Default BSODs, and instant restart when plugging in headphones???

I built my own computer a few months ago, and have had a BSOD every few days for about 2 months.

The BSODs don't seem to be connected to anything in particular.

But what is really weird is how my computer will sometimes instantly restart when I plug in headphones or a USB device to my front I/O panel. Plugging in one set of headphones while the microphone jack from another set is a guaranteed restart, but my computer has also restarted from just one jack, and even from USB connectors.

And the odd thing is, the restarts happen the second the jack/USB comes into contact with the socket - before any data could possibly be transmitted or the computer could even begin to recognize a device - almost as if the problem is electrical in nature.

Avast anti-virus and malwarebytes find no problems with my computer at all. I've looked inside, and all the cables and connections appear to be in order. However, I can't see the front I/O panel from the inside, so something could be wrong there, and I'd never know it.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 ghz
4 gig of ram
Windows 7 64

Any idea as to what might be going on?

Thanks
