Keep saying it can happen before Windows loads.

Memtest boots and runs before Windows. Event logs are a different kettle of fish though, if you can't get into Windows then it's a little more difficult to get at them unless you have a second system.

FWIW, I suspect the CPU/socket or a thermal issue but that's all moot now anyway, the system is working.

You use the system for work don't you? IMHO you would have been far better off replacing the motherboard and CPU for the time you have spent on it and relegating the components to a less important use. You currently have a system that could fall over at any time with no warning and you can't be sure you have fixed it.
