Well, here we go again since I cannot view any suggestions from my first post as it gives me an error 500 and wont allow me to view. Anyways I cannot figure out what is causing my comp to freeze. It freezes like every 5 hrs or so and there are days where it doesn't freeze at all. It froze while playing a game (which thats what it usually happens but I play a lot of games), browsing a website or even comp setting there idle. Its not a freeze where I have control over my mouse or anything. I am not able to do anything at all except to restart comp.

Here is my parts:

ASUS Crosshair V Formula
Amd FX 8150 Black Edition
Power Color Radeon HD 6870x2
2x 4gb Sticks of DDR3 RAM 1866 (GSkill Sniper if it makes a difference)
Kingston Hyper X SSD and regular seagate HDD
NZXT Havik 140 Heatsink/Fan
Antec True Power Quattro 1000W PSU

I forgot to say I was using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit if it makes any difference.....honestly I don't really know how event viewer works....although as I am looking at it now and it states there is 1 thing in the last 24hrs (10 times in the last 7 days) under critical and it says kernel-power. When I double click on it, it says the system was rebooted without cleanly shutting down first etc.

Another thing I want to mention is that I do not have any spare parts anymore as I sold my old parts to a friend of mine. My mobo doesn't have on board video so I can't completely eliminate my video card. Also this maybe something worth to mention as I think it may have something to do with my Mobo or Power supply. In my bios everytime i go to view the voltages menu it freezes and restarts. I remember sending my Mobo back to Asus and they sent me another one back but I have feeling it is the same board. Their reason for their apparent replacement was that there was a short or something (can't remember as i don't have the letter anymore). If not, could it be my psu, if so how can I test it, or could this bios freeze have nothing to do with my comp randomly freezing?
