open up your task manager and (ctrl + alt + del) and what your cpu stats. if its pinned something may be causing it to overheat.
is the pc well ventilated?
its not a dell gx model by chance? there is a known issue with the caps on the board to bulge and leak causing system lockups and other general hardware chaos.
be careful when troubleshooting not to get stuck on one thing. I do it all the time and it often turns out to be something else.
