I just built this machine yesterday and i'm having a lot of lockups and have no clue why. I'll start running steam and it'll freeze completely and i'll have to hard boot. I made this vid last night and i know this isn't right. (cpu usage)

specs:
amd 64 4800+
asus 8AN-SLI Deluxe
2GB PC3200
2 x BFG 7800GTX
36.7 Raptor (OS)
2 x 80GB WD 7200 SATA (Raid 0)
SB Audigy 2ZS

here's the vid:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First things first, which BIOS are you using on the Asus?

Are you overclocking?

What kind of memory are you using?

Power supply?
