Howdy y'all. My desktop recently begun acting up in a fairly undesirable way. If I run any remotely intensive program(games are all I've tested so far), it just ups and dies. However, the light stays on and I can still hear a quiet whirring noise. Additionally, restarting any time soon causes it to act up to. It whirs pretty loudly for a few seconds, the light comes on, but nothing shows up on the monitor. Then it goes back to the quiet whirring. It seems to fix itself after an hour or so and will start back up.
My first thoughts were maybe it was the power supply, but I'm not really that well educated on these things. Any ideas or help? I'd obviously prefer to get this fixed myself instead of paying someone else to do it for me and I'm pretty sure I can follow basic instructions if a part needs replacing, but I can't really do that unless I know what's actually being the problem.
