Do you guys know why this might be happening to me?
I have a e6400 badaxe2 nvdia8800gts320mb and partiod ram. This problem is driving me insane.

At any moment my monitor is going to flick off and the computer will become 100 percent unresponsive. Sometimes whatever sound is playing will begin to loop endlessly. This only started happening about 2 days ago. This has been a rock solid computer for the last 6 months.

Is there a new virus doing this to people or something?

by flick off I mean the monotor will be getting no signal. The power button will begin to flash as if the computer is off, but it is not off, It just crashes like that now all of a sudden!

Can someone help me?
Now some new things are happening. It posts, the monitor comes on just in tome for me to see the intel post screen, then the monitor flicks off again. I can't even get it to boot now.....

Could there be dust inside my system doing this?

I'd start by trying another PSU

Interesting you should say that. I had my suspicions.

Update:
I opened up the computer and it is pristine inside... No dust. Zero. Looks like the day I installed it all.

I am going to buy another PSU tomorrow maybe and try it out.

Try to buy it somewhere that doesn't have a restocking fee so you can take it back if it's not the PSU.
