Computer randomly freezes and needs reset

Hi - I have a brand new PC, with quad core Intel 3.2Ghz chip, 4 GB nVidia
DDR3 Ram, twin Raid 300GB HD and a 500Gb HD. I am running Windows Vista Home
Premium 64 Bit. I have a linksys n-Wireless PCI card, and a 1 Gb nVidia
GeForce 9800 Ultra.

The problem is that for no reason my computer has started freezing. Once
during boot up. Several times whilst in Windows (with no programs running).
Other times when running programs. The Freeze requires a reboot. All the
device drivers are up to date and I have Vista SP1. I have also checked that
all cards are correctly seated, and all cables properly pushed home.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Call support and complain ASAP. Even consider returning it ASAP. Does not
mater if it is Vista, or hardware. Do not assume the problem by keeping it
past the return period unless they can FIX it!
