I have a real problem that's driving me nuts. 
Current system is randomly hanging/freezing about once a day. First apps stop responding, no keyboard input is accepted (ie alt-tab or ctrl+alt+del or any keypress) but the mouse cursor can still move around for a few seconds then it too stops. The other thing is, that sometimes I get a 124 general hardware bsod. I've replaced the PSU, the graphics card, the hdd, memory. I've ran memtest with the current memory. I'm not even overclocking (not that it makes any difference) but I do have performance memory running at standard 1300 instead of its rated 2000 (whichever again makes no difference). I've reinstalled, re-re-installed. Changed everything about this computer except the motherboard and CPU. Still happens.
Am I right to suggest the motherboard is faulty?
Dump file and stuff here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47522902/error_log.zip if anyone wants a look.
Fresh install of windows 7 pro with current hardware. All drivers / bios's everythings running latest versions, etc. System and CPU temps fine.
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD5
Intel i7 860 @2.84GHz (stock) with Gelid Tranquilo cooler
g.skill ripjaws 4gb 2000 @ 1300 or 2000
Asus DirectCUII 6950 2gb
Corsair AX850 850W PSU
all housed in an Antec 900
Really bored of this. Been happening for months.
Help appreciated.
PS - All of the replaced bits n bobs are now in another case (bought a new budget i3+mobo to make use of the spares) and working fine with same operating system. Practically identical systems except for motherboard and CPU.
