I read ages ago about the death from static discharge being slow and not instant, perhaps this is what it looks like.
I find it very very strange as any 'errors' created in a cpu I would have expected to crash the system very quickly, and not build up into more and more frequent and crashes.
You said that your temps were ok, what were you measuring it with (TAT is best) (I assume you are aware of all the problems with measuring temps when C2D's first hit the market)
Yes it does look like your CPU is a problem, BUT and this is a big BUT, the cpu is in all but a very few tests going to be reliant on external components to function properly. Your memory looks low, this may be dependent on the CPU to a small degree.
HDD's look good and virus is probably ruled out, and generic HDD failure is also ruled out as the format should have either spotted the bad sectors and warned you, or it should have accounted for them, so you should have started from scratch.
Its getting late over here so thats all from me, and I'm out of ideas other than over heating, but you seem to know a bit of what you are talking about so if you used something decent to measure load temps....
Another thought, have you looked around the CPU socket on the mobo to see if any of the capacitors or other components are discoloured or showing signs of damage?
