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.
