My recently built PC keeps crashing ... how to figure out what's wrong?
Post Body

OS: Win 7 Enterprise

CPU: i7-3770K 3.5 GHz

RAM: 16 GB G.Skill Trident X Series (2 Dimms)

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW

Motherboard: ASRock Extreme9 Z77

Something is jacked up with the sound / graphics on this guy. Under really, really light loads (I'm talking light web browsing with pandora / youtube running in the background), the computer will freeze up intermittently, the sound will start to stutter, and then one of two things will happen: either the graphics driver will crash and reset, and I can use it for a bit longer, or the machine will BSOD, but I'm not entirely sure how to get a readout on what it is saying.

I've gone through every tech support option with EVGA ... they have replaced my graphics card once already. It made the situation a little better (no longer crashing as often, and it used to get a red screen, which no longer happens), but it needs to be better. This is a work machine, so I need 99.99% uptime from it.

Thanks!
