
installed on your computer. This can occur when a newer processor is
installed on an older system board or older BIOS. Using a BIOS that
does not support the installed processor can result in Windows system
crashes.
===========================================
Any idea what could be going wrong?
Please note that this problem has crept up only after I started using
the BT USB dongle.
This doesn't matter. Due to the crash you've sent your system information
to Microsoft and according to their database, there is a BIOS mismatch.
Neither I have made any changes in the BIOS manually
Well, the manufacturer may have failed to update the BIOS prior to the
delivery. I have performed several BIOS updates and one of them stopped
after 75% of completion. That system was hanging at the BIOS logo screen
after reboot, no way to enter even the BIOS setup. Therefore, updating
the BIOS is *not* a walk in the park. Run the memory test first.
