In the past 3 days my PC decides to randomly stop responding. No devices work. The image on the monitor stays. I need to restart my PC to resolve it. I get no error messages or anything like that. I have scanned my PC with the anti stuff. I havn't changed anything in my computer hardware or software, so I don't know whats going on. Any ideas?

CPU Heat sink or PSU heat sink with lot of dust?

RAM Memory is broken.

it sounds to me like overheating too, although im not an expert
buy a can of compressed air and spray your computer fans and heatsinks

yeah, it might just be some dust "compressed air" will be ur best bet ... remember not to touch any of the components especicaly on the motherboard e.g CPU, PCI slots, chipsets etc etc..

Where's the best place to get compressed air? I think my PC needs a blast or 15. And a hoover just doesn't work as well as you'd think.

Tell me about it, was about as useful as me trying to suck it up with my mouth.

I'll try the compressed air, if I can be bothered to buy some.

turn off restart on system failure, next time it happens, if you get a blue screen, google the stop error?

It doesn't restart automatically, I have to press the button to restart it. And no errors appear.

you should reallly open it up and see if its too dirty =/
