hey, long story short, my system crashes.

I bought a new system and put it together, works fine, but now and again, usually after a couple of hours, I get a blue screen, a dumb counter runs up and the system reboots.

Some info:
I'm running Windows Vista 64 with hardware: an E8500, 4 gyg ram, radeon 4870, 4 HDDs and a soundcard inside, on 600 watt. In the case are 4 120 mm fans, excluding CPU and graphics card fan. And two TFTs, but that should not matter, I think.

The CPU itself is at about 25 degrees, both cores are at about 40 degrees. All HDDs are running below 40 degrees, ranging 28-38. The radeon is about 50 degrees. So, all this does not look to be the problem, I think.

I've formatted the HDD Vista is running on, so no bad software left behind. Installed the newest mainboard drivers and I'm pretty sure the BIOS is still up to date, since it's fresh from the factory.

So not much to work with, I guess, since I can't point out a cause. No weird noises or previous warnings.

This is the message Vista gives:

Problem signature:

Does anyone know how to .. read such messages?

Thanks in advance.
