My pc has worked great and all of a sudden it has randomly started crashing any where from 10 mins- several hours of gaming. Usually there will be a weird noise for a few seconds then theres no signal from the monitor, but pc is still on in hibernate or sleep it seams. But i cant do anything to get back into game or even turn the pc off...i have to flip the switch in back. Sometimes there will be sound from the game, but usually not. My gpu idles at 44c and during gaming is no higher then 55c, my cpu is mid 40c, motherboard is 40c and ram passes the "touch test". I have also just cleaned the whole thing out from dust. I even used my room fan to help keep it cool. so i believe overheating is not the issue. I honestly dont know what else to try. i have the latest drivers for my nvidia gtx 260. I also have a 1,000 watt power supply so it isnt underpowered. Other specs are 6 g of ram and an amd quad core. Please help in pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

Right away I think power supply. Although you have 1000w it may be poor quality or just failing you. Do you have a power supply known to work you could put in there and see if it still crashes. That would help narrow it down
I was thinking it could possibly be power supply failure as well. I dled speedy fan to check the voltages. whats confusing to me is that there are 3 different reading for 3.33v. The first one reads 0.00v. the second is 3.24v and the 3rd is 3.33v. I dont know if thats a problem or not.....

Two thoughts, first I presume you've done a full antivirus scan with an uptodate antivirus prog - and also an antimalware with something like Malwarebytes
Second - have you tried using a different plugboard/powerstrip and/or moving your PC to a different power socket?
If you don't have surge protection on your powerstrip I recommend you get one that has surge protection
