That would sound like a heat issue to me. Try taking off the side of your case and see if the problem presists.
Random computer turn offs
Hi i have a problem with my computer. It turns off randomly. Not shutdown, but power down. It depends on how many programs I am running to determine how long the computer will stay on. If I have alot of programs, I may get 5 minutes, but if I am just running something simple, I can get up to an hour. I initially thought I needed a new power supply and I bought one. But it still did it. So I just put the old power supply back in, and it does it too.
I am running a comp with:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
Abit AN7
ATI AIW 9600 pro
1 Gig of Corsair XMS
200 gig WD SATA hd
1st power supply: Antec 400w
2nd power supply: Codegen 550w
Win XP Pro

that was the solution. i have a server case, so the sound really bounces around in it, so i had turned down my cpu fan....and i forgot about the temperature shutdown...so i turned the fan speed back up, and it works now. thanks alot!!
Shouldn't foget things like that! Going off and being like me isn't the greatest idea.... 
Glad you got it worked out, but id like to ask you something. How'd u adjust the speed?

I have a Thermaltake Volcano 11 on my cpu and it had a speed contol knob that you can eithr put in the cd drive bays, or in the back expansion slots.
granted, it sounds like a jet engine taking off now....but it works like a charm now. Maybe i should get liquid cooling........

I would keep my air cooloing system only with a upgrade of my heatsink and fan. Water cooling will be very costly right now and if you wait till you get your new system (eventually we all will need to ) then you can build that system with water cooling. Thats what i would do. Get a decent fan&heatsink.
