      well by reading your ...description.

      could be a loose wire in your computer power plug, touch it and it disconnects(brothers computer does that)
      could be a power supply problem
      could be a heat problem and shutoff...without the blue screen
      could be a faulty shutdown switch.

      does this happen out of the blue? or does it happen when you bring up the usage, such as games

          Possible problems:

          1. Loose wire (Check power cord).
          2. Virus infection - Try Kaspersky's online virus scan: http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-virus-scanner.php
          3. Defective power supply may be a possible problem.
