Hi,
Ever since i have updated my hardware components to :
Abit aw9d-max motherboard, Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHz (1066FSB), g.skill 2GB DDR2 NQ PC2-6400 (2x1GB), my computer reboots at random intervals (especially when attempting to try and play PC Games, 3D Mark 2006. I have ordered and tried new ram-OCZ 2GB PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC DDR2(OCZ2P800R22GK). I have tried changing voltages and frequency etc etc but still reboots. Then i installed the minimum hardware/drivers (just incase drivers clashing etc) and the computer still reboots. I think it is a CPU or Motherboard problem or can the OCZ ram also be faulty?
My previous config was amd 64 dual core 3800+, ECS Extreme Lite Motherboard.

Motherboard: Abit aw9d-max
Motherboard Driver: 8.3.0.1011
Motherboard Chipset: i975x
Motherboard BIOS: 15
CPU: Intel core 2 quad q6600, 2.40GHz
Memory: G.skill, 2x1gig, 800mhz, dual channel ddr2 NQ PC2-6400
Memory Latency: 5-5-5-15
Memory (2nd attempt): OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)
Memory Latency (2nd attempt): 4-4-4-15
PSU: jeantech storm 700w
Graphics: Inno 3d 8800GTX
Graphics Driver: 7.15.11.6222
Sound Card: n/a
Sound Driver: n/a
Operating system: vista 64bit
Changes prior to problem: changed cpu/motherboard/ram
As Above you can see that i have no sound card installed=i am trying out the comp with the most minimum config as possible. the sound card i use is creative labs elite pro X-Fi, driver: 6.0.1.1302(computer still reboots) doh.

I heard that there is a little chance the CPU is faulty?
Can also a faulty motherboard cause these random reboots? Or a faulty motherboard just will not boot up?
Also have tried playing around with the voltages/frequencies of the Ram, still no happiness.
Any Ideas anyone?
Hope to hear from you soon
cheers
