Hey there
The problem is that around 60 minutes (I have timed it) the PC will freeze while playing a game or just idling. The mouse will be unlocked but applications will freeze entirely. After a few moments the PC (Win 8) will flash a blue screen and then immediately reset. After rebooting, the operating system fails to boot (boot disk failure.
I have already:
PC specs from CPUID:
BIOS version is F9.
What else do you geniuses need to know? What needs replacing? How do I fix this beast?
Thanks for the help!

I have already:
Upgraded from Win 7 (where the problem began) to Win 8 (problem persists)
Tried going Hackintosh (and the problem persists in OSX)
Replaced the Hard Drive with SSD,
Replaced PSU with 750W
Reapplied the Artic Silver on the CPU.
Ran Memtest for 5+ hours. (interesting that it did not crash while running memtest!)
Switched out the graphics card and problem persists
PC specs from CPUID:
CPU temperature ranges from 35 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius depending on the load.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (Socket 775)
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
2GB DDR2
AMD Radeon HD 6900
BIOS version is F9.
