For the past couple of weeks or so my computer has been falling over. no error messages seen, it simply stops, turning off the power.
This has happened in the past, usually just giving it a good clean up internally solves the problem, but so far not this time. When monitoring the various readings available the only ones which change are those associated with temperature, of these the only one which goes into the red is the motherboard temperature, the CPU can get to just below the red zone after being on for four hours, as can the power, which is normally slightly below the CPU. Typical readings are:
Shortly after switch on cpu 29, mb 35 and pwr 28.
Half an hour after switch on cpu 36, mb 39 and pwr 35
An hour after switch on cpu 42, mb 46 and pwr 39.
At the moment this is the longest that the machine has been up for quite some time, I have removed a usb 3.0 disc; this could be a red herring.
Has anyone any suggestions.
PS It seems to happen more often under Windows XP than under OpenSuse. Usually it only runs under XP when my grandson is here watching Youtube videos of Minecraft continuously.
