I think (and hope) that just a little cooling down is necessary here. It is worthwhile to separate the issues that seem to have gotten entangled thus leading to a heated discussion.
Links to relevant research or external references are encouraged on StackExchange but they should always be put into context. Problem with a google-link are that it is a) not persistent - if you refer to "the second hit" today that might be something completely different from the second hit next week - and b) that it seems to contain lots of links that are completely unrelated to the Pi - thus off topic. My understanding is that Steve pointed out this problem in his first comment. Be aware that he is saying that the most of the links are off topic - not the question itself. He also provides some input on additional possible causes (power/heat issues) that could be reason for or contributing to the problem you describe. Those may or may not be worth investigating.
Again, key to helpful use of external URLs is to provide context to all your links. First and foremost all posts (Q's and A's) at StackExchange should stand on their own. External sources should provide additional information or backing up the claims you make. In my book that includes that you - the OP - pick the relevant links from the google search and make it clear to the reader of your question how they relate to your problem. Extract the relevant info of a viewfew selected links and boil it down to one or a few sentences.
Think of it that way, the way your question is written as of now you expect the reader to follow up on multiple external links to figure out what you might have tried. If you were to put that in the question in the first place it would reduce the guessing on the answerers side and thus potentially leading to more useful answers.
