If it was CPU temperature, you can expect problems turning up all over the place and crashes in memtest86. Therefore it sounds like it is the motherboard chipset, the memory, or a BIOS setting controlling the behaviour of the chipset or the memory. Examine your BIOS carefully for settings relating to memory voltage, drive strength on IOs to the memory, and memory cycle timing, and runs some trials on memtest86 with different settings. Usually higher voltage and slower timings will get better results (but with higher voltage comes more heat... be cautious if you have this setting). -Andy
