1. What errors are present in the event viewer after one of these freezes?

2. Have you tested your PSU's output voltages? (guides available in the
archives of this group and many places online, with images)

3. Instead of banging your head trying to figure this out, back up your
data (it should have been backed up anyway prior to changing
motherboards) and do a clean install (reformat, reinstall) of windows.

Cheers,

Ari
