Hi everyone! so my 6 month old system has suddenly started giving me these issues. I'm getting random freezes of about a second long and every once in a while, it stays frozed and leads to a crash. I tried a clean OSX install on a spare drive and the problems persist, but a lot less frequent. Heres my specs:

Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3
I7 950 1366 (bloomfield i think?)
12 gigs (3x4 G.Skill DDR3-1333)
EVGA GTX 460 se 1024mb
Corsair TX750w power supply
3x seagate barracuda 500g
1x seagate barracuda 320g

Im currently at OSX 10.6.8, new nvidia drivers
This is primarily a pro audio machine Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, and i do some video editing Premiere/Avid

Where should i begin troubleshooting?

Can someone give me some guidance please? Ive been at this for a few days with no results yet. I discovered my rear case exhaust fan was bad, through a new one in along with a new cpu cooler in case this was a overheating issue, ive never overclocked though. I did a clean install of Windows 7 32 bit, took out all my OSX and storage drives, and im still getting the cursor freeze, although it hasnt led to a crash in windows yet. Running a stress test on the gtx 460 right now. please help!!
