Install psensor and watch if something is getting hot consistently. I did
this a lot trying to figure out what was causing me grief.
This is where your friend said "quit whining and go buy a new pc". You can
chase weird instability and countless hours spent in doing so, or you just
cut your losses and buy something with a warranty. Swap parts if it
remains unstable, or get weary enough to move on. At some point time is
money, and you need to move on, at least it is for folks that make money
doing this for a living.
I like to tinker, but not to the point I wake up cursing the damn thing.
Reason my desktop is sitting powered off at the moment and i use my laptop.
