Thanks. Attached is my Speccy overview screenshot, together with BIOS screenshots showing my voltages. I noticed that the DRAM was v low for my RAM. I have Mushkin 991657 RAM which is really voltage sensitive and needs 1.85-1.95v to run stably. It was trying to run set to Auto in the BIOS which had it down at 1.5v, so I changed it to 1.9v and will see how it runs. I set it to 1.9v when I installed this mobo and CPU and did the fresh W7 install so it must have somehow reset the BIOS during one of its BSODs or reboots.
My PSU is a 1000w Corsair and my whole system (inc 3 monitors, speakers and printer) draw less than 500W at peak CPU power. I have my system plugged in to a battery backup UPS which tells me how my power it draws, but the monitors, speakers and printer draw directly from the UPS.
Also, I've been monitoring temps and haven't seen high CPU or GPU temps as I'm running stock clocks and voltages with an Antec 120 Tower Extreme cooler on the CPU. I'm also about to install a Kuhler 620 water cooler to the 7970 GPU.
I'll see if changing the DRAM voltage makes a difference to the reboots.
Cheers
Simon
