I have been monitoring the temperatures using Speccy, all very reasonable (CPU 30-35C, Mobo 28-35C)

How can I check what is causing this problem? Does it report the error codes somewhere that caused the shut down?

The CPU fan has been having a problem where every 10 minutes it spins up to full rev for 2 seconds and goes back down. I suspect this is related.

I think you need to follow medico and my advice especially about the memory, because some motherboards like it when there are matched pairs and not one stick and replace the cooling gel
