Those types of problems are usually caused by bad power or bad RAM. Sometimes they are caused by overheating. I suggest you run some benchmarks like SiSoft Sandra or membench or memtest86, etc, and locallize the problem.

Asus has a utility for checking the voltages, called Asus Probe. It came with your board. While the temps in Probe are notoriously inaccurate, the voltages are usually close enough.
