Well title says it. Also my cousin computer doesnt over heat or anything.
Does that means it just dusty?

Suddenly turns off? Does it give an error or BSOD, or just shut off?

If it gives an error, it's likely a RAM issue or a problem with the OS.

If it just shuts straight off it's probably either a PSU problem, or something's overheating. Get a program like speedfan and check your temps, then report back.

Also getting a can of air and blowing everything out can't hurt.

Mine sometimes does that... I'm suspecting either the PSU or the surge protector I am using.

Ehh My other computer used to do it, How do you know it's not overheating. Because I would start my computer and go into BIOS and watch as my CPU temperature would rise and rise and rise. If you know how to check your CPU temp in bios, Do it, or If you have VISTA or get a widget that will watch it, because My CPU didn't heat up as much in BIOS as it did actually running windows. Since I can't post URL's you can AIM, ICQ, or MSN me lol I'll give you some things to help you[/list]

Also when the computer shut off first it freeze for a few seconds than it shut off on its own.

Is it a repeatedly shutdown?
If so, how many times?
Does anything appear on your monitor?

I had this problem on my old PC.

First I thought it was my PSU, so I replaced it.
Nope. It wasn't.

Then I started to look inside my computer when it was on.
I noticed that my GPU cooler was stuck.

So I gave it a good "punch" and it worked.
Problem solved.

I had exact same problem, I though power supply but it wasn't, the dim wad who put the CPU in this computer couldn't thermal grease it for his life, I just cleaned off the old and put in some less amount and it works, so something is most likely overheating.

Err The computer is 7 years old and they never change a thing in it. Back than it worked fine for 12 straight hours.

You know I had the same problem with my laptop and sent it to some computer store. They ripped me off. I realize now it was the PSU and not the mother board.

God have they ever opened the thing and cleaned it?
I'm afraid if they didn't., And 12 straight hours? It should work from when you turn it on to off lol

But it really REALLY sounds like something overheating, or giving out, PSU, CPU too hot, etc.

Once My friend had a computer for about 6 years and I asked him if he ever opened it and cleaned it, because the thing def was overheating and he's like "YOU CAN OPEN A COMPUTER?!" thinking it's like permanently sealed? I opened the sucker and all I had to say was wow.

Nope they never open/clean the inside.
