Fat.Clown will become famous soon enough

Default unstable machine

Problem:
computer would just randomly freeze, sometimes right when i get onto the desktop

sometimes it'd run hours no problem (i've ran folding@home (GPU and single core)for 2 days straight no freeze)

no BSOD either, just freezes

if I try to run uTorrent, it's almost guarnteed instant freeze

Spec:
Q6600@2.4ghz 1.325v (1.3v with vdroop)
asus p5q pro nb 1.3v sb 1.2v
4 sticks of ddr2 2gb @ 800 5-5-5-15 2.0v
video card stock
2 HDDs 1 optical

Tests done:
I tested with prime95(2 hr), OCCT bench (1 hr) and furmark (15min) all pass
temps all seem fine
and I ran memtest86 back when I got these rams, passed

HD tune 2.55 error scan fine
health status -ok on both drives


Theory:
either I need to format and reinstall windows or maybe one of my hard drive is failing?
I think Chris (Baez) had his hard drive failing and causing problems too?
or maybe mother board is a goner?


any thoughts, comments, inputs or insults?
