I do not want to type down wrong assumptions. Please ask questions and I will answer to the best of my abilities. I hope we can trouble-shoot this.

Boggin:
Freezing and shutting down could relate to overheating problems.

Are you using a desktop pc or laptop - with a desktop pc the BIOS can have the temperatures but not so with a laptop.

Desktop PC.

How do I find out if it is a over-heating issue?

Boggin:
If you can boot up into the BIOS it should display them in some part of it.

While you are in the BIOS also check the voltages as a failing PSU can also cause problems.

The 3.3, 5 and 12v should be within Plus/Minus 5% of their value.

There is a program that you can download, but if it's freezing and shutting down, then that will be a no go.

If the fans are going full bore, that will be a definite clue, depending upon how long the machine runs for before it shuts down.

The program is the free Version of HWMonitor - http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Hit the SETUP • ENGLISH button down on the left.

Opening up the case to see how much dust etc. is in there can also be a tell-tale and giving it a good clean out could resolve if there is a build up.

Does these look okay to you?

The 3.3, 5 and 12 are indeed plus/minus %5 of their value.
