I have a self built machine.
I leave it one 24/7
Every few weeks or so I wake up and its not on.
So I reboot and its all OK.

But today it has turned off suddenly while I am using it several times.

It just turns off really quick, so warnings, nothing.

Would you suspect the power supply or the mother board or the video card ?

The only thing I can thik of to try at the moment is to remove the video card.

I don't do any sort of gaming or high cpu intensive activity.

Could be dust - will go and get some compressed air.
