When I played age of mythology day before yesterday (thats the onlly game i play and i couldnt check with others) within a few minutes the systems started getting stuck once every few minutes. It used to do that even while playing songs before but that was once every 5 minutes or so. Within about half an hours it started getting stuck a lot like about once 2 seconds or so and then completely got hung. Fine. So I restarted. but the funny thing was the cpu got on, the fans were working and the dvd drive was coming in and out on pressing the eject button and even the keyboard lights started up as normal. But there was no display on the monitor. I tried unpluggin the monitor and hte no signal sign came up. So I guess the monitor was fine.
I logged a complaint with my service provider and the engineer came yesterday but when he started the system, it started up normally. We chatted for quite some time and the system was working fine. He left and I started AOM. Within half an hour the same problem recurred and the system went down. I was curious and opened up the system. I touched the aluminium spikes next to the processor and found that it was very hot. I am assuming that it is the reason the computer is getting stuck while using cpu intensive applications. The engineer is completely flummoxed. Please advise.
