My PC is consistently crashing to off every 30 minutes, it then takes an hour before it will start again. The crashing seems independent of system load, it will crash idling as well as playing a graphic intensive game. After it has crashed I have to reset the on/off switch in back, turning it off for 10 seconds then turning it back on, then I wait for awhile (an hour), and then it will turn back on.
At first no time delay was needed, only flip the switch in back off and back on, also the crashes were much less frequent.
I tried swapping out the graphics card for one that worked, but that did not fix the problem. I downloaded Coretemp. It says my cores are all about 40 Celsius. I downloaded Speedfan and it does show something it calls Temp 2 60 C. I don't know what Temp 2 refers to, but it has a fire symbol next to it, and seems to always be creeping up in temperature.
I've dusted the inside, and made sure everything was connected. The newest editions were the RAM and the GPU about a month ago, the system had been working just fine before this. Thanks so much for your help.
