Hey there,
I've recently assembled a new setup:
Intel Core i7 860
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P (rev 1.0) BIOS F8
4GB Corsair Dominator 1600 CMD4GX3M2A1600C8 ( 8-8-8-24 1.65v )
Zalman 9900NT CPU Cooler
Gigabyte Radeon HD5850 OC GV-R5850-1GD
Seagate Barracuda ES2 ST3500320NS 500gb HD
Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB WD15EARS
Zalman ZM600-HP 600W PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
The problem is that I carry on getting random reboots in Windows. The screen seems to tear slightly then the system reboots itself almost instantly. No BSOD or anything. Sometimes it happens at the login screen, sometimes while watching movies, sometimes while browsing the net, and pretty much always within the first 30 minutes of a prime95 torture test.
I've tried a variety of BIOS settings. The most stable so far (i.e. least numerous resets) seems to be:

I let memtest run this morning while I was out. Ran for +- 6 hours, 11 passes, 0 errors, so I'm quite sure it's not a memory problem. I've reset my BIOS to optimised defaults for the mean time, and changed memory performance enhance to standard. Ran 4 passes of memtest with 0 errors, but still getting reboots in Windows. I also removed the CPU and checked the socket for bent pins, cause I'd read that this was a common issue with the LGA-1156 socket, but all the pins were fine.
All drivers are up to date, and I've flashed the BIOS to latest (F8). I'm running out of ideas here... I've attached the minidump from my last crash if anyone cares to take a look.
Thanks and any help would be much appreciated.
