    Blue Screen Of Death

    Sounds like it could also be a memory problem.. or even an error in the registry.

    How frequent is it?

    Looks ok..

    I'm still betting its the PSU..

    The only problem with PSUs is you get what you pay for..
    Thats why I blew £88 on mine..

    But you can pick up a decent Tagan PSU for 32 notes here..
    ( at the very bottom :) )
