I have been experiencing seeming random power shut off's lately. The computer will being running fine for weeks, days, and now hours and will suddenly shut off with no warning. I'm suspecting the video card maybe getting to hot or the power supply is got some issues. I'm NOT overclocking and the CPU never gets over 50 C. Anyway I'm open for some suggestions. Thanks.

I had the exact same problem until I finally upgraded to an Antec PP-303X power supply. I would be in the middle of playing a game and the system would just reboot or shut off completely. It seemed to come at random intervals too. I would recommend replacing the power supply.

Yep I agree!... I had random power offs and it was my PSU that went faulty after only 9 months,using an Enermax now which is working great :).
