Would anyone know why my computer shuts off on me when I'm right in the middle of something. In order to get it to turn back on I have to unplug it then plug it back into a different socket and when I do that it only stays on for 15 mins and then goes poof again on me. i know its not the surge protector. All tthe fans work. Could I need a new power supply? Is there a fuse anywhere in the computer? Some one help plzzzz.

you said ://I have to unplug it then plug it back into a different socket // excuse me what other/s socket are you talking about? on the surge protector? and if you plug it in the same socket, it will not bootup? sounds like the surgeprotctor to me..
