When I am using my computer and the CPU is being overworked, my computer just turns off like as if someone pulled the plug from the socket. Even during random times like when I'm just searching the web it does it. could it be my power supply is slowly failing or the CPU fan is not working properly??

Two problems that NORMALLY cause this:

1) Bad/Cheap power supply
2) Poor CPU cooling
