    GPU : ATI Radeon HD 5450 DDR3 1 GB
    RAM : 4GB DDR3


    PSU :Corsair 600GS

    I been havin this problem fr a long time .
    When i start my PC the lights dont come on . Id have to turn off the main switch and back on , only then the lights come . And then my PC works fine for about 8-10 hrs until it starts to restart like about every 15 mins or so . I checked the event log after every restart there was nothing of it .. Checked Device manager , BIOS settings CPU temp still havent found the problem fr this . I ran memtest86+ and it passed but with Windows Memory DIagnostic tool it says hardware problem !! So Plz help !!
    Thank You in advance :)

    Yes, both at the same time. Those are rather high core temperatures, you should open up the case and check the CPU cooler, it's probably very dirty.

    - Remove the heatsink and clean all the dust deposit from both the cooler and the ventilator.
    - Clean all traces of thermal grease and apply a new layer. Even if you don't have any grease, it's better not to apply a fresh coating then to have a dried out layer
    - Reseat the cooler carefully and fasten it securely

    This video covers many of the important steps

    No if it was the bios it would not be working for 10 hours then restarting i think the problem is you are working it to hard. Try shutting it down for 30min every 5 hours or using a speed control program to boost your fans
