Symptoms: Randomly reboots sometimes, or sometimes just freezes up. Freezes up as in the screen is stuck as is and the mouse/keyboard doesnt work. I have to hit the reset button.


I assumed this was the power supply, that was the first thing I swapped out. Did not help. Next was a fresh install of win8 on a new samsung SSD. Same issues. (old win7 reboot would sometimes give me a BSOD. Not so i win8)

Next was that the CPU was getting too hot. So I ran prime95 and sure enough, pc would freeze/reboot within 20 minutes of running prime. I turned off the OC and was watching the temps and they never got above 60 before it rebooted.

So I've been running memtest for the last 6 hours and so far, no errors.

So my question is, what could be causing this?
 
I just did that before running memtest. Cleaned up all the dust too and added an extra fan on the heatsink.


Memtest finished with no errors.
