You may want to check out Transport Fever 2 (soon to be 3). It's made by Germans I think, who presumably thought that Railroad Tycoon was too simplistic.

First thing to do if you haven't already is load the BIOS and reset the configuration. Many enthusiast systems have performance setting options which will attempt to overclock various components, which usually works, but when it doesn't it can cause issues like what you describe. There should be an option to set everything back to normal or safe settings, which might fix the problem all by itself.
Second thing to do is try booting a recovery environment like https://www.system-rescue.org/. If this is successful, you can try to mount the hard disk partitions to copy data to another drive or network share. This won't work if the disk is encrypted, unfortunately. You would be able to test the RAM though - it's one of the boot options on that image. You could also run a few hardware tests, like copying the hard drive blocks to /dev/null to test for read errors.
Another tip that might help you is that if it's a standard ATX power supply, you can try scrounging one from just about any other standard PC. The machine will need no more than around 100 watts just to boot up. The high power requirements only really come into play when working the GPU and CPU hard.
Once again, Wisconsin is leading the way. Kidding aside, I really have come to appreciate the "bar as neighborhood rec room" that is very common here, as opposed to "bar as establishment/nightclub". The music is lower, the drinks are reasonably priced, the popcorn is free, and you can chat with people, play some games, watch TV, or sit by the fire and read. I appreciate as a singleton that there is no particular expectation that you provide your own company.
But I'm most likely to experience that feeling of complete ease and satisfaction, that I think is called Gemütlichkeit, at the beer garden. In a rare moment of sanity, civic leaders have permitted operators to serve beer in the public parks (the parks getting a hefty slice of proceeds, natch), and the experience of sitting above a rolling river under a stand of towering old oaks, or the closer shelter of leafy maples, on a warm summer's afternoon, eating picnic food and quaffing a couple liters of fine lager over several hours - it's the closest thing to bliss that I can imagine.
