It's gonna be either ram or cpu probably.

Or board I guess.... I've seen over-clamped cooling systems do poo poo like this, literally bends the board so much it warps micrometer sized trace lengths. I've seen bad ram controller in cpus, RAM like I already said it'd be....

You started with the easiest thing. Now get to work. Ram first.

Pull all ram. Put one stick in and use the pc like normal. Report back! Underclock cpu, undervolt, disable c-states... Try a new power supply... a repair shop? .. Call me?
