help with computer crashing.

right, my computer is used a lot. on all the time and i play games on it too. after a while of playing a game it freezes completely and i have to restart the computer. also a really loud noice always comes from the base unit. which im assuming is the fans working overtime. ive been told it could be my computer over heating. how can i cool it so it keeps running?

Your processor may overheat. Is this problem since you first got the pc or recently appeared?

If it is since you first got the pc:
The problem is the cooling system. Try to get a more powerful cooler.

If it recently appeared:
The problem is still the cooling system. You can fix it yourself cleaning inside the case of dust, especially the processor.

brilliant thanks. its only started about the past few months when i play quite high powered games. ill try cleaning it. although is there any diagrams and that which will help me know what im meant to clean as ive never been inside my pc lol

the processor is under the cooler.

Practically, clean everything you can inside the box.
