Bodhi,

I have just experienced the same problem as you have.  About a week ago my system started acting up exactly the same as yours.  I thought it may be software and restored my HD from an image from a month ago.  After a bit the blue screen and reboot happened again and several more times. 
I had built my system in March using Crucial Ballistix RAM.  A month or so ago, I wanted to add 2 more GB of the same type but when I went to Newegg, the reviews really slammed the Crucial RAM so I held off buying it. Many failures happening within a few months of installation.  Ah ha, a light comes on.  I replaced my RAM with some Corsair and so far no reboots, everything fine.  Try replacing your RAM, it worked for me.

Salute,
BeDee

I used Corsair memory.  Memory has tested fine.  It appears to be a motherboard issue.  Abit's customer service sucks butt.  I ordered a board from ASUS this afternoon.  When I get it, I am going to file a complaint with my CC company with regards to the MB purchase and see how Abit likes that.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

It was the motherboard.  Replaced it with a new ASUS board, and I am no longer having the issues.

ABIT sucks the proverbial donkey stick though...  still can not get them to refund my money or take the POS back.
