okay so here's what happened.
i booted up resident evil 5 and it ran okay for about 3 minutes then all of a sudden it shut off and it would not turn on for about 15 seconds even the LED on the motherboard was off, this has happened before and it was solved by wiggling the NB heatsink around a little bit (to re-spread thermal paste) and that usually fixed it but why is that causing an issue? could the motherboard possibly be failing?
