OK, I've re-tested the RAM and all the RAM slots, still nothing. HOWEVER, I've noticed that if I drop from using 8GB RAM to 2 or 4GB then the machine runs just peachy.
What's going on 'ere then? Never had any problems running 8GB before, but now with 8GB the machine locks up/BSOD or reboots randomly.

It's probably a badly behaved driver. Most likely the graphics; especially if it's ATI. What graphics are you using? Is it Turbo-cache or "proper" memory? If you're using a 64 bit Windows, are all your drivers signed? Are they third party, or the ones from the Windows disk?
If it's Linux or something else, then I haven't a clue. For some reason, I always figured you're a Linux user.

The problem occurs in both Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64. No problems in Linux.
My mobo is the ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe Wifi edition.
My CPU is the Phenom II 955.
The memory I'm running is 8GB of this: OCZ Platinum Series 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel.
I read that some people were having issues with my combination of mobo, cpu & 8GB RAM were having trouble since the 1705 BIOS revision, so I've reverted to the previous 1604 version to see if it makes a difference.
If not, I guess I'm stuck using 4GB until further notice.
