    So then everything works now but the cause that caused the problem remains a mystery ?
    Keep everything cool in these temperatures is my advice. Especially the room you work in.

    The power supply is the most thermally stressed component after the CPU. Often it gets only hot exhaust air from the CPU to cool it down
