But that's the thing it happens at idle, and I've tried fixing it by unplugging+discharging and letting it sit unpowered in my colder-than-average room for 5 hours or so and it was still happening when I booted back up. So time or some other random thing seems to be a bigger difference.
When I had it not happen for days, doing anything that made the fans ramp up didn't cause it to happen (even full tilt as you said). In fact most of the time it'd start with nothing open other than the browser.
I thought it might've been dust (despite my PSU being the least dusty component) but after dusting it doesn't seem to have been the issue.
