A pc I assembled myself is randomly dying
It just goes blank like someone pulled the power cord.
Would you guess it is from heat?
The first time it happened I turned it right back on and it happened again. I took the side panel off and waited. It didnt happen again for a few weeks. Then it didnt happen again for a few months and I noticed the side panel I had taken off was leaning against it almost closing it. I just got some heat monitoring software- I just wanted to know if you thought I was on the right track because I had been told in the past that taking the side of the case off might lower the overall temperature of the case but changes air flow in a way that causes the really hot components that need cooled to get even hotter. It is a coolermaster case but it has a quad core cpu and a nvidia 8800GTX video card too.
Thoughts?
