So we can rule out memory - other (presumably good) memory still gives problems.

Ok, this is a strange one. Starting from cold, you get a problem, so we can rule out heat. Usually it's the other way around (cold = fine, restart = problem).


I'm thinking the power is the issue.
Games will take more power to the graphics card. Can you see if you can try a bigger wattage PSU? Howevr, at the end of the day it could be the mainboard that is causing the problem. If it is damaged...
