Hey guys
When i turn my pc on it will load to the desktop then after a few seconds it will will cut out. After that i switch it back on it will not even make it through the boot sequence.
I thought that it may be overheating and checked for dust around the GPU and power supply however there wasnt really any dust there.
My PC is in a conservatory and when it started happening it was when we were having the heat wave in the summer and it was hitting 40 odd degrees, so i put it to that. However now its winter and its not hot in the office it still does it.
Has the heat done some damage to the pc and what should i be looking at to see about fixing it.
