Well, I'm not sure if it only happens with the surge protector because I plugged it back into the same one after cycling it off and on. Guess a simple thing to do would be plug the CPU into the wall socket and see if that makes a difference...

I kindof doubt the heatsink issue, the heatsink was installed once at the original building and hasn't moved since. The CPU has not been dropped or jostled so I can't really see how it would loosen.

RAM is certainly a possibility. I did buy good quality RAM when I built it, but RAM can always fail.

Maybe I will try plugging it into the wall socket first and see what happens, maybe it is something with the surge protector...
