hi all, just after some advice really. Over the past 3 days my comp has crashed 3 times, i dont know if it has anything to do with it, but i have been folding with both my gpu and cpu each time this has happened, the first time it happened my pc just froze, and i couldnt do anything, had to press reset button, the second time it froze again but could still move the mouse cursor had to press rest button again, and just now its just reset itself randomly??? there are no error reports or anything, im confused.

My rig is, i7920 @stock, asus p6t, 6gb corsair xms3, gtx 260 also@stock.

So it has never happened before other than when you are folding with GPU & CPU?

to be fair when im not gaming im folding, so no. i might not fold for a few days see if that helps. i can game for hours and its fine.

do you get any info from windows event viewer?

nothing thats any use, but i dont really know my way around the event viewer but it does say that there was an unexpected shutdown at 17:06, i tried looking for something that coincided with that time but couldnt find anything.
 
What power is your PSU?

It's a long shot but because both your GPU & CPU are maxed out whilst folding you might be having power issues?
