If it is fans, it would have to be slow starting, since the failures have
always been on starting from a cold machine.  That should be easy to
check.  Cabling:  Everything is inside the case, so there should be only a
few to wiggle and plug/unplug.  Then the test will be waiting for a
failure.  The absence of an immediate failure does not mean a fix.

What about the power supply?  I replaced it Sept 2014 (Antec EA380D).

Could the MB or processor be the issue?  Flaky capacitor somewhere?
Impossible to find if so.
