    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).
