Since June, I've been getting random crashes, the cursor freezes up and I have to hold down the power button to restart, after a restart there's no issue. These occur once per day every 12 days or so.

3 weeks ago I ran and passed memtest86. Did a Prime95 blend test for couple of hours temps got to max 80c. After another crash this morning (system auto restarted) I decided to run Prime95 with small fft, it crashed within 6 minutes temps were about 65c. System crashed again on restart. I gave the case a clean, since then its been stable for the past 30 minutes.

Not doing anything resource intensive during the crashes just web browsing.

3 Year old System Spec (ran overclocked for first year):
Win7 64 bit
Intel Core i7 950 3.06G
GBYTE GA-X58A UD3R
500W Emax Pro87+
Megahalems Intel 1366
64GB SSD CRUCIAL C300
1TB SAMSUNG F3
1GB Palit GT430
Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600

Correct, I reset the bios a couple of years ago.
