Last April I built a new system and ever since I've been having weird issues, which I've not been able to get to the bottom of. I suspect it maybe bad RAM, however have just "got on" with things and never really fixed it, however it's now really beginning to annoy me.
Issue 1) PC doesn't POST / boot Windows 10.
If I leave my PC for a while (usually overnight) it will often fail to POST. I'll press the power button, the case lights up, the fans spin, the water cooler pumps and the monitor wakes (but displays the no input message), however nothing actually happens.
I then have to reach around the back of the PC and flick off the power supplies on/off switch. I can then turn it back on and it WILL boot.
This doesn't happen all of the time, probably 50% and if it happens once it'll probably happen the next 3 / 4 times when booting.
ISSUE 2) PC bluescreens
The PC will randomly bluescreen with the error "Your system has run in to a problem" and then restarts. This has been happening more recently - 6 times this month - and I suspect it maybe related.
The error log say's it's an Event 41,
I'm unsure if the issue is RAM, a bad PSU, bad motherboard or CPU? I can't really find the issue.
My thoughts are
I've tried disabling hibernation and fast-boot as I've read that these can cause boot issues, but that hasn't helped.
My build is as per below:

My thoughts are
■ bad RAM would explain the random blue screens - Would this prevent POST?
■ bad PSU could prevent boot - would this lead to random bluescreens? or would it just cut power and turn off?
■ bad MB / CPU. I'm not too sure on CPU's and MB's
■ BAD GPU - Could the GPU not be initiallized on boot, hence everything lighting up but no display?
