Question:

My PC crushes and it won't start w/o power cable unplug!?

My PC shuts down by itself and even if i push the power button, it won't start again. I have to unplug the power cable and plug it again and then push the power button to start again.... it will work for 30mins-1 hour, and then it will crush again.

Answer:

Of course you can't start it if you Crush it ... sounds like the PSU is overheating and shutting down ... in the process it trips an auto safety feature which by unplugging the power cable you're resetting .... eventually you'll short out the whole thing and fry your computer ... go spend $25 and buy a new Power Supply before you kill your PC
Do a virus scan..
Either major problem (maybe power supply) or infection - Get it looked at by technician if no infections found by Malwarebytes and SUPERANTIspyware -
This sounds like a overheating issue. Have you altered anything in your computer hardware lately? Try looking at your temps with the Feedfan program.
