Default my pc stops to work spontaneously

Hi,
I've got a problem with my pc approximately for a week - without switching it off, it stops working, and then I cannot turn it on for some time. Why do you think it is and what do you suggest I should do?
Thanks in advanced!

Overheating sounds favourite:

Your PC temperatures can be tested by downloading from here:


Download SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

After running the PC for some time any Flames??

Hello skype,68c is a high temp and your computer is shutting down because of it,a self protect mode. As Elpmek suggested download speedfan or coretemp 32. Then post your logs back here... Also i am suspecting that when your computer reaches 55c or lower,that's when it comes back on correct?
