Detale

Well it's been a while guys but I'm having issues here. About a month ago my 1 year old daughter discovered the power button on my rig. Since then it's a constant battle with her. I've tried covering it but it would seem she is waay too smart for that.
On to my issues. I have had multiple restarts and BSOD's. At first I thought it was my OS, Win7 x64 so I tried a reinstall but it did nothing. I even tried a XP install figuring a basic os would at least show some stability but nothing :frusty: now I have vista 64 again as I haven't had time to install a new Win 7. Needless to say the OS isn't the problem.
What happens is after she forcefully shuts it down I restart and the rig loops on the bios startup screen over and over seemingly forever and my OC settings are set back to stock. At first I thought it to be the Ram but I ran Memtest for about 16 hours and it showed no errors at all. Now I believe it to be the Mobo but who the hell knows. The BSOD errors are different and I know I should write them down but I'm usually too pissed to think of it at the time. Is there someway I can access a log of BSOD's? I have seen people do this before but I haven't a clue how. One I can recall is "system service exception" but the details escape me.
Another problem I am having is my computer hangs sometimes and even has typing lag randomly. Winrar has lag as well while unraring files but only sometimes. These things happen very randomly sometimes it hangs sometimes it doesn't :idunno:
Another thing I think may be a possibility is that my PSU is going or can't handle all the stuff it powers. I have a water loop and 4 120mm fans as well as 2 92mm fans along with my other peripherals, I don't think this is the problem but it is possible. If anyone has any idea please help. Here are my HW specs
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041) OC'd to 3.2
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359)
EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130434)
G.SKILL 4GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145)x2 total of 8GB
SAMSUNG DVD Burner (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151154) x 2
CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002) but I don't think it's this new revision (2.2) as its prob 2-3 years old now.
The CPU, North bridge and Vid card are under water so temps aren't the problem but honestly I'm stumped here guys.
BTW I hope all of you are doing well as I haven't been around much. Still working like a beast 80+ hours a week. The money is great but I missed out on my summer with the kids like :(
