Last march I purchased the "Ultima Cyclone" computer from Overclockers but from about 5 months ago I have been getting overheating issues. My screen constantly flashes black every few seconds and after some time will shut down. I then have to start in safe mode and restart otherwise I can not get back in. I do not know what is causing it or how to fix it. I have tried simple solutions such as removing dust but this makes no difference.

try running things like memtest, OCCT to see if you can narrow it down a bit to deffinatily cpu/ram temp/error. or maybe it could be gfx overheating or OS instability. also try removing the heatsink and repasting and reseating it.
If i remember the Cyclone had the i7 920 running at stock speeds? Have you overclocked it since you got it?
If you can boot up the PC start by trying to get some CPU temps. If its running hot you might need to re-apply some thermal paste and resit the heat sink.
My 920 is clocked to 3Ghz and has idle temps of 42C. (just for comparison)
