And the MS hits just keep on coming.... Normally takes me a full day to get thru them all.
Anything show up from the crash?
It is interesting you were doing Live TV when it crashed...

I have seen this before..... Wish I thought of it sooner.
Your motherboard is Auto-Checking the memory modules and their timing settings.
When I built my new box a few months ago it would Randomly freeze or reboot on me.

Go into Bios and under the ram settings, verify the system is setting the ram up properly to the Spec's of the memory you purchased. I found mine was not set properly and after setting them manually I have not had another problem.

Also, when it does die, do you actually see the Blue Screen or just if just pop off and reboot?
If it just pops off, it might be possible it does not have enough power or the power is over heating. I do remember you are using a different power source...

I've got a 120 w power brick... shouldn't have any power issues.

I see full blue screen report. This last one rebooted pretty quick, so couldn't see much of what it said.

I'll see what I can do in bios.

Right click Computer and go to Properties
Click on Advanced System Settings
Click on Startup and Recovery
Uncheck automatically restart
That should leave the Blue Screen up

aha!

DRAM was auto set to 1333 ... should be 1600

Did you verify the voltage settings for the DRam?
Mine were off by like .4 but it was enough to make a difference

 

[2BitSculptor]

they looked correct... I'll take another look when/if it pops again
