PC restarting after installing windows xp

My pc has random freezes and restarts unexpectedly

My pc specs are:

Asus Rampage II extreme

i7 920 @4.01Ghz

Corsair Dominator GT 3x2GB

Asus ATI 5870

1tb WD Black

160GB WD Blue

Silverstone strider PSU

I have got the latest drivers for my motherboard from the asus website, installed the latest flash from adobe and the latest drivers from ATI.

When ever i try watching a youtube video on normal screen and on full screen, the pc freezes and restarts. Also every now and again the mouse cursor freezes for a few seconds and unfreezes. The mouse im using is a steelseries kinzu and i have got the drivers installed for it.

These problems are so annoying. How do i fix them?
 
check you havent got any viruses etc, reset your cmos and reapply your settings, uninstall flash and reinstall it, run a registry scan with ccleaner

just a few ideas hope it helps

I ran a virus scan which told i f have no viruses, i done a reset on the cmos, reapplied all the settings, done a registry scan with ccleaner and removed any problesm it found.

Even though i done all of the above, the problem is still there

if it was me, i would now backup data i wanted and then reformat and install windows again

but others might have some ideas

Well my PSU has 18 amp per rail and that keeps two 5870s and an overclocked 1090 afloat - so there is no lacking in that department
 
could be an unstable oc. I had thoise issues with my AMD card as well but ever since moving to Green Team havent seen it. So I am assuming its driver related but again might need a lil more volts on gpu or cpu to stablize it

i'll try putting a little more volts through the cpu, the gpu isnt overclocked so i guess i wont need to change the voltage on it
 
although the mouse issues seems to have been fixed, pc still crashing when watching youtube videos on full screen
