Michael22:
I have to go now,
I will be back later on tonight as it is already 15:30 over here i think we have a time difference.
Thank you so far
Shane:
Sounds good, when you get back, tell me exactly happens right before it crashes, and does anything else casue the system to crash?
Also what scans have you done on the system to make sure it is clean, and have you also done a bad sector check on the drive yet to make sure none of the files are on a bad sector.

Yeah, as Shane said check for bad sectors, I would run chkdsk C:
To see if data is getting corrupt. I would like to see the results to that. It just seems hardware related at this point.
Then check your memory, with memtest86 and run that on restart with a boot up disc. Maybe checking each stick of ram individually. Most memory problems are found on the first pass.
Or just use windows 8.1's memory diagnostics, it will ask you to restart now or later to run the check. Should be in the administrator tools. But memtest86 is better.
Boggin:
It would be better to run chkdsk without any switches and if it finds bad files/sectors it will tell you the switch to use.
This is because if the /r switch is used and there are bad sectors, data can be lost as it moves what it can to the good areas of the disk and the check is much quicker when run in just read-only mode.
If it finds bad sectors then you should back up your personal stuff before running a chkdsk /r.
The /r switch has the attributes of /f so it will repair as it moves the data http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730714.aspx
