I build a new computer with the following components:
-Intel Core i7-3820
-AS Rock LGA2011 Intel X79 EXTREME6
-2X8GB CORSAIR Vengeance DDR3 1600
-Thermaltake TR2 TR-700 700W PSU
-SAPPHIRE 100293L Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 (old I know but waiting on more $$$)
-CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler

Problem
The system will run fine from a few hours to even days long but then completely freeze up. Mouse wont move, keys don't respond and whatever was on the screen at the time is shown frozen.

Occurrences
-It froze up during a normal quality movie when it was on pause for a few hours on full screen.
-It froze when playing Borderlands 2 more than once.
-It froze when using ConvertXtoDVD after I set a job and left for class, shown the completed burn screen frozen, DVD was fine but must have froze sometime after it finished.

Temps always stay below 100F during normal use, during a game <110F. I checked the event log but it only showed a generic error message with nothing specific. It shows another error some time after for "system unexpectedly shutdown". Not sure if this is from me using the power button to reboot or something else.

See anything that jumps out or suggestions of software to use to find the issue?

Many thanks!

The OS is Windows 7 64 bit. I've been in the process of moving so I haven't had time to test the other solutions until now. BUT I now have bigger problems. I've been moving so my computer has been shaken up a bit more than usual but I went to power it up today and I have no video output at all. The fans spin, the heats sink is glowing red (which is how I had it set up, by default its white) but still no video. The tv I have it connected to displays a "video 7" when nothing is pushing video to it, when my computer powers up that goes away but nothing's on the screen. I put a windows 7 disk in the DVD drive and still nothing. I also made sure nothing rattled loose in the move, all wires are pushed in. Dr Debug displays an "A2". Not feeling good about this one....
