Try each stick of RAM indiviually first--->then pull the video card second--->

It may be anyone of your components failing, or could just be an instable OC

---> represent: reboot and see if problem persists

well !, the ram are ok ...tested them and tested a while width other ram...im wery sure is not the ram ......im more incline to the video card.....but when i test the video car its ok......but the video card gets power when this strange thing happens....and still no error beeps when it happens....'
could it be the Mobo ??
PS. i get it even when im not doing OC
 
I have a motherboard that does this randomly, although not that bad. I always had to power cycle it a dozen time and/or reset the BIOS, but it didn't happen daily.

First thing I notice though is you have 1600MHz ram. Do you have it set to that speed? The Phenom II memory controller is only 1333 so if you set it to 1600 you ARE overclocking the memory controller. most can handle 1600MHz with a CPU-NB voltage bump. Although mine isn't stable above 1580
