OK its not the PSU - I changed over the old one with one from my computer 550w that runs alot more than the old computer and works very well in mine.
(I WAS HOPING IT WAS THE PSU BUT NO DAMN IT)
Strange thing today is I can't get the Voltages to spike even with the old PSU. I have flashed the BIOS to the latest patch I can get, I have reset the cmos in case of any faults their. I am going to swap the graphic card over as the games and programs that crash use that graphics card. If that doesn't work then I have to find out whether it is the CPU or Motherboard or both.
I am going to run PRIME95 tonight to see what happens, I will run it for 12 hours to see what happens. I ran memtester86 for 24 hours on all 4 sticks of ram and no problems there.

I'll keep on trying - I hate to let computers to beat me.
