When you reinstalled Windows did you go to Widows Update and get all the
latests patches?

If you did it might be that one of those cause the problem, you could
try reloading it again and then trying the machine out before updating
Windows.

Have you checked the MB manufactures website to see if there were any
updated drivers (especially PCI bus drivers)for the motherboard?

SOMETHING happened to make a well behaved machine started doing this,
and Windows updating itself is an obvious culprit.

Well, right there you just narrowed it down, its either a hardware issue or a driver
