No I have not, sounds like that is my next step, although I don't think I
have the equipment to check if the PSU is operating to spec, I can visually

resolved as I am losing memory modules at an unpleasant rate.
Thanks

Is it really possible for the CPU to do this?
Bad voltage supplies or current surges can damage any parts. Have you
checked that the PSU is operating within specification? Have you checked
for signs of aging capacitors?
