It sounds like EOL. You can try to fix things by: 1. Remove *all* PCI cards from the machine, blow the dust out of *all* the slots, and reinstall the cards. 2. Replace the PC power supply with a newer, higher output wattage power supply. Probably won't help though. 3. Better case cooling fans. Probably won't help though.
