PC Crash...

My PC have this weird problem. It crashes after every 3-4 hours. I am unable to find out the reason or remedy for this matter. My brother's PC works fine for hours and hours. My PC also used to behave like a good pup but since last month, it starts to respond late like an old lady and then it crashes on the stairs. Not on the stairs as such.

I used to have a PC long time back which used to have a similar problem as it used to freeze 15 minutes after connecting to the internet, which later turned out to be due to a non-compatible modem. But in this PC, I am yet to figure out whats going wrong...

Specs of my PC:
P III
512 MB RAM
40 GB HDD
DVD
Monitor
Keyboard
Optical Mouse
Nvidia 5800

Removed the card. Problem Persists.

Its nearly impossible to source a power supply of this model as this model is so old that it can only be found at an antique shop.

Thanks for the reply ZAM.

Its a branded Dell, sourcing parts for branded is quite a problem. But I will try to check uni in a day or two.
