I have a strange problem with my PC. It's an Alienware

It started about a month ago. If the PC has been off for sometime (a few hours) I then turn on the PC and no matter what i am doing after 5-7mins it flashes a BSOD and then reboots, then it's ok for the rest of the night!

Since then i have reformatted my PC and built it from scrach again, no joy

Tried different video drivers, even older ones going back a few months, no joy

Changed the SSD, no joy

Ran Memtest86+ for 8 hours, no errors, then the BSOD didn't happen for a couple of days then it came back, so no joy.

Not sure what to do, i'm think of re-seatting my ram but seeing memtest86+ said the ram is ok.

Any ideas?
 
Oh, to close the story i ended up reseating the ram, even swapping the stick to different slots and this resolved the issue.
