Hi Rob, heres a procedure is follow if I meet such a scenario. Download prime95, LinX, coretemp, gpu z and ati tool. All are monitoring applications. First of all, run coretemp and note the cpu temp at idle, keep it open and in view at all times now run prime95, run the blend test for 12 hours to see if the computer stalls. If it does, note the temp that the cpu was at when it crashed. If it doesn't continue to run LinX next. Open LinX, select all memory and set to run the test 20 times, again keep monitoring the temp and log if it freezes. * +

Next up, open gpu-z which will show you the gpu temperature. Run ati tool and check for artifacts (yellow marks, lines, abnormalities), keep gpu-z open, monitor the gpu temperature, if the pc freezes, again write down the temperature it froze on. If you see yellow artifacts, stop ati tool and report here. * +

Also we need to know your cpu, what speed it is set at, same for your graphics card. Also are you overclocking? What power supply have you got? I.e corsair 600w. And how long has your pc been doing this, was there any changes to hardware, new programs installed, or drivers updated? All this information is important, it only helps people build a picture of what may be happening. * +
