I build my pc in October and it has been running find 3570k w/ intel 4000 graphics no video card and a MSI g45 motherboard using Samsung 40nm ram

My 3570k is oc'ed at 4.2hz ram 9-9-9-24 @1866

About 2 days ago my system has started to just freeze after about 40minutes of use and I cant do anything I have to restart pc and then it's fine for another half-hourish.

I'm thinking its my mobo failing but just wanted some input from you guess this is my first system that I have ever built.


This is my mobo

CPU 30c when idle and gaming around 38-42c

I don't have a GPU currently using stock Intel HD graphics.

I talked to a local pc repair person and he said it could possibly be that my psu is failing are there any diagnosis test I can run?

Update*

I have updated every driver I can think of. Still havn't tried flashing bios to newest version but I have kinda narrowed it down and really thinking it is my psu that is causing the lockups I had my case side off for about 2 months to lower temps and I looked inside my psu and it was very dusty I think that caused my psu to start failing. Would it be safe to air dust out the PSU and see if that fixes the problem?
