computer shuts down all the time

Just for for checks. If i was you I would look over your event logs under system. I have never had a system keep rebooting over dust. I have has systems with almost 1/2 inch worth of crap in them cause they were not opened for years. I'm sure some of the networking people here can tell you the dust build up in a good running server is crazy. 99% of the time like mentioned before most reboot problems can be traced back to memory or MOBO problems. Right click my computer, go to manage, and then even viewer. look over the system logs about the time you had your reboots. Should give you a better idea. If a system is overheating it should not be able to boot to safemode. If your system is running in safe mode or reguler mode it is still going to run at the same temp. All safe mode does is disable certain programs and drivers from starting up. Drivers and programs do not cause heat in a system, well not so much that it would cause it to shut down. But either way good your system is running. But check those logs you might be surpised what you find out.
