    Ive just had this problem develop since installing my new Asus Matrix 285gtx and its driving me crazy. When I play most games or watch video my pc just reboots in seemingly random moments. Sometimes I can play for hours others 10 mins.

    I have reset all CPU overclocking options to defaults and I havent even had a chance to clock the graphics card yet. Ive checked all hardware is correctly seated, changed drivers for all hardware and performed all the bios updates too. I have tried using onboard sound and have also tried various memory combinations and still no joy. Ive tried all the online solutions I can find too...

    So it thought i would try 3dmark vantage and got 14,000 points :( but even after 5 runs it wouldnt crash. General pc use and web browsing is fine only when watching video and playing games.

    sys specs

    Asus P5E3 Premium wi-fi@n
    Q6600 g0 (watercooled but @ stock for testing purposes 29c under load)
    4gb corsair xms 3 1333mhz
    x-fi fatality

    I'm running the 190.38 WHQL at the moment after the 190.62 gave me problems. Might give the 190.89 a try though.
