I have a feeling either the cpu or the mobo is the problem. I am leaning towards the cpu being the problem because that is what I was working on when this problem started. Also, why won't it run at the overclocked settings it has been running at for over 2 years? Especially now with the cpu temps being so much lower.
This is a weird problem, but I don't think I've ever seen a CPU work part-time like this. it either works or it doesn't. I'm still leaning towards some intermittent electrical issue (short, whatever) - could be the mobo making the wrong contact with something or intermittently losing a connection.
