    I had a similar problem & found out it was the heatsink, My problem was that the heatsink was no longer in full contact with cpu as it was loose & needed adjustment.

    Yes, it'll either be the CPU heatsink or the power supply most likely. Which brand is the power supply? I can't think what TL stands for.

    The exact same unit that I use. Probably your heatsink. Try reseating it.
