Help: JogAmp Windows Test Box freezes quite regularly lately

Win7 Box:
  - AMD64, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GTX 460, PSU Toughpower XT 675 W
  - Attached to a KVM switch (USB/DVI)
  - Regularly updated

Tested w/ Linux (sysrescue 3.1.1):
  memtest+ OK (40 min)
  burncpu OK (10 min)
  smartctlr -a /dev/sda: OK

Windows NV driver:
  - Moved from latest 310.* driver back to 296.*
  - Uninstalled the HD Audio driver (part of the NV driver suit)
  - Only installed the graphics driver part

Freeze happens:
  - mostly when IDLE, even though it also froze while one virus scanner was busy
  - no BSOD (blue screen of death) or windows/minidump

Since the box ran well on Linux and Memtest for around 1 hour
w/ stress testing and the Windows crash happens earlier,
I assume the hardware is OK

What do to ?
  - After next freeze: Run in safe mode for a while to check whether drivers are corrupt ?

Are there any diagnostic tools ?
  - Windows Kernel logs ?
  - Last kernel log ?
  - .. ?

Any help / ideas appreciated.
