Hello everyone!
I've got a few questions for some of you hardware specialists here.
Gonna be a longish post so please bare with me..
First off, i've got a E5300, 2GB of DDR2 and a 9600GSO, along with 2 Sata HDDs. In the past few months i've been having some weird computer issues that seem to add up.
It started with my HDD sometimes locking up and not being recognized until i rebooted a few times. It seemed to me like faulty cables, i changed em, it didn't really fix the issue. In order to boot, i found out over time, i had to move the sata cable a bit, which made me think it was actually an issue with the sata port on the mainboard. Did that for a while, but the HDD eventually got a bit more worn out.
Got another hard drive from work and added that aswell, installed it in a different sata port etc. The problems seemed to continue, which made me believe its a mainboard issue.
After a couple of months, my videocard started overheating. I'm talking temperatures of 79C in idle, and 105C in certain games. My computer would start throwing artefacts, as expected and then reboot. The artefacts continued to appear even in MS-DOS, before windows booted up.
So yeah, i really don't know what the problem really is, it seems like everything in the computer is crashing down, and i haven't the slightest idea what could be causing so many issues in such a short time.
I'll provide logs and such if any of you think they can help.

Could be down to a shitty PSU.
That's just a "could be" though.
Might take a little work to get to the bottom of this.
Start with listing the full system spec including the motherboard make/model and psu make/model etc.
