Even though you've done a virus scan doesn't rule out that it could still possibly be a virus. It could also be a hardware/heat issue or just a good ole windows application probably. If possible to re-image the machine I would start with that. If that doesn't help then you can bet its hardware related or vent issue.

hummm i leave my pc on alot and its can crash when i havent tuched it for like 4 hours... is there any prgrams that could log like the heat or what was happenin b4 the crash or wot liek tat or is it just guess work
Can you provide the mobo model and maker
yes very much; as i pointed earlier, now my doubt becomes stronger that it could be a heat issue since you have said you dont touch it for 4 hours and it crashes. check up your fan and the temperature of the cpu from bios .

That's an Asus, try memtest to make sure there is nothing in memory
Steps are:
1) Run Orthos thing. Both "stress CPU" and "stress RAM" modes. This should cause crash earlier.
2) Check PSU voltages while Orthos is running. Probably it is dying.
3) Check CPU temperature under Orthos load (RealTemp can show it if it is Core2Duo processor).
4) Try to put 0.05-0.1v extra voltage to processor and see if it is more relable.
5) Try to reduce FSP frequency by 20-50Mhz, increase memory timings in BIOS.
6) Try FurMark for videocard testing. Settings are MSAA=0x, 1280x1024

a very wild check if the problem is not software related would be to make sure the cpu is not getting excessivley heated up due to fan failure.
