so my dad's computer (windows 7) has been randomly bluescreening and rebooting around the same time every day (5:00-5:30)

im pretty sure its a psu overcurrent protection or heat problem, but any ideas? here are the specs:

i7 970

some random hp mobo

3x 4gb ddr3 1333

1tb hdd

gtx 580

hp case

550 watt psu

random cd drive

What bluescreen error is it? If it happens the same time every day, some internal software clock might be having some serious problems (unless that's just the time of day he starts using it.)

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.
