Ok it's a long story about what all I've done with my computer, but it's been crashing randomly for months now. I thought it was the ram first, so I bought new ram and it didn't help. Then I found that my hard drives were bad so I bought a new one, and it fixed some problems but not all. It's still randomly crashing and I'm pretty much at a loss what to do.
The crashes happen more often in games than anything. It goes to a blank screen for a second then shuts down and powers back up. Never gives any error messages or anything. I've run memtest for 7 cycles with no errors. I ran a stress test on the CPU and after about 10 minutes it did go to a blank screen and did nothing both times I did it. Could be related to the CPU then, but still could be the motherboard or power supply. The temperature of the CPU is about 118F idle, and right after it crashed I checked it and it was 143F.
Any other information you might need just ask!
