I've seen overheating occur that randomly, but it's not too likely.
I've got one more thing to consider:the PSU. PSUs tend to supply less and less power as the capacitors age.
However unlikely it seems with the sudden poweroffs without BSOD I'd also consider a OS problem. I've also seen faulty RAM which memtest didn't discover.
Your setup seems like a beefed up version of mine with a smaller CPU. I'm running a X6 1090T, but with 4G RAM and a HD6850. I feel your money troubles.

hijacking this bit, since I'm pretty sure that my PSU is going. It's the only original part of this machine and hit has hit the 6 year mark, and post takes 5 min. Of course, I'm not 100% sure what the problem is, and it'd probably cost me about the same to just replace the PSU as it would to get someone with the tools to take a look at it.

One thing I've noticed is that the crashes seem to occur only in the first ~20 minutes after booting up for the first time. It'll crash a few times and then run fine for the rest of the day. Not sure what to make of that.

Who's fool enough to help an out-of-date half-Luddite knock the years of rust off to figure out component upgrades?
