I'm sure you tried this but just in case...and I'm just taking a stab at this...
If you are hitting the case power button to shut the system down your power button options may have changed (possibly in bios) so that hitting it is causeing some kind of standby or sleep mode instead of powering off.

Things to try:

1) make sure the profile in your BIOS is set to "XMP" if available (this forces optimized memory/CPU settings.)

2) run MEMTEST ( www.memtest.org ) for at least two minutes (and for two hours later after problem solved)

If memory is fine after doing BOTH of the above:
1) reflash the SAME BIOS, then if that fails
2) flash the PREVIOUS BIOS in the list

*Update this post after the above and we'll take it from there.
