Cant fingure out random freezing!

[Nicfish]

My old set up use to crash randomly, but i did not really bother to sort it as i thought it was hardware issue and planned to upgrade since. However, since upgrading it will still freeze and i cant find ne regularity in the freezing. Its seems to do it in a slightly different way than b4 but i think i still think its the same. My new spec is

Intel C2D E2180 @ 3.0ghz
4gb of Geil 800MHz Ultra Low Latency
Ati HD 3850 512mb
Hiper Type M PSU

I thought it was to do with my CPU overclock being unstable but it will do it even at stock speeds. Im starting to think it could be software issues.

Any one shed some light?

Graphics crashing on mine too

Hi, I'm having a similar problem, the screen goes blank for a few secs then restores with a message the graphics driver failed and recovered, have also crashed the PC with BSOD on a couple of occasions. This happens randomly and not necessarily when under load.

All drivers are up to date. Just a thought - would having 3GB RAM cause problems? Would I get fewer conflicts with 2GB in dual channel? I had 4GB but had to take one stick out because XP was crashing on boot after being in Vista and that fixed it.

My Spec:
Abit IP35 Pro
Q6600/Tuniq Tower 120
3x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500C5
Asus ATI Radion HD 3850 Pro 256MB
Corsair HX620w
Vista 64 Ultimate/XP Pro SP2 dual boot

If anyone can offer ideas to diagnose this I would be grateful.
