My computer is failing me
 
My computer has been randomly crashing lately. I got it built cheaply about a year ago and have replaced RAM, and the motherboard. I have checked the video card and it is fine. I keep dumping money into it and fixing the small problems that it has but it still gives me problems. I do not know why it is crashing right now, I run 4 party tables, PT and PA hud while surfing internet. I have 512 Ram. Could it be my hard drive crashing? To reboot I wait 10 or so minutes and unplug and plug back in and it usually works for a few more days before crashing again. Should I buy a new computer or fix something on this one? I have very very little money, please give me advice on how to remedy this cheaply.

We can't really know with this little information. What happens when it crashes? Blue screen? Just shuts off? Random other stuff?

just shuts down. Doesn't really make any noises, just turns black, LEDs turn off.

Could be a faulty power supply or an overheating issue.

Try running with the cover off. If heat is the problem that is the cheap solution.

Yeah, sounds like heat.
