Have you cleaned the inside of the PC? Is dust clogging cooling fins or fans or case vents? Are fans spinning? PSUs can overheat and cause breakdown as well.

i don't have such skill as pc maintenance. i have removed heat sink but unable to install back. before that i have tested memory with memtest86+, it quickly shutdown. i think it's not memory's fault, if it is memtest86+ shall report error in red.


Of course your hardware needs all fans clean and also the thermal conduction between CPU and heat sink in proper shape (thermal paste not dry and still in good condition).

After you recently already have had difficult to explain problems with a hard disk, did you finally check the motherboard, RAM and CPU to still perform reliable, as recommended in the thread for your hard disk problem? You will remember, I recommended to confirm if your hardware runs stable under a high load for a long time. The test tools recommended to use are:
  RAM: memtest86+ (accessible as an boot option from rescue distros)
  CPU: stress-ng (package in the Debian repository)
  Motherboard: dd (package coreutils, should already be installed)

Good Luck! Marco.
