Hi, My computer keeps shutting itslef down at different times for no reason, if i havent used it for a few days it can be used for a couple of hours but it gets less and less the more i use it, now it doesn't even get past the memory check on boot. it even shuts itself down when i go into bios. This makes me think its something overheating and since i've tried it with only the processor, memory and video card installed, i think it must be the motherboard or the cpu. Also i can't get the heatsink of the processor is there a special device i need to get it off. Thanks for any ideas.
