Recently my system has been locking up, rebooting and getting BSOD's whilst playing games and sometimes just in windows, I was also experiencing a few graphical anomilies, during gaming and windows use i would experiance a breif screen flash on my primary monitor like an overlay of a different screen that only appeared for a split second.
I decided to narrow down the problem so i began by running memtest86 for a couple of hours with no problems, thinking it may be a faulty drive I used a self booting HD Diagnostic utility which found no errors, I removed all non Essential hardware from the system (Sound card, NIC, Raid HD's & optical Drive) but the problem persisted.
I decided to do a fresh install of windows but now as soon as the installation gets to the Loading windows dialog the system hangs (2 or 3 mins from the start of the install) now the system will no longer boot past the part where it should load the GUI.
