It does seem incredibly random, in fact Im sure at one
point the power just kept recycling during the bios loading.


however saying that, Ive changed it to not recycle but
to freeze on blue screen and it appears that the error
message is page_fault_in_non_paged_area


Do you guys think that this could have somethign to do with a power short?


Nope, it definitely wont be that.

What does the event log say ?

Since you have changed almost everything, try using
a different cabinet. Probably the wires/plugs coming
from the cabinet's reset/power buttons are shorting.


Unlikely, and the event log will prove that.

If it is driver related, it would occur immediately after some
event, and not randomly. Try to identify this event. It could
be anything from running an app to plugging a device.


And the event log should make it obvious that its not random.
