It's worth a shot. However (I'm not saying don't do JB's suggestion, do it anyways... It won't hurt), if it's running all day and crashes at night, it might be an overheating issue caused by too little circulation over the components. During normal operation, what's the CPU temperature?

Your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is overheating. There's too little circulation over it. Try this GPU Cooler

I would take into consideration if the USA is as hot as the UK at the moment then that is part of the issue.

My GPU is running at 60c at the moment which is hot for my card from its usal temp.

If the cooler of the GPU has been removed or replaced in the past then thermal paste should be re-applied.

I agree possibly better cooling on that GPU but I am more conserned over the high temp of that hard drive which could be the possible issue.

I agree. When a HD overheats, it can shut down the PC and make it inoperable.
