Nope, I haven't tested the memory one module at a time yet (I did run memtest+ for over 18 hours with both sticks still in place quite a few weeks ago). I still plan to test one stick of memory at a time, as well as swap this video card with an old GT220 from my old desktop so I can rule out the graphics card and memory as much as possible once and for all.
You said that an overheating graphics card would impact the performance of the computer, but what about a hardware issue with the CPU or RAM (or a non-heat related video card issue), would that noticeably impact performance as well (at least in most cases)? If so, as I said before there are no discernible performance issues, aside from the machine up and crashing at seemingly random times performing random tasks.
I know you can't possibly know anything for certain about the origins of the issues I'm having, but I'm just hoping you can speak from experience as you have already. That's all one can really hope for with these cryptic computation boxes, just for the best and most informed guess .
