Basically my problem is exactly as described in the title. I have recently built a new gaming pc and decided to install windows 8 instead of windows 7 this time around. Usually the crash happens when I'm not using the computer. Windows 8 tells me that "your computer has restarted because of a problem" when it boots back up. I've reinstalled the OS and this is still happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
So basically, it happens when the pc is on idle? If this is the case, it could be a setting in the control panel under the power settings where it gives you the option on what to do when the pc is left to do nothing.
