It's been a month, or so, since I last responded to this cry for help, and I've not heard another word from the OP, as to whether the problem was found and fixed, or not. ???
Please!
Happy Holidays

TJ said, "I also had this problem, swapped both rams and it fixed the issue, just goes to prove it can be anything."
You said "swapped both rams". Does that mean that you replaced them with NEW Ram?
In the past, I've repaired a lot of problems involving Sticks of RAM. But the only ones I've tossed in the trash were labeled "Kingston" or "S" (we call that Superman ram).
The rest, I've just washed with soap and water, rinsed with Denatured Alcohol, dried thoroughly and reseated in the motherboard. I also polish up the edge connector to remove any dirt or corrosion.
Today, very few sticks of RAM actually fail, but if they get dirty, they can short out. All too often, dirty ram is removed and thrown away, where all it really needed was a good washing. Just a thought!
Happy Holidays!
