Hi there Swayzak,
I can’t fix your problem …computers are very complicated things 😉 but I might be able to get you closer to a resolution?
Your PC didn’t actually just reboot, it blue-screened (BSOD).
My guess is that you are running Windows XP? Try going to Start-Control Panel-System-Advance tab and click the ‘Settings’ button in the Start up and recovery section.
Look in the middle of that panel under ‘System failure’ for a check box that has the description ‘Automatically Restart’.
Un-tick that box and next time the crash occurs you will see the error/bug-check report.
I guess this was Bill-and-the-gang’s way of hiding the infamous Blue Screen of Death.
Anyway now that you can see the BSOD, you can have a look what it says and perhaps try and chase it down.
For example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms789516.aspx
Please note that from my experience, the BSOD will probably report something different each time and the descriptions thus won’t really be of much use.
Given that you have just changed out the MotherBoard I would be looking at driver issues first. Make sure your PC is stable for general use and then start testing your music apps one by one.
The only other alternative is to run a trace program that logs everything your PC does but this requires some pretty in-depth knowlege.
Hope this helps, Good luck 🙂
