See if your ram is going dead, use memtest or something. Google is your friend.

Run a test on each individual component. Find out which one is the problem and then replace it.

It seems like a hardware problem maybe, the culprit is the energy supply?

Does it restart? First, Open the case. Dust it and test it again checking if its too hot.
Turn it off. Make sure you ground yourself by touching the metal parts of the case before touching any internal component (<--Extremely important) unplug it (<--very important), remove any external cards you dont need (ethernet/sound/usb). Plug it in again (<--Very important) turn it on and test. If the system boots, well, trial and error will tell you which of the cards or slots failed.
If that doesnt work. Remove all but 1 ram module, check if the module or the slot itself failed.
That should do it. Else, its probably a short, remove the mobo from the case and test it outside.

The one time it happened to me, it took about 10-15 minutes. If it's taking you more than 30 minutes, there's a good chance it's something else.
Plan B: use a bootable CD of some Linux distro and copy your important data, then reinstall Windows.

so a couple days ago i started having problems with my computer. everything was fine until i turned it off and when i turned it on the next day all the logos and everything pops up it goes to the windows loading screen and then just goes black and does nothing. it dosent beep or anything. i thought that maybe windows was corrupted from an update or something and did a clean install yesterday. it worked fine all day and i even restart it and turned it off a few times and nothing happened. then today its doing the same thing again. does anyone know what could be causing it?.
