    Nominating a "good" brand these days is difficult. The country of manufacture dictates quality.
    Don't forget as components age,their efficiency declines and the nominated capacity has a sales hype addition.The "experts" calculate power consumption as quoted,plus 50%.
    Motherboards now have numerous usb ports,none of which have rated power consumption and all of them use power to varying degrees which should be considered.
    Hardware problems can be a proverbial pain---forgot to ask, don't forget the monitor and leads.

    Thought I'd update this.

    Having removed Kaspersky, changed the CMOS battery, I was still getting freezes, sometimes during BIOS, sometimes during OS loading, sometimes after 15-30 minutes running.

    On 10th July I removed and reinserted the memory DIMMs, swapped the matched pairs over, i.e. A&B from sockets 1&2 to sockets 3&4, C&D from sockets 3&4 to sockets 1&2.

    Nothing else OS or H/W changed.

    Since then it has all behaved impeccably. So I'm guessing it just needed the DIMM connections re-seating or "wiping" by remove and replace.

    Thank you for all your suggestions, it's all been most helpful.

    I'll mark it as solved.

    Pleased you sorted it.
    Good job by you
    Glad you did not go straight down the PSU route.
    I honestly did not see the ram indicated in the logs as to blame but the clue was here - my post 22
    I suspect a drive problem, or a connection problem etc to a drive

    - it was not the drive that was the problem, as you now know it was the ram

    Well done

    Yep, I was a bit slow recognising that the RAM could create the paging fault reported rather than the drive.
