I've already replaced the HDD twice, so I'm ruling that out of the equation. Could it be the motherboard thats at fault or is it likely to be the CPU?

I built this machine myself and has been running for a few years with no problems whatsoever, but now it runs for a few weeks then refuses to boot until I follow the procedure I've listed above, I've even did a full format and reinstal as well.
