Hello,
At random times, at random activities my machine freezes/ locks up:
- no keyboard response (incl. NumLock)
- no mouse response
- looping audio
- manual reset works
- no error log in Event viewer.
It's a brand new system; Just put it together this Friday. All drivers are up-to-date
Specs:
* Gigabyte GA-MA78GM motherboard
* AMD Phenom 9650 processor
* 1x2 GB Transcend DDR2 800 RAM.
* Win XP Pro SP2.
I have checked the RAM, SMPS, and HDD. Memtest runs fine/
I don't get lockups at heavy-duty activities but they seem to happen happen at "slow" or idle moments (such as in the middle of typing a message), web surfing, or listening to Music.
The uptime periods are variable too. Sometimes the thing doesn't go down for hours [8+ hours] and sometimes it crashes is 15 mins.
I have currently disabled all the onboard peripherals [sound, firewire etc.]
I am running the latest drivers.
Occasionally I do see an error in the event viewer. I get stop code 0x0000000A [Shows as 1000000A which I think is the same.] and 1000007f. This however occurs very infrequently.
SIDENOTE: I have been running Ubuntu Live fore some time now and it is not creahing under tux. Cant confirm that though, because sometimes I do get 8+ hours of uptime on windows too.
SIDENOTE2: Uptime increases when I disable the audio.
My question is:
What should i check / where should i look? Is is a motherboard or a processor problem? Should I try and RMA it? Could this possibly be a hardware problem?

I have attached a zip file containing my minidumps.
