I thought RAM when I had spontaneous reboots so maybe your right...
Memtest was good but I will see what Prime95 in Windows brings up. thanks

I have been getting blue screens and spontaneous reboots this year.
It doesn't happen very often and I am usually not doing anything
when it occurs. My first thought was memory but Memtest left to run
18 hours says the RAM is good. The log file says it was caused by
these two files crashing dxgkrnl.sys and dxgmms1.sys which
are DirectX files. They appear to be common files to blue screen
crashes. A lot of people seem to have this crash while playing a
game... I don't play games. I am using two ATI Sapphire 5700s with
April 2012 drivers. Does anybody think it is the video drivers?...
could it be something to do with DirectX? I have posted the log
file. http://www.winterlight.org/bluescreen.txt
With that error message I would suspect the graphics driver, but I
also wouldn't rule out memory as I've recently had MemTest miss a
failure, but a Prime95 test fail fast. I'm not an ATI/AMD user,
though, so I could be wrong.
Have you tried to move the memory around to see if the faulting
module moves too? If so and it doesn't move, it's probably video
driver, if so and it does move I'd suspect RAM.
