Your system is likely experiencing thermal shutdown. This could be happening at either the CPU or PSU. (In most cases.)

1.) Check your CPU fan. Is it clogged with dust because you haven't maintained it? Have the bearings died? (Is it grinding?) Replace the fan if necessary (they're cheap enough...) AND clean all of the dust from your system.

2.) Check the thermal transfer material between your CPU and CPU heatsink. Is it old and dried up? Did it ever actually make contact with the surface of the CPU to begin with? If it hasn't been replaced in a long time anyway, clean it off of the CPU and the heatsink and replace it with fresh thermal paste. (Don't use too much. Most people do. Just enough to give a thin covering!)

3.) Is your PSU full of dust to the point where it can't breathe? BLOW IT OUT! Use an air compressor if you have one. (The best way.) If not, use a basic can of air from the office supply store. (Less effective but still works.)

Beyond this... You might be having CPU/memory errors. Depending on the OS you're running, it might be causing kernel panics or other similar errors and shutting the system down. If the system is just locking up, the watchdog timer (a common function in motherboards) might be active and cycling the system. Check error logs and or SEL logs in your BIOS.

Rancher 55 will start and run for approx. 30 min. Then will shut down and not restart until completley cool.

Could be a couple of things, when it satrts to die, just slacken off the filler cap, if it picks up again then it is a fuel tank breather issue, the other possibility is the igniton unit breaking down when hot, the only answer here is to replace the unit.

Sounds like you have a loose connection on a battery cable. loosen the bolt and pull off each end and clean, then replace. When you clean them, make sure you get down to clean metal.

You may need a new alternator because if they are messed up, they will drain batteries and make it hard to start or keep your car running. Also get the starter checked because that can make it hard to start the car too.
