Hello, today when I was on a game (nothing hardcore) my computer COMPLETELY froze, and I only had one firefox window open along with MSN and yahoo messenger. It lasted for 7 minutes (I clocked it) then I finally had to shut it down manually, the computer then wouldn't turn back on. No power nothing for about one minute and 30 seconds. What could of caused this? Also my computer is slow and I have no known infection. My fan is super loud too. Any suggestions? Also should I be worried about my computers health?

Download Speedfan (The download link is to the right), and install it. Once it's installed, run the program and post here the information it shows.
The information I want you to post is the stuff that is circled in the example picture I have attached.
To make sure we are getting all the correct information it would help us if you were to attach a screenshot like the one below of your Speedfan results.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard.
  • It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
  • Now go to Start and then to All Programs
  • Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
  • In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
