My PC hangs within 5 min or max half an hour.
When I press restart button, then No display.
After powering off, sometimes PC starts otherwise not.
Sometimes it stuck on Motherboard splash screen, sometimes in bios.


What I have tried:

1) Using 1 Ram stick at a time (Having 2*4GB)
2) Using Onboard display instead of gpu
3) Change the thermal paste and again tighten the CPU Cooler (Hyper 212 EVO)
4) Using everything out of the cabinet (Haf 922)
5) Chaned CMOS battery
6) Reset Bios
7) Flash bios to latest version

What can be the problem ?
How can I check whether PSU is fine or not ?

Hard Disk Change....still the same problem.

PC hangs at :
1) Motherboard Splash Screen
2) If I restart after PC hangs, many a times no display...Then I switch off the power...wait for 1-2 min...Again start PC...it starts
3) As soon as it reaches Desktop
4) After 5 min...Max 30 min...it hangs


I went to computer shop today, the guy at the shop said...its processor problem...
I think, if it's processor problem...will I able to install windows ? Will there be any display ??
Is mobo gone bad ?


Please help me guys !!!

From last 1.5hr....PC running fine in Safe Mode..though Idle..but same idle in normal mode result in hang

Is it possible that PSU not able to supply power when PC is on load and results in hang ??

1. check each ram modules on different slots using memtest86+ app.
2. Use a discrete gfx card.
