New build randomly freezing

'Recently I just built my first desktop gaming build but I have bee
having some issues. Sometimes the computer will completely lock up t
where I have to restart to get it up and running again. So far it seem
that it locks up whenever I am either a) playing a game or b
transferring a large file over from my laptop on my network. WoW ha
froze upon loading into the game initially and Far Cry 2 has froz
loading initially as well. I have already updated my video drivers t
the latest version as well as my chipset and bios drivers for th
motherboard. The next thing I was going to try was to use Memtest86+ an
see if I have a bad stick of ram that maybe causing the problem. I
anyone could offer me any advice I would be much obliged.

IMO, you're looking in the right direction. Also look into any possible
cooling issues if the memory checks out. Check room, case and CPU temps at
idle and at full load. Post results here and/or in an overclocking forum for
more feedback. Include hardware specs as well.
