uninstalled virus and firewall, still froze
quit all processes minus 19 system, still froze
reset CMOS, froze twice before I could even set the clock
unplugged 2 case fans, my dvd+rw, waiting to see if it will freeze.

Wanted to get a quick post in before it goes again, its happening about every 5 minutes now.

Edit: BTW, the PSU I have now is a 480 watt, manufacturer is Powmax... Came with my DiabltoTek case, I guess they are the same company.
What do you think about these instead? :
Thermaltake W0062RU TR2 Series 420W Power Supply Retail $49.99
Thermaltake W0070RUC TR2 Series 430W Power Supply Retail $44.95
Ultra ULT31564 X-Connect 500W ATX Power Supply w/2 80mm Fans $54.99
Ultra ULT31556 X-Connect 500W ATX Power Supply w/2 80mm Fans (Titanium) Retail $42.50

Im figuring I will need around 420 Watts to be safe, I will have 2 HDD and 2 Optical drives, the CPU, 4 case fans, heatsink, and video card
