    What are you doing when this lock up occurs ?

    I assume you are running all of the latest drivers, including chipset BIOS and GPU.

    Have you run a chkdsk on your HD. Sometimes a few bad sectors in the right places will make a computer do things you never thought possible, plus high density HD's are prone to error.
