Leythos,

I was thinking about that (onboard video), but I am really glad to
report that I *think* that my problem has been solved :)!!

What I did was replace the original Antec Earthwatts 500 power supply
with an Ultra 750 power supply.

The machine has been up now, for about an hour, and appears to be stable
so far (no more spontaneous reboots).

This is with the 2x2GB G.Skill + 2x2GB Transcend memory, total 8GB, and
with the onboard video :)!!

Thanks for all of the suggestions in this thread, but I figured it'd be
useful to report this.
