Catalyst drivers are from ATI's website . No I'm not overclocking anything .

And I don't think the viaide . sys thing is the problem, because the computer boots fine most times, it was just that one time it displayed the 7B stop .

476290 2006-08-07 06:58:00 my final suggestion then and this is going to sound really weird I know...

I had a memory address conflict on 1 game between the gfx card and the sound card. It occured after a driver update on both and I found I had to roll back the sound drivers to fix it. It only occured at a very specific point in the game and with 1 sound only but it was like clockwork and rebooted the system everytime without fail. may or maynot be your problem but its all I can think of at the moment
