Both vso and hava are required. But for testing purposes, I can uninstall them and reinstall later?YES
Set the ram back to stock.
You can check gpu with Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Then run memtest,if its possible live it overnight.
Okay,
Things I've done:
Uninstalled vso and hava.
Observations @ 24/25C ambient
1. Ran only Prime95 (CPU + Mem Blend) for 8 hours - CPU temps peaked at 64C. No errors / shutdown.
2. Ran only Furmak for 3 hours - GPU temps peaked at 79C. No errors / shutdowns.
3. Ran both above together for 2 hours - GPU temps peaked at 80C. CPU temps peaked at 73C (too high?) But no errors / shutdown.s
Seems like problems occur only when gaming, and all my hardware seems okay. But gaming does not last beyond 20-30 mins.
Next i'll set the RAM back to stock and stress it with memtest86+. But like i mentioned earlier, it had already passed about 3 hours of memtest with 0 errors @ 1600 8-8-8-24.
I'm lost.

Set the RAM back to stock.
Try to play,post back here the results.
Then run memtest.

Dont run 2 tests the same time,just one at the time.
Okay, so I backed out the RAM changes and it has worked fine all weekend. I've gamed rather extensively, and I've not seen one single lockup or restart :) It's funny, since it had passed about 3 hours of memtest86+ with that setting.
Anyway, it's possible that my board was undervolting the RAM @ 1.5v, whereas most reviews of the RAM tell me that 1600 8-8-8-24 is achieved @ ~1.65v.
I'll try to volt it up to that next and see if I can gain stability on the rated speeds.
Maybe i'll also try reinstalling the software (Kaspersky / VSO / Hava) and see if it's stable.
Thanks again Panais for all your help.
