New PC built

I built a new PC over the weekend. For the most part its awesome....when its not locking up. I've had it lock up about 4 times now. Once on the Windows boot screen, once on the desktop and a couple times in World of Warcraft. I don't know if its the RAM, video card or some other issue. Maybe you guys can help me narrow it down. Here are my system specs:

MSI Neo2 Platinum
AMD64 3500+
Nvidia 6800GT AGP
Corsair PC3200 1GB
Ultra-X Connect 500W PSU
Raptor 74GB HD

I have all the latest drivers installed and patches from Microsoft. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
You might want to check the Event Viewer to get some details on what is causing the problems. Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer (assuming you're using WinXP)
 
How about try a high-quality power supply such as an Enermax 🙂 Raise your memory voltage to 2.7 volts too, PC3200 doesn't always appreciate AUTO voltage.
 
Well the PSU I had received praise all across the board. They said it was one of the best, if not, the best. I looked in Event Viewer but didn't see any significant problems.
