Okay this is now past the point of being frustrating. Worked fine for
a few days and then acted up again.

After carefully checking the power supply, it appear to be good. Since
I had one, I replaced it anyway along with the case fan. Power up and
had the same problem (frozen system).

Removed the video card and turned on the on board video. Work for a
few minutes and then the system rebooted. Tried again and the system
blessed me with the blue screen of death. I did manage to run a simple
memiry check (Checkit Diagonistics) and had no errors.

CPU temps appear normal. CPU fan is running. Power supply is new.
Video card is removed. Memory passed simple check.

Not sure what to check next. my remaining guesses are drivers or
motherboard.

Any other ideas?
Like Paul commented earlier, did you check for any leaking or bulged
capacitors on the motherboard.
