JLuchinski Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2012 #3 I had similar issues a while ago and it was my PSU. What make/model is yours? Has it froze to the point where you had to do a hard restart? Check your voltages in the BIOS, that will give you an accurate reading.

G80FTW Active Member Jul 27, 2012 #5 Id still recommend running a program like this first: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/Orthos-Prime.shtml A stability test will help determine if it is a software problem or a hardware problem. If you fail a stability test, then its a hardware problem.
