Recently I have been having problems with my machine completely

seemingly randomly. The display freezes in its current frame, and all I/O is
completely unresponsive. It is not possible to SSH into it at this stage
(ssh fails with a Host Unreachable error). The only remedy is a manual
reset.
I was wondering how I could go about trying to figure out what is going on?
What log files can I look at to figure out what happened just before the
reset etc? Would be grateful for any help.
My specs are the following:
Fedora 17 standard desktop version, completely updated as of June 17, 2012.
i7-3930K clocked at 4.2Ghz with 1.240 vcore (stable)
Gigabyte X79-UD7
Nvidia GTX285 (main suspect, since it is provably broken. However, I have
not had these problems earlier)
SATA HDD from Seagate.

Power supply issues?
Beyond that, I'd configure lm_sensors ($ sensors-detect) and
periodically log the output of $ sensors into a log file.
