Hey Ularg. Over the past week I've been having the exact same symptoms that you described in your OP. I tried all the diagnostic tests that people mentioned here but the solution in my case (pardon the pun) was simply that my CPU thermal paste needing replacing and heatsink was full of dust. Given that you've got a fairly new rig, it would be surprising that your CPU thermal paste would already be shot but it'd be worth a look if you haven't found a solution already. I cleaned out all the CPU heatsink dust while I was at it.

Edit: just realised your PC passed all the Prime95 tests, please disregard my post.
