computer freezing 5-10 minutes after boot (psu? ) not so sure...
I recently builted a computer especially for gaming but i get the same trouble...it freezes and crash down 5-10 minutes after boot..

At first i tought it was my video card,tested it with few stress tests and tested the whole machine with pc check...no problems found...second clue...at work the computer didn't crash down (even after an hour and half...i only get this problem at home...

Anyone gets an idea?

Go through the linked checklists with a fine tooth comb. The really do cover mst common problems.

There is always clearing the CMOS, reflashing the BIOS, and doing a fresh install of the operating system. These are more of last resort type actions.

That should be it unless you have added another device.

Good Luck

For the answer we can elliminate the graphics...tried already both physical and logical removing, both with the latest drivers...second...if it was the memory i wouldn't even have a display would i? Plus i know.exactly the.post for the ram...it doesn't beep at all and i passed a.pc check at my work last monday...the ram passed it all...every component passed...the only thing left are a: power supply. And b:bios...as for integrated graphics i dont have any on my motherboard but still if ther is a feature on the bios for this ill go set it up...thing that is strange is this one...i only get this.problem at home...not in a shop which is kinda obligated to respect the actual electric norms...
