What does a watchdog.sys blue-screen of death mean?

My brother was watching a Flash video on Firefox when it suddenly happened and the computer rebooted.

EDIT: watchdog.sys is a Windows component so it could have been one of your Windows updates that caused the problem, try system restore and update one at a time.

Update or re-install your video driver.

Update or re-install your video codecs(CCCP, Sharky's, or whatever ones you use).

Edit:

Update or Re-install your Flash Player, too.

Update or Install both, one for IE and one for other browsers(if you use any).
