Well;

Now the little computer won't stay lit for much longer than 5 minutes. My
guess, the board or power supply has a problem causing the CPU to get too
hot.

I guess I'm on the hunt for a replacement board, memory, case with fan, etc.
Only problem I can see is my better half is in need of the computer right
away, and locally MSI is about the only choice. Arrrggghhh...!

Check that the chipset fansink is running and keeping the motherboard
chipset cool. Ensure the CPU fan is running at full RPM.
