Have any of you ever heard of any system monitoring software, that can run in the background that will possible explain where these random reboots are coming from?

I keep getting them, during gaming, and now while browsing the internet. System event log is of no help. I have gotten to the point where I formatted and did a system refresh from scratch, and yet I still get the reboots. I am in IT, so you can imagine I have exhausted pretty much everything at my disposal except for changing hardware out. I have pulled RAM, moved it around, and it was no help. I even pulled the video card, but I can't run games with the on board VGA, so that didn't help.

Yep, mobo or power supply. Could also be something overheating (mobo vrms, CPU, PSU caps, etc.) or a loose connection. Just keep swapping parts until you find the culprit.

Power supply is what I keep coming back to. I guess I need to order another.

You will need to review the dump files. They're pretty convoluted but will usually give you a strong hint at the issue. I had something similar happen to me after I built one. I upgraded the HD controller driver and never had it happen again.
