Okay Guys heres the deal:

I have a Gaming PC from a certain Irish Group:

Intel Q8300 @ 2.5ghz
4gb DDR2
Nvidia GTS 240
Windows 7 Ultimate (Fully Updated) along with all my Drivers.
The only alteration i've made to the system is a Wifi card which I fitted.

I'm experiencing intermittant freezes where it completley locks up (No movement of mouse etc etc) and no BSOD, I go back into the Event Viewer and it's only recording an Error in the Unexpected shutdown..

It seems to happen when i'm running EVE Online (Which has it's own logging software which i'm gonna run every time I start now.. but is there anything else I can look for that will explain these bizzare lock-ups?

So it was crashing before you put wifi card in?

Yup.

It isn't happening at any specific time either.. for instance today i've been running EVE for at least 6 or so hours but it also happens when I first start the PC (Within an hour or so) and then go days without a problem..

So is there a possibility it could be a Tempreture related problem?

GPU is at 52oC atm (Will need to check rest)

The PC is less than 3 months old.. so I havn't dusted it yet. Will run Memtest.
 
Memtest86 came up Negative.. running Prime now, but i'm pretty sure i've ran a test similar to this and came out neg.
 
Holly Thread recovery batman.

The problem has started getting more frequent now, i'm running the Irish own Diagnostic program. It cropped up again playing BF2/STO

It's thrown up various errors on the HDD telling me it's pretty much toast and needs replacing.. now I have a hardware warranty with them still.. is this likley to be the cause of the hangs?
