    Boot it up the first time and it will run for 3 to 5 hrs then crashes.It will restart immediately and run for about an hour and crash again.
    Does this sound like a MB going bad or bad memory or?

    Could maybe be a heating issue?

    Not heat if it restarts immediately.

    Turn off restart on error. You want to see the BSOD so you can find out what is causing the crashing.
    Control Panel/System
    In left pane, click on Advanced System Settings
    Find Startup and Recovery and click on settings
    Remove the check/tick in front of Automatically Restart

    Run Coretemp or Speedfan on it, just to be sure its not heat related. Then run Who crashed by respledence. and see if there is any dumps
