Seeing the issue pretty much started happening when i swapped from HD5970 to GTX580, it's clear i have to search there. If the rewiring doesn't make any difference i got 2 more tricks up my sleeve.

- Up voltage from 1000 mV to 1025 mV (Perhaps a notch higher to 1038 mV).
- Force Constant voltage in MSI Afterburner so it doesn't go up and down while Adaptive Mode is enabled.

Seem to have happend again today at 15:50 and Windows Log was flooded with NTFS errors. PC still runs fine tho, but i got the feeling it's one of the SSDs after all.

Ive already been looking for some other SSD. Non-SandForce and Non-OCZ. I can't be bothered with RMA either and end up with another bad sample. Currently looking at a Crucial M4 256GB and go Single Drive aswell.

Posted on some forums about the Crucial, i basicly wanna know if they are reliable.

So far replaced Memory and SSD, no deal. This is getting annoying.

Right now i'm about to RMA my PSU, that's the only other Hardware that's highly likely to cause the problem. Basicly upgrading PC with parts 1 by 1 and t's very frustrating and expensive.

If anyone has other ideas let me know.

Well the problem is solved, seems it was the PSU.

Since i didn't have a replacement PSU i bought a new SeaSonic X760 and ever since then it's gone. I will RMA my SeaSonic X750 for a replacement and see if i can sell the new unit :)

Thanks everyone who offered help and suggestions. It been a long couple of months and i'm glad it's finally solved.

I am happy to hear that you have finally managed to get to the bottom of the problem and you would be surprised how often the PSU is at the bottom of the troubles. I suppose that because yours was a good make and a decent wattage it kind of got discounted as the cause. Just goes to show that anything can be fauty.  :-\
