The last couple of days my home computer turns itself off and there are a faint electrical sound to be heard when it happends

I have used speedfan and the temps looks okay in general around 45 - 50 degrees and core temp around 53 - 58 degrees celsius.

I have checked all outside connections and they are fine.

Last time it happend last night it was after using the scroll on the mouse rapidly but it can also happend when the mouse is not in use.

Am gonna open up the cabinet during the weekend and just wondered if anybody had a clue what to look for besides the obvious of checking all connections ...

Are you doing anything 'heavy' on the computer when this happens? eg playing a game, running an intense application

There's no point, no one can beat me

Are you running Vista? If so, check your "reliability log" ... Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Reliability and Performance Monitor > Click on 'Reliability Monitor' under Monitoring Tools

^ try and find the same thing in XP, I'm sure there is something similar ... it should tell you why your computer is turning off.

That's what I'd cast my vote at, too.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Clearly it wants you to go outside.

You don't want it to be the PSU, a failing PSU could take anything else in your computer with it. I would replace it ASAP.

Run Memtest, if that checks out, I concur with Maniac, replace your power supply before it fries everything else. lol. Most name ram has lifetime warranties.
