Have you checked the Windows Event Viewer?

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer
 
What's the make/model of the PSU? How many amps on the 5 and 12V outputs? Read that off the label (see the pic in my sig below, LABEL Ex: 12V @28Amps and 5V@32Amps).

Have you run memtest or any other memory error checker?
