Huge Headache

SO i ordered all new parts for my computer:

ASUS X1900XT
Intel Pentium D 950 3.4ghz Dual Core
ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe
Hard Drive
OCZ Gold Series 2GB DDR2 DDR2 667 Dual Channel
Athena 520W PSU

So, I've got all these parts installed with the most current drivers. I've come a long way at least from many blue screen lock ups and freezes to not being able to boot.

but now, my problem is that i'm getting random restarts and some crashes to desktop (especially in 3D applications). I ran artifact scanner and didn't get any artifacts after running it for 45 minutes or so. I took out one of the ram modules and stil lgot the lock ups. I've yet to take out the other. I have tried ATI Drivers, Asus drivers, and Omega drivers. Ati seem to be the most stable. I've also updated the nvidia nforce drivers.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
could be a lot of things. Esp when you can't reproduce it on demand.
some things that come to mind are:
*temperature
*does it happen with a different graphics card
*ram settings...try upping votage a little or slowing down speed of ram?
assuming you ran memtest?
I was getting occasional bsod till I dropped my rams speed, now I haven't had one for at least 6 months I would guess, whereas they were coming a couple a week before that.
*weak power supply
*could try a debugger and try to analyze the minidump

In the meantime perhaps this will help
