Hi Padaxus,
A little more info would be helpful. Right now, my off the hat guesses would be 1) PS, 2) overheat, 3) memory. TwoRails |

what kind of power supply do you have? (brand & wattage)... do you know what kind of temps you're running inside your case? If you can post that info, there are some great people around here who can offer some ideas....
Good luck and be careful |

Welcome to PC Mech, Padaxus!
Would you mind fleshing out the specs list? Sometimes the extra info can help one of the experts here (not me  ) pinpoint a trouble spot.

It doesnt sound like an OS or even a software lockup; check your system logs for verficiation of the theory .. sounds like a h/w issue .. since there are no BSODs the first thing I would do is check for heat; do you have any mobo monitors installed. even if you dont, you could drop down to your bios after ur comp has been running for a good little while and check the system temps.
