Computer freezes while using, must shut power off

More than a month is a long time for new hardware to go without a driver update. Especially video and BIOS. You're not giving much info about your setup. Have you applied SP1? Go straight to the event logs and check for errors.

SP1 is applied. Windows just did a bunch of updates earlier today, is that what you're talking about? Or is there something else I should be doing.

Any errors show up in the event logs?

I'll be damned, my a/c unit was turned off over the weekend while gone and I forgot until I started sweating, lol. I cranked it up and cooled the house down, no problems since. Could it have been that it was overheating?

I'll go ahead and do the screen shot thing just to make sure Scrooge. Carwiz, I don't know how to check event logs, but I'm sure I can learn.

Wow, I need to start learning some things.

EDIT: I Googled it and holy crap, I have 115 admin events with "critical" "error" and other stuff. I assume I should erase them? Is there a way to?

Thank you everyone for your help.

Ok guys, sorry to bother again...take a look at this please.

so is it working alright for you now?
i'd think it must have been very hot in your room to make the system crash like that.
did you check your system temps yet? if not you can download (RealTemp).

my system temps were low it appeared. I got home today and it worked great with the house cool. After a couple hours, it went berserk. I have rebooted 5 times in the past hour. GGRRRRR
