	Thanks for letting us know! Now, I'll take a long shot here and I'll assume you need some sort of advice for your situation. Since my assumption skills are really poor when it comes to figuring what hardware you're running, I'm gonna politely ask you to provide the community with more details about your rig, e.g. what CPU, PSU, GPU, RAM, case, cooler(s), etc. Then, onto software, OS, BIOS version, drivers, etc. In case you're too lazy to type those, here are few general suggestions you could try: - try running a live Linux distro from a USB for a few days and see if it's OS-related. - clean your PC from dust, especially the chipset heatsink; - re-applying new TIM to the CPU cooler and chipset heatsink is always a good idea; - flash the latest BIOS (even if you have it) via DOS; - clear CMOS and then enter any specific settings in BIOS you may want; - try running a live Linux distro from a USB for a few days and see if it's OS-related, again; - install your favorite Windoze from scratch, then plop the latest official drivers; If you're still having this after all, I'd highly recommend you get yourself a whole new PC in 2018. Good luck, keep us posted!
