failing motherboard?

I been getting the blue screen of death recently..event 41 kernel-power, I have updated the drivers with no success, I have re installed window's 7 still it happens... I have taken out RAM and booted up with one at a time yet it still happens.. I have also disconnected the DVD drive yet it still get the same issues...

I have taken out the graphics card and just used on the board graphics yet the crash still happens...

the CPU isn;t over heating as I did a stress test on prime95 and only got to 53'c I have also did a Ram test which they pass..

The motherboard is about 8 years old.. I am using a intel core duo 2 E7300 2.6ghz with an old MSI lga board...

Could it be the actual motherboard failing?

    You have pretty well eliminated everything apart from the CPU/motherboard/PSU. Motherboards for the Pentium E7300 will be hard to find so you may end up having to get a new motherboard/RAM/CPU bundle

    IMHO I would take out one off your memory chips and only use one off the ram sticks and the try only the other oner on itself and see if that fixes it, if not then contact me with my links , click on my name or contact me on Google plus thanks .

    The last thing need to try is swap out the hdd and install the os on that, a older hdd that works if still crashing the mobo chipset are defective replace the mobo i really think 8 years is good usage out of that mobo
