That's a pretty old PC and dated parts. Many look to be 4 years old. Let's also find out if you are keeping the insides of the PC clean as well as a fan check. Do all the fans operate like new?
-> Another problem you run into is that as the boards age, they tend to get less reliable. I've seen this build on the counter too many times and you can only fix it with new boards (motherboard, GPU, etc.)
Let's get a WEB SPECCY report in case more can be found: Read how at

Hello,
My computer has recently started crashing and I believe it is display related. I have a TV hooked up through HDMI as a second monitor I use to watch youtube constantly. Usually I have an average of 10-12 tabs open in Firefox, videos lined up to watch and things i'm working on. Recently my computer is crashing when I have a video full screen on my TV. It's never done it if it wasn't full screen. Seems like the more tabs open or if a tab is processing something the higher the chances it will crash if a video is full screen. Sometimes both screens freeze and after 30-60 seconds I regain control and can exit full screen but sometimes the computer goes down. Usually it completely loses connection with both the monitor and TV when it goes down.
What are some options that are causing this? I blew it out with air and put a fan on it, I really don't think it's overheating. Is my video card going out or something else? I think my tower is maybe 3 years old, something pre-built from Walmart. I know very little about computers.
Thanks!
