I suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests (also located at this link:  http://www.carrona.org/initdiag.html ).  They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there is a hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need them in the future:
H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
http://www.carrona.org/memdiag.html (read the details at the link)
http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html (read the details at the link) - Test ALL of the hard drives.

 Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised:  http://www.carrona.org/malware.html (read the details at the link)
There are also free, bootable antivirus disks at this link: http://www.carrona.org/malware.html#rescue

If all diagnostics pass and if you need more (free) diagnostics, try those here:  http://www.carrona.org/addldiag.html
If you've just run these at the start of your topic on the forums - there's no need to move on (unless a hardware problem is suspected).

I suggest using a temperature monitoring program (works in Windows).  I picked this free one because it was the first one I found that also shows GPU temps:  http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
