Here is my problem:
My computer randomly freezes, this can be anywhere from after being on for 5 minutes to 5 weeks... but when it happens it won't start back up until its been left off for at least 1 to 5 minutes. It will turn on mind you, it just won't get past the motherboard posting screen (where it has the motherboard logo and all that good junk).
What I think:
It sounds to me like something on the motherboard is heating up and then a connection is coming loose from the expansion of the metals due to heat but not sure.
What I'd like:
Suggestions on what to try to do to trouble shoot it, if I can figure out what is wrong I have no problem replacing a part.
