during usual use ... its working fine...

When I write a dvd@16x it hangs up (2x times ive done ..both the time it froze)..@12x and @8x its working fine.

Random hangs in farcry.
See sig for config. Using Corsair 450w power supply.

The 1st thing came to my mind was that power supply is not enough..so i disconnected one of IDE's. Well.. I was able to run farcry for like 2hrs (prior..it took like 20-30min for freeze)..and I thought ah.. its working fine.. suddenly it froze. *sigh*.

Also I am using a 1 year old 400watt microtek ups.....

any ideas where the fault may lie..

P5N-E-SLI is pretty picky on RAM's.

Updating your motherboard bios and a reinstall of drivers may help.

@kalesh: when you say system freezes, does the image remain stuck and visible or does the screen go blank? i have also gotten blank screen requiring reboot, once with 3dmark05 test and the other time when i raised the GPU clock a little and ran 3dmark06... maybe you should try reducing the GPU clocks a bit... that too not in the GamerHUD (scam tool) but in something like rivatuner...
