Didn't know where to put this thread so i put it here, if it has to be moved so be it. My rig is less than a week old and I sometimes, at random times get unexpected system lock-ups, crashes then system reboots. My most recent was a BSOD when I was running Winamp playing music, Zombie Panic Source game through Steam client and Firefox playing a 2min video.
My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Motherboard: Asus P7P55D Evo
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.8GHz
RAM: OCZ Platinum Edition 4GB (2x2GB) Dual-Channel DDR3-1333MHz
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 7200rpm 640GB (boot-drive), Western Digital Caviar Blue 7200rpm 640GB (secondary)
GPU: Point of View GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3
Sound card: Creative SB X-Fi XtremeAudio 7.1channel
DVD Drives: LG SuperMulti DVD-RW SATA (primary), LG DVD-RW IDE drive (secondary)
PSU: OCZ ModXstream 700W
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212Plus
Note that I haven't overclocked, haven't played with tweaks or volts or anything. Everything is in stock settings. I ensure that i dont stress my PC very much (I'd run a maximum of 2 programs plus a Valve game, sometimes the game alone). From the event logs it shows that it's EventLog 6008, here are the details:
and another would be the BugCheck Event 1001, details as follows:
Just downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card (which was released only 8 days after the one i currently have). I'll be back with more news to see if any improvement. In the meantime I really appreciate the help as to what the source of the problem is and how to tackle it. Many many thanks.
***EDIT: An update, found also ANOTHER event log in addition to the previous two i mentioned which caused my system to shutdown, this one is a Event41, Kernel-Power issue. Details as follows:
Again, the issue happens when I'm running games like Counter Strike Source, Zombie Panic Source and Left 4 Dead 2 via the Steam client whilst playing music from Winamp and running Firefox with 1 or 2 tabs open. Thanks for the help.

Again, the issue happens when I'm running games like Counter Strike Source, Zombie Panic Source and Left 4 Dead 2 via the Steam client whilst playing music from Winamp and running Firefox with 1 or 2 tabs open. Thanks for the help.
