(Packard Bell) Azus P5S800-VM/S Motherboard TIA

[sandy58]

I have acquired this pc with problems. I am looking for hints on why
this PC freezes after a very short running time, around three to four
minutes. It takes a long while to even show the PB logo. When it is
rebooted after freezing I have to wait 10 minutes or so before booting
(which points to overheating?) I have checked the fan, heatsink
etc..working & spotless. Could it possibly be a bad PSU? Any help in
this would be very gratefully received.
