Hello.

I recently ran a complete reinstall of my OS (Windows 7 Home 64 bit). Since doing this, every now and then, my PC loses power for a moment, usually not long enough to turn itself off, but video and audio freeze and I hear the fans stop.

It's possible that I've installed the wrong drivers, so I wonder if this could be the cause and if so, which drivers I should be checking.

Hope someone can help, thanks for reading.

Even though it happened awkwardly after you reinstalled Windows, drivers aren't the source of random shut downs. This sounds like lack of power from the power supply, but it could be a possibility, I just dont know what kind of drivers have that access to shut your system down.
