Check the cmos battery on the motherboard. Check for accumulated dust on the cpu heat sink. Dust in the power supply. Check and clean all internal components from dust. Know what you are doing before messing with anything internal. The power supply has some hazardous capacitors but you can clean the inside of it with a soft toothbrush and a vacuum cleaner. Get rid of the dust and check the battery on the motherboard. Just for starters. Also make sure the cpu is seated correctly with heatsink paste.

Your workstation is over heating. whilst the fan is going extremely loud which ability that's attempting to counteract the warmth. whilst the video card over heats it many times shuts off or makes some extremely weird and wonderful strains. The thermal paste on your heatsink might choose changing. Does this take place with the different video games? if so you could choose a sparkling pictures card.

Is the video card fan working? or is the ram overheating. Couple things to check. My comp has a temp program set to tell me when things get to within 30 degrees of overheat.

CLICK ON DISPLAY
THEN CHANGE SETTING ON SCREEN SAVER TO A LONGER TIME PERIOD
