Answer» Okay, I have a PROBLEM involving my computer.
It's a newly built machine, say, about 2 weeks old. Custom built of course.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit ULTIMATE edition.
The problem is that whenever I turn my computer on in the morning/afternoon after it's been shutdown for the night it eventually crashes and brings up a blank light blue-ish screen. No TEXT, nothing.
This USUALLY happens 5-10 minutes after I've been doing something like browsing the internet. And when I turn my computer back on, I get the "Windows has shut down unexpectedly" and I'm given the option to run in safe mode, normal, etc.
When checking the event logs, I'm always given a critical error when this happens: http://i47.tinypic.com/15oikiw.jpg
I assumed this was a motherboard chipset error. Which would make sense, since I forgot to use the installation disc that came with my motherboard. So, I dig out the disc and insert it and install everything it recommends. So, here I am thinking I'm all set to go.. But, when I turn my computer on this morning, while checking the weather (snow ), my computer once again crashes into this blue screen. I don't know what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I will supply any more details if needed.
Thanks.
Edit: Oh, I forgot to add, the Computer works perfectly after I start it up after the crash. Everything works fine, until I shut it down and boot it back up several HOURS later.Motherboard standoffs installed correctly ? ?

Thermal paste is applied. And I have all standoffs but one installed when putting everything together. Nothing seems loose, so I didn't think much of it.
