My computer recently started freezing and crashing. Whenever it freezes it starts to run really hard and then continuously tries to restart until i unplug it.. I am fairly new to all of this any idea as to what it could be ? Thank you!
 
Solution
1) check that cpu/gpu fans are spinning and cooling fins are clear of dust.
2) look for bulging capacitors on the motherboard.
3) check the hard drive by downloading hddscan and looking for bad sectors
4) download bluescreenview and check what the blue screen of death errors are write them down and post them.
5) download memtest86 and test your ram.
