Hello everyone!

I just set up my very first custom build computer. Surprisingly, I had very few problems getting everything set up.

To the point:
My pc keeps shutting down. It occurs only during periods of time when I am NOT using it. I can use it for hours upon end and it will not shut down. When it is left alone overnight however, it BSODs and gives me the following error message.

One more thing. My friend set up a similar machine and is having a hard time reconciling his bios/cpu with his ram speed (1600mHz), and he knows more about this than I do... and yes, his voltage was set to spec. He is experiencing random BSODs just like me.

My rig:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Asus EVO M4A79xTD
AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8GHz
G. Skill DDR3 1600 1.5v 4GB
Saph Radeon HD5670 512mb GDDR5


If you check newegg.com under this G.Skill ram, you can see TONS of other complains like mine. The only info the manufacturers offer is to increase the HT voltage to 1.4 but that did not fix my issue. I minimized the frequency of shutdowns by going back to stock memory settings, but they still happened and I am not happy with doing that anyway (I payed for 1600MHz darnet!). :)
