Hey everyone. I just recently built myself a computer. Since I built it I've had issues with my computer just randomly restarting whenever the hell it feels like. Also, programs tend to crash more often than I believe they should. Firefox especially, and games as well. I've heard this could be a RAM issue, but I've ran Memtest86+ and it seems like my RAM is fine. I even manually set the timings on the RAM to make sure it was right. Anyone know what else this could be?

System Specs:

Mobo: P55M-UD2
Video Card: ATI Radeon 4870
Processor: Intel i5 Quad Core
RAM: G.Skill (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10600
PSU: Corsair TX650W
OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition

Thanks alot for you're time. Let me know if you need any more info!

Right click My Computer,
Properties,
Advanced tab,
Settings button (Startup and Recovery),
uncheck Automatically Restart.

Now you should get an error message when it happens again.
