Yeah, I'd run memtest using onboard graphics and see if it crashes or not. Maybe you already have I'm not sure.

If it locks up with all non-essential peripherals connected then it's probably a motherboard failure.


Is your motherboard almost ten years old?

Curious though the Samsung memory is DDR3 1333 and just 1x2GB, so it’s less demanding and thus OK? And the DDR3 1600 2x4GB is too much? I tried an over-volt up to 1.6 but it didn’t help FWIW.

Yes, it's possible the memory is the issue.

Or a combination of the memory and that motherboard.
