Occasional Random Restarts in FSX

Every once in a while my computer will randomly reboot when I'm using FSX. This is occasionally paired with an unusual problem preceding the restart, such as my joystick's PTT key failing, while the keyboard PTT key works fine. I've disabled automatic restarts in the event of BSODS/kernel panics/failures, so it doesn't appear to be a software issue.

 

Any ideas?

I did check that. Heat is not a factor at all, maxing out at 40 C(processor max is 70 C)

Could check:-

Display drivers

&

Memory - how is this arranged ? 3 x 2Gb sticks or 2 x 3Gb sticks ?

Could remove one of them one at at time, and see if the problem persists ?
