Have you tried cleaning your PC?

Ebay page isn't loading for me.

You mean quite warm or very hot? As the eBay link isn't working, I just looked at some image of it here and it appears to have more than adequate ventilation/fans as it is - would need to know how hot it's actually getting.... is it heat causing the crashing or something else?

Download Hardware Monitor (runs directly from exe file) from here and watch your CPU core and HDD temperatures and take a note of them just before it crashes....

Just opened up the case ,the processor's fan and cooling block (not sure what it's called)were prity clogged up with fluff ,used a small brush and the hoover, job done .
Temperature wise ,not that!! warm,have to say though when PC crashes it gets a lot warmer could say it gets hot actually .As for taking note of temps before crashing ,not that easy with no warning from PC when it's going to crash :shrug:
