Well I just built a smoking hot new computer. Specs are:

ASUS P5NE-SLI
E6750
2GB RAM
8800GTS
600 watt psu
160GB HD

The machine runs amazing for about 1-2 hours, and then things start to go haywire. First the sound starts to stutter, loop, and just sound horrible. Then, the mouse in games/windows/anything starts to stick and jump around the screen. It will get worse and worse until I just can't stand it anymore and reboot. The reboot seems to fix it, but then again, 1-2 hours later, everything goes under again and the whole process starts all over again.

Any ideas?

sounds like it's getting too hot or something after a couple hours of use... Try re-seating the processor and HSF, also make sure power cables are not the slightest bit loose.

Alright, I've download and installed CPU-Z and CoreTemp. Here are screen shots:

Doesn't seem abnormally warm for being on all day?

EDIT: Unload it doesn't go above 50C, so i'm really not sure whats going on

Bump seems to be running fine now, the only thing different i'm doing now is not using Ventrilo..
