computer slow

Mon Oct 30 15:56:00 MST 2017

Well, you're on the right track.  Try to isolate whether glmark alone can
crash it, or if you need stress as well.   Then try opening up your case
and point a fan in there.
Also don't forget to check the BIOS for thermal management events that
might be causing the shutdown/reboot.
