Intermittent faults can be difficult to locate.

First, check that ALL cables are connected properly (power, data, monitor). And ensure video card and DIMM's are seated properly.

Second, remove CPU and check CPU socket for damaged/missing pins, and check there is no damage to CPU pads. Re-seat CPU and CPU cooler carefully and evenly. Don't over tighten cooler mounting screws.

If problems continue, try swapping DIMM's with each other, and/or try different slots.
