have you checked out what temp your cpu is at?

 

[jac006]

how?

how would i found that info out?

 

[wozelbeak]

has your motherboard installed a utility in your programes? that is where i find my temps.
also in your bios might show temp. i am not 100% certain. but if you consult your mobo manufacturers web site you should get some info.
also make sure you have checked for viruses, could be that.

Hmonitor will tell you if your motherboard has temprature sensors.

also, if you have a bad/old power supply. Sometimes the PSU's that come with the cases kind of suck. All you can do about it is replace it.

That does look like a good program. Too bad its only good for a week.
You can find ur CPU temp by going into the bios. Its easy to find in there.

SOunds again like a PSU defienciency. If you are multitasking, and your power supply isnt adequate, Windows will run for about 7-20 minutes, then randomly shut down. Had that problem once when I put in a new graphics card into an older PC.
