I built a media PC with a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN FM2+ MiniITX motherboard and 3.7GHz AMD A10-7850K Kaveri CPU. I'm not overclocking or anything, and it seems to work OK for compute jobs (building kernels, etc.) but when my wife uses it to watch streaming video, it often crashes after 10-15 minutes. It's a power-myself-off crash, and the RAM feels quite hot to the touch, so I sort of suspect a temperature problem, but who knows? The CPU fan doesn't seem to be going full speed when this happens, so it might be some sort of control problem / failure to use all cooling power when necessary.
Does anybody know where to begin debugging this? It's Ubuntu 14.0, which is many versions beyond when I used to be able to understand what's going on.
