I doubt the cooler is the issue.
Your cpu is a relatively cool running processor.
The 10 second delay suggests a heat issue.
Usually failures are immediate.
I assume you can't get into the bios.
Can you test with just a single ram stick?
Long time ago, I had a similar failure when it took windows some time to address the particular spot in ram that was bad.
Test ram with memtest86+ when you can.
You should get NO errors for a full pass.

Is this a new build, or did this once work and no longer does?
You might get this kind of problem if you damaged a cpu socket pin during install.
Remove the cpu and look carefully to see if there are any pins in the socket out of alignment.
This kind of damage is easy to cause if you smoosh the cpu around in the socket instead of dropping it straight in.

I have a cheap voltmeter to test all my batteries for flashlights, garage door openers etc.
The usual motherboard battery is a 3v cr2032 which you should be able to buy anywhere.
Removing the battery and replacing it just resets all of the bios to default.
If you need something else to run, a bad battery will not old the changes.
Just a shot in the dark.
