Recently my computer started shutting off sometime during the time I'm sleeping. My first though is that it must be the power supply but if it was my power supply wouldnt it shut off quicker or multiple times during the day? I usually leave my computer running all the time and its been about 3 years with no problems. I'll wake up and and see that the computer is shut off now. so I'll turn it back on around 6:30 am and everything will be fine until I go to sleep at around 11 pm. So sometime between 11 - 6:30 its shuts down. I haven't installed any new hardware and the only software that i've installed lately is for my iphone. Any ideas what it could be besides the power supply?
