My computer has been randomly crashing. I think it might have something to do with overheating, but I'm not sure.
The crashes are kind of strange... The audio coming out the speakers studders, then the mouse stops moving, and then everything on the monitors stop moving. No blue screen and it doesn't unfreeze even if I wait a long time (20-30 minutes). I have to do a hard reset to get the system working. The crashes typically happen soon (5-10 minutes) after I start the system, but can happen at any time. I reinstalled windows, installed every windows update, installed all of the latest drivers listed on Gigabyte's website, flashed the bios, and the problem continues. Nothing is overclocked except the GPU which is factory overclocked. I've got all of the cables tied down and tucked away, and the air flow feels pretty good. I've run memtest and some other diagnostics and nothing so far points to a problem.

No mention of checking your CPU fan and cleaning it if necessary.
