1155931 2010-11-23 16:58:00 My Computer crashes suddenly, I realized it happens while some process consumes lot of CPU, like a game or so
as I see externally, there are some amount of corrosion in computer casing, but cnt see in motherboard
can corrosion effect motherboard or any hardware like this, are there Iron components in motherboard which can get corroded

On the other hand, it might just be the CPU overheating. Try cleaning out the dust with a brush.

1155934 2010-11-23 19:56:00 If it's crashing when there's a lot of CPU (Or during gaming it could be the GPU) being consumed, then it's time to check and make sure it's not overheating.

It happens around this time of year, and I'd suggest it's more likely than corroding motherboard components ;)
