Hey all,
I've had my trusty 2500k running at 4.5ghz stable at a safe voltage for roughly 5 years. Recently, I have started to get hard crashes sporadically; no BSOD, locks up and restarts, sometimes takes a few boots to get back to BIOS and to Windows. System setup:

I've had my trusty 2500k running at 4.5ghz stable at a safe voltage for roughly 5 years. Recently, I have started to get hard crashes sporadically; no BSOD, locks up and restarts, sometimes takes a few boots to get back to BIOS and to Windows. System setup:
- Gigabyte z77x-ud5h (seven years old)
- 16gb (4x4gb) Corsair XMS, all matching (one pair at seven years old, second pair maybe four years old)
- Seasonic x650 (three years old)
- GTX960 (three years old)
- reinstalling windows 10, twice
- ran memtest on ram, passed a four hour test
- flashing new bios firmware
- cleaned case, no heat issues, all case fans run
- ran prime95 for a few hours with no errors
Any help is greatly appreciated, I am struggling with this one.
