My Dell Just Died

I was working quietly on my DELL machine and it just totally died, no blue screen, no errors nothing at all, just died. I was typing on the Keyboard and it went black faster then unplugging it. The power button then started blinking orange. I unplugged and re-plugged the machine, and it started, but I am wondering what would have caused that. I have people working around me and nobody elses machine died and the lights did not go out, so there was not a power outage. The machine was not moved or bumped and the power outlet is too far away for my feet to have kicked it.
sure you didn't send it to standby by mistake? The power light might blink orange when it in standby.
