Take off all your OC to see if that the problem, especially if it is doing it every time under those circumstances.  I would format first.  Then I would test the PSU.  I don't think it is your CPU.  Even under extreme OC situation you'll have long upgraded before you would have ever had to worry about your CPU.

Yes, blue screen of death is what it stands for :P *waits for another reiterate what BSOD stands for* oh ... I might note... that there will be a number and a driver outputted on that screen... write them down.... you don't have to write down what it says in the first three paragraphs... it always says that stuff... but like there will be a line after that that will point to a driver... though that line isn't always there... but the next line will look something like this: 0x12345678(0x12345678 0x12345678 0x12345678 0x12345678) just write down the first set that isnt' in parenthesis... in fact you could just write down 0x78 and that would be fine but usually this is either a driver issue or your hardware has failed... it's just trying to determine exactly what....

^ Just set it back to stock settings. Also might want to check the temps of your CPU and GPU.

Isn't that case a tad small for such a huge system? I thought it was small when I had a single 6600 GT and a P4... Try a better case to cool things off. the Antec P180b has better cooling but it's not as nice to work with (I have a soprano under my desk and a p180b on top of it) the Mozart TX is next on my list but if you are in the market a TT Armor like Generalkill8888 has would be what I would recommend...

Glad to hear you like the armor.. As I was weighing between the armor and the p180b.. for some reason I got the p180.. not very nice to work on... but the mozart should be big enough for me.. the Armor would be about the same as the Xaser III I used to have.

I have the Antec P108b too, Its my 2nd rig, I like it alot too, though cable management is not all the best :D But still it keeps everything nice and quiet.

Very very true, After I installed all of my components my hands had a couple of cuts on them, the Case is so dang small, I bought a modular PSU to go with it and the cable management is still terrible. Oh well, its still very silent which is nice. Also the case looks nice.
