A lot of things could be causing your problem , Lack of or bad RAM . Low disk space . A bad compentent in your system . You need to give us more info on your PC before a reasonable estimate could be made. Hope This Helps Solve Your Problem

Try setting your screen saver to none if you have one selected. It might be corrupt. Also try changing any power
management settings to never. These are just a few quick and easy things to try first.
 
Could be heat in the computer case. Have you used canned air and blown it out lately? Be sure to blow out the power supply and all fans.
 
Blowing out with canned air is a good, but do it with power down and stick a pencil in the fan to keep it from spinning.
Spinning magnets on a coil also exist in the fan mechanism.
Manually spinning it generates a charge...don't induce that on the lo voltage components of the board/system.
