I recently bought and assembled my own PC. Shortly after it was up and running, I started experiencing random freezes. The computer suddenly freezes, and I have to use hard reboot to get it working again. Windows does not register any relevant error messages regarding the incidents, which are occuring quite frequently. So no help there.
I just switched from Vista 64bit, formating all my harddrives, to Windows 7 RC 64-bit, hoping this would solve it. The problem has not gone away. I've hardly installed any programs yet, so I doubt the problem is software related, and I'm just all out of ideas.. This is my computer, and I was hoping - if there are any obvious errors or conflicts with my current hardware - that you could point it out for me..

Sometimes the motherboard undervolts the ram. Try running a mem test 86, or just go and increase the voltage on it. If that doesn't solve it, try barebone system w/ one stick at a time.
Did you up the voltage to the level required for that kit? The stock voltage is 1.5volts but corsair ram will not run properly at that voltage. Find your kit on this page and then up the voltage to the level listed
