  • It could be overheating, and going into thermal shutdown. If you can install a program that graphs the tempurate of your cpu like speedfan or whatever your motherboard manufacturer provides. See if it is overheating.

  • I'd suggest you reseat all the connections inside your PC rig and make sure there are no loose cables! It might also be a good idea to test the power supply unit just as @curtis mentioned. If it's faulty, you should most definitely replace it ASAP. If that piece of hardware is corrupted, it could cause even more damage to your system. Good luck! Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 7:33
  • @cybernard I tried it. The temp was between 47-50 Celcius which is not that much in a Core 2 Duo processor Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 23:01
  • Did you check the windows event viewer for critical and error entries. It has 2 important areas system and application. You may also want to look for bugfix errors.
