Hi all. I am having trouble with my win 7 desktop. Here are the symptoms (keep in mind that no BSOD's happened, just hard crashes). Booted up today for the first time in a month and crashed after login while it was loading startup items. Tried again same results. Tried booting start-up repair and crashed during repair. Then tried booting normally again and couldn't even make it past login (the up-time got shorter). Tried to load miniXP from my Hiren boot usb and crashed after it logged in.
From these symptoms I have concluded that I either need to replace my Corsair Hydro Cooler thingy and the thermal paste (that keeps my CPU cool) or I need to buy a new power supply?
Any advice (and/or ways to check my ideas to make sure I don't have to spend money)?
THANKS!
