For what it's worth, I had an Asus A7N8X die on me with almost identical 
symptoms earlier this year. Also while it was still under warranty.

You've already done more diagnostics than I did before having it replaced, so 
I can't suggest anything else.

The only other symptom I noticed (which may or may not have been related) was 
that the computer's clock had been running slow (losing 5-10 mins/day) in the 
months leading up to the failure.

I did do some research at the time... didn't find anything to suggest it was a 
common problem. I hope it isn't, although hearing of another similar case has 
me worried now.


Sorry I can't be more help. All I can suggest for now is to send it back.


All the best,


   Simon C.
