I have reacently experienced problems probably caused by too much time spend in front of the computer.
The original problem was that my computer suddenly would turn off the screen or the entire graphics card. Then I could fix it by letting the computer stay frozen for about 5 minutes, and then restarting it. If that didn't work I would keep restarting it every 5 mins until it did.
Now recently I connected two eksternal hardrives through the USB ports. That seemed to over overload the USB controllers and thereby causing it to freeze. Then I plugged the harddrives out and restarted, but it kept freezing whenever it reached the desktop. I then deactiveted the remaining USB controllers exept the one used by my mouse. It then returned to the original self with the need to restart every 5 minutes.
(I have a hunch that the long hours my computer has been active might have dryed out a Capacitor or two, and because of that, the computer needs to charge the Capacitors fully before my computer will start correctly, but I really have no clue...)
Can someone explain this to me? Or even help me fix the 5 minute thing?
