Cheaper power supplies are pron to their capacitors failing. this is ultimately what will destabilize them. but if after you cooled the system off and cleaned out the schmutz and it stabilizes then you might have a solution there. Also consider fan/airflow as well.

you know.... I think it was the heat build up. It crashed multiple times. I blew it off and started it again. It crashed again. I must not have given it enough time to cool because  I let it sit for 20-30 minutes and now it isn't crashing.

Power supply, heat., or software bug ;-)

 

Those would be my guesses.

The computer keeps shutting itself off. :(

So I remembered that I had a blower for this and I blew it out and we'll see what happens. The funny thing is that it only seems to do it after I start darktable. I am guessing that it is because dt uses the cpu more. I don't know..... Well, we'll start darktable now and see what happens..... darn. it shut itself off! so this does sound like the power supply?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
