Seemingly Random Crashes

I've started to get computer crashes the last few weeks and for the life of me I have no idea why. It started when I would listen to music, the high-pitched blare of the audio would change and then silence and computer crash, hard restart would be needed. So I assumed it was just my sound drivers. I promptly uninstalled them and reinstalled the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers my motherboard uses. I checked to see if my memory was corrupt, by placing both of them individually, then in non-dual channel, then memtesting them each indivdually, all to no avail (no errors on the memtest). Now I can only assume two things. Either my GPU is going bad, or I have a registry problem, I just don't know how to go about it. Anyone care to help me pinpoint what exactly is wrong?

If I would list all the things that I've tried, tomshardware would crash....

(my PC it's about 1-2 months old)

From all the things that were giving me the impression that I got it fixed, they were software related (most time without crashing).

AMD Phenom X6 1100 CPU

Gigabyte GA-970-UD3

DDR3 Corsair Vengeance (8GB)

I actually started to uninstall programs that were a) unused or b)recently installed that may have caused conflicts with other programs, but it only stabilized my system for a longer period of time. I'll run Wise right now, Tradesman.

Oh, and I checked the health of my hard drives, perhaps they were causing the crashes, but no they came back with no errors.

no an Evga GTX560

So far so good after using Wise, but my system has been stable like this before and has just randomly crashed for no good reason.

(sorry for double post).

I upped the voltages and now the system is running better thus far. My mouse froze for a good 5 seconds, but eventually recovered. It looks that it is likely improving, but not entirely fixed.

I had actually overclocked my cpu, so to stablize it I set it to default. I moved the voltages to NB to 1.9, since then I have had only 2 slight freezes that lasted only one second, recovering very quickly. Do you think I should still proceed with increasing the voltage to 2.02 for NB and +.02 to CPU, vCore?

I should note though in 2 years of this computer being overclocked I did not have any of these problems, it's quite odd.

...Spoke too soon I've done the changes to the voltages, time will tell. Will update tomorrow. By the way, appreciate the help Tradesman.

So far, so good since upping the voltages :D hopefully I don't run into any freezes.
