790132 2009-07-14 00:24:00 OK, it was the sound causing the crashes. I started playing a game (with X-Fi) and after about 2 hours, my PC crashed. I removed the soundcard and plugged my speakers into my motherboards s/pdif usin a coax cable, so far i havnt had any crashes and iv been playing for about another 2 hours. Usually once its crashed it will almost certainly crash again within 10 mins if i try to play a game or video, but since i removed the soundcard it hasnt crashed at all.

I read somewhere that powerful graphics cards can create inteference on X-Fi soundcards causing a whole load of problems, this is why the titanium X-Fi has a shield around it. Is there anything i can do to try and stop this interference?
I will get in contact with creative and try to get a new card out of them but im not sure how long my warrenty lasts.

I will do some more testing tomorrow just to make sure.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this problem, much appreciated.

790134 2009-07-14 01:23:00 Could you try another PCI slot for the sound card, did you have the onboard sound disabled when you had the sound card in before? SolMiester (139)
