I began having this problem a few weeks ago; occasionally my computer will shut itself off (usually when I'm working it hard doing something like playing a game, but not always) and refuse to turn back on for a minute or two. Unplugging and replugging the computer and flipping the PSU switch on and off doesn't seem to help, but I notice this hiss/click sound right before I'm able to turn my computer on again.
Originally I thought this was a PSU issue, but I've noticed that my AMD 6300 heats up very quickly when I watch it under Speccy (I'm told it turns itself off at 62 Celsius, when playing a game it hangs around high 40s - mid 50s). I'm not overclocking but I live in Texas and the temperature in my room in the summer is around 85 Fahrenheit. I'm using the stock HSF and it seems to be running fine, the airflow out of the computer isn't obstructed by anything. At the moment I'm trying to overheat my computer to know for sure that the problem is the CPU, but I thought I'd ask you guys what you thought.
