I got a new motherboard (Asus P8H77-V LE), new CPU (Core i3 2160), new<br>
graphics card (Asus ENGT430) and new RAM.<br>
I reused the case, harddrive and tuner cards (Dvico ATSC) from my existing<br>
system. I didn't reinstall, I just reconfigured the existing install for the<br>
new network, audio and video devices.<br>

So same drive?<br>

As a wild stab in the dark, did you keep the PSU? Maybe it's just a few Watts short now to drive things properly.<br>
<br>
I only mention it as I suffered a few years ago when I added a couple of fans to my system and it pushed it over the edge. I didn't suffer what you're seeing, but the system started randomly locking up, sometimes after a while, sometimes during boot. I think I had a 350W one, and bought a 500W.<br>
<br>
I got a meatier PSU and it was all sorted. It's not necessarily a cheap what-if, though.<br>
<br>
Of course, it may not have been the Wattage that counted, it might have just been on its way out!</blockquote><div><br></div><div>So far it looks like updating the BIOS to the latest from ASUS' website fixed the problem.</div>
<div>I did have a similar PSU problem to what you describe once. Ended up getting a SeaSonic PSU at the recommendation of a coworker, replacing the Antec one that came with the case. Haven't had any problems since.</div>
