Selected Answer: C
C would be the only answer to explain why there is an issue after about 5 minutes. Just long enough for the CPU to overheat. There are over reasons (ie rouge processes) why an issue could happen over a period of time but C is only one out of this group of answers. A. doesn’t make sense how would expansion card become loose after running the server for 5 minutes? Reseating the expansion card would make more sense if the server couldn’t see the card at all.

Selected Answer: C
A server suddenly turning off without any power issues typically indicates overheating. CPUs overheating can very often cause servers to just die after being on for 2-10 minutes.
