Don't even know where to start with this one but I'll try

Sometimes when I try to turn my PC on, it won't respond, pressing on the power button and nothing will happen. I'll turn it off at the wall, at the back of the PSU, and do various combinations of this until suddenly it'll boot as normal.

Ontop of the above, it will occasionally fail to boot, and then keep restarting itself every 5 seconds until the BIOS is reset. Usually it works fine at this point.

When in windows, overclocked or not, after long periods it will suffer black screen lockups, and the nvidia display driver will stop responding. This will increase in frequency until it locks up completely and I have to restart.

I've replaced the PSU - I've dismanted it and rebuilt it, I've tested the RAM individually, and I've tested the graphics card in another computer.

I'm out of ideas at this point, anyone else have any? If not then there's a free PC going flying out of my window soon if anyone wants it.
 
Tried a new BIOS battery too :s

It doesnt happen all the time, which makes RMA'ing the motherboard cumbersome. I took the motherboard down to the etailer it was purchased at when I dismanted it - but to my dismay it worked flawlessly in their bench system.

Definitely not a temp issue too, graphics cards at stock and everythings in order there :(
