PC automatic shutdown?

[Guest]

Hi,
My PC is P4-3.2GHz, 1GB Ram.
My computer shuddenly shutdown, monitor + mouse + keyboard are off.
But strange thing is CPU still ON (I heard the HD and the Fan still on). I
couldn't do anything. Shake mouse, CPU, keyboard... nothing to order turn on
my CPU except Holdown button to turn off. It happen 2, 3 times a day. All
file not save are lost!
I do set Power schemes for monitor, hard disks, and system standby to "Never"
Please help with this strange thing?
Thank you for any reply.

If no BSOD's occur (Event ID: 1001 Source: Save Dump), then it may be a
power problem. I would look at a possible faulty (or undersized) pc power
supply, UPS, bad battery, or the circuit feeding the outlet that the pc is
plugged into.

Thank Dave,
I changed the circuit feeding the outlet for the PC to different source and
2 days nothing happen yet - Hopefully not.
There are no Event ID at all.
