    Okay, so I have a computer I built myself, all the drivers have been installed and it randomly shuts down

    Heres the specs

    500W Power Supply
    2 Gigs of DDR2 Ram
    250Gig Hard Drive
    4 Fans (2 Case, 1 For Graphics Card, 1 for Processor)
    Nvidia 8500 GT (Fatal1ty)
    MSI Motherboard (K9AGM2-FIH)
    No clue why it's freezing, no viruses, 4 Fans should be keeping it cool, any suggestions?

    I had faulty ram that had a similar problem. If you have some old ram laying around, toss it in and see if it still happens. I've also heard of faulty power supplies with that issue. That's all that I can think of, hope it helps.

    Thing is my computer will run for 3-5 hours with any game and then randomly crash during the middle, my friend suggested getting 1 more fan to cool off my ram saying its probably overheating but I don't know, I think I'll try the fan, hopefully that will work =D
