Weird BSOD's

Built a pc about a year ago, worked fine.
A few months later random bsod's occurred at startup,
bought new RAM, problem didn't go away.

Took everything apart and put back together,
problem solved :)....why though?

Worked fine again for another 3 months, then again, more random bsod's, i knew the drill so again i disconnected the main components and reconnected them, inc Cpu, with arctic silver 5.

This time the "fix" has only lasted 5-6week, what on earth could be the problem?

I dont think its software based, so il give you some extra detail on the physical side of things;

The case is an iCube so it is quite small, and everything is jampacked into it,
the PSU blows out very warm air
watercooling keeps cpu at correct temp
not sure about the temp of other things?
a few pins on the cpu were bent very slightly, but i bent them back, the fitting was a little "unalligned" on 1st install, but now it just slides right in, (ive done it enough times)
ive noticed a slight tackyness to the back of the mobo and graphics card, and what appears to be some kind of residue?, barely noticeable, only on close inspection can you see it.

Thanks for reading, you help will be greatly appreciated.
