I have a HOTD4 that after about 6hrs will crash. Nothing is on the monitor.

When it crashes, the power supply is still reading proper voltage. The gun sensors around the monitor are on, the I/o and sound boards have power to them also the Lindbergh's light and fan are running. I have a spare power supply when swapped produces similar results.
 
To start, if this is running original PSU and you have not recapped it, I highly recommend doing so and if not possible, ditch it for a good 600w ATX unit. I do sell an ATX adapter for this application if you don't want to hack harness. These PSUs are notorious for taking out video card as well as motherboards.

If power and current is correct, problem is most likely the video card crashing. At least that is where i would start. Problem could mobo, I/O card, processor but 90% of the time its the video card.
 
I did try putting an ATX to the Lindbergh and kept the old supply powering the the i/o boards. Has remained stable for four twelve hr shifts. Hopefully this holds up.
