So my problem is when i turn my computer on for the first time each day it seems to crash 4/5 times before it windows even has a chance to start up. I'm also having a problem with the fact that during regular use it will just crash/freeze (sometimes restarting itself sometime i need to do it manually) It used to do the crashing whilst it was on part frequently a while back but stopped for a long period of time when i got my new PSU and GPU but its back now.
So if anyone could try help me fix this problem it would be much appreciated :)

My Specs:

CPU: Intel i7 3930k (was overclocked using preset setting in my BIOS to 4.4ghz)
Cooler: Corsair H100 Water cooler
Mobo: ASRock x79 Extreme 9
RAM: 3x 4Gb 1600ghz Corsair Vengeance (One of the other sticks in the set broke so i removed it)
Sound Card: ASRock Sound Blaster (Came with Mobo)
GPU: Inno3D 660ti 3gb edition
PSU: Corsair Proffesional Series HX1050
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar (Might be wrong here though)

And if it makes any difference if its a cooling issue its in an NZXT Phantom.

Anyhelp would be lovely,

Xafeara

Edit: I'm running windows 7 64bit

I'm having a similar issue and I suspect a Hard disk problem. Someone suggested to me to use the HDD manufacturer's HDD diagnostic tool. Perhaps that can help.
