Update: Yesterday, I decided to remove all the parts out of the computer case and set it up on a cardboard box on a table. With the motherboard, video card, CPU and RAM out of the case, the computer has NOT restarted in around 16 hours. It also seems to run a little better/faster, though there's...

Is there an easy way to test the motherboard and RAM? I tested the machine with only one stick in (I have two 8 gb sticks) and the results were the same. Just seems like it's prone to restart.
