   Heat or memory are the first things to look at on a new build. Are the fans running correctly? Can you monitor the stats with the motherboard utility? Can you swap or remove ram. Can you replace the video card with a spare as a test?
   
   How about using:

   So you can check the minidump log and find the error?
   
   Good luck!
