My computer has started this habit is locking up and not responing to anything after about 15 minutes of use. It can be any type of use, even leaving it alone it will stop responding. Ive checked everything from Gfx card, cpu, memory, sound card, hdd, optical drives. What i haven't check yet is the power supply. The volt rails are as follows

3 volt - ~3.2

5 volt - 5

12 volt - 11.53

Could this be a power supply problem? Its a generic 420watt i pulled frrom my first comp. I have also tried doing a repair on windows and installing all the updates, and have run anti virus programs and ad-aware and spy-bot search and destroy numerous times. Im all out of ideas. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
 
It MAY be the PSU, swap it with a known working one. Also check your temps with speedFan. Anything over 60c for CPU is too hot.
