Check your power supply with a digital volt meter. Don't trust the
on-board monitors for voltages. I have had that issue already occur.
Also I have a new machine that was locking up on me and turned out to be
the BIOS. Changing the BIOS resulted in very stable operation. This
problem showed up when I added more memory.
