Hello, new user, hopefully this will be in the correct forum.
I did my first home build around 2 years ago and everything has been running very smoothly until recently. It seems that about 2 times a day my computer will randomly shut down. And starting today the computer will just crash, no blue screen or anything, just stop function and not allow me to do anything, the only fix is to power off via power button.
I have tried cleaning out inside of all dust, but other than that mostly a tech novice.
Things I do know:
I checked my temp; CPU is @ 34 degrees C and MB is @ 32 degrees C so i do not assume it to be a heat problem.
I bought all my components from newegg:
