Computer randomly freezes and needs reset

Hi - I have a brand new PC, with quad core Intel 3.2Ghz chip, 4 GB nVidia
DDR3 Ram, twin Raid 300GB HD and a 500Gb HD. I am running Windows Vista Home
Premium 64 Bit. I have a linksys n-Wireless PCI card, and a 1 Gb nVidia
GeForce 9800 Ultra.

The problem is that for no reason my computer has started freezing. Once
during boot up. Several times whilst in Windows (with no programs running).
Other times when running programs. The Freeze requires a reboot. All the
device drivers are up to date and I have Vista SP1. I have also checked that
all cards are correctly seated, and all cables properly pushed home.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

This could be so many things..im not exaclty a home premium expert but i
know its one of the worst vistas if not the worst. Try a clean install
for a start lol.

If you don't want to do that try removing some of the programs that
come with the computer, maybe delete some startup entrys that could
conflict somehow. Maybe all the hardware isnt configured properly,
although you was sure it was.

Try taking out one of the HD's and boot into each one seperatly, see if
the problem arises again, then get back to me and maybe i could help.

Not really enough information to go by at the minute.

Call support and complain ASAP. Even consider returning it ASAP. Does not
mater if it is Vista, or hardware. Do not assume the problem by keeping it
past the return period unless they can FIX it!
