[WIN7] System freezes as soon as I move the mouse

Win7 Home Premium 32bit
For some time I have been having video issues - NVidia display driver stopped working or the system would simply BSOD (various stop codes including 0x00000124 and 0x00000101) when watching videos on Youtube etc. and strangely enough it would normally reboot or BSOD when I tried to download any file (using FF, Chrome, or IE)
Newest Nvidia drivers are installed.
Finally did a clean install of Windows.
Started having issues immediately, especially when downloading.
That was a week ago. It's been off and on issues since then.
This morning however when I boot up it's all fine until I move my mouse. Within 1 second of moving my mouse the system locks up.
I have tried a new mouse, new keyboard and have also removed my video card and ran off the internal video card (which also happens to be an nvidia chipset).
If I boot into Safe mode with networking as I am now everything runs just fine.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

The only two things I can think of is MB bios have you tried resetting it?? Have you checked your HD for bad sectors?? If you are doing a clean install and it still happens then I would think Hardware.

Is the box being properly cooled? An overheating CPU can cause this behavior.

Ran chkdsk. No issues found. Box is being cooled, temps are okay.
Right now I've been up and running in safe mode for 2 1/2 hours without issue.
Nothing unusual in my startup.
No bad caps on the mobo (first thing I checked).
This mobo is only a couple years old. Replaced the original with an Asus N68C-S UCC.
I was almost sure it was video related and still may be.

Well, 10 minutes after I posted that it's running in safe mode fine the system locked up. Had to hard boot. Getting frustrating. Could be video or mobo or power supply etc. etc.

Reply suspected bad parts one at a time and test results to eliminate all but the likely culprit.

Run the built in Windows memory test. If that doesn't find anything wrong, go into safe mode and set it up for selective startup. I have seen a messed up google update component do this to systems.
