Once in awhile (1-2x a day) my PC just suddenly crashes. It's not 'software / OS' crash, but the screen just turns all GRAY without a warning. And the sound is stuck in a loop. So it's totally kaput, absolutely irreversible.
I just have to press reset and reboot. The crash doesn't seem to be related to any particular application usage. It just craps out at any point.
This leads me to speculate it's some sort of a hardcore PC component problem? It's been happening for years, and I just tolerated it. But now it's happening more frequently.
Power Supply? CPU dying? GPU?
