Guys I got an issue with my PC, while its working for about 10-20mins since I switch it on the PC just gets off (no error message, something like a power failure) but the RAM LED is working and also keyboard caps lock LED is also working) so I have to switch it on again and after 10-20 is goes off again and i have to on it back on the 3rd or 4 th attempt the pc works fine continues without getting off. What could be the problem????

Overheating. Check your CPU temperature.
If it is gettting up in the 6-70 degree centigrade region it is getting to hot.

I agree. Open the side and take low-pressure compressed air and blow out the dust. Especially the vent fans, and the power supply air intake and exhaust. Take the CPU fan off of the heatsink by removing the 3 or 4 tiny screws on the top of the fan shroud, and clean it and the fins of the heatsink. They get rammed with dustwhere you can't see it.
