My machine keeps shutting down during the nite. Sensor 1 temp is 77*, sensor 2 and 3 are 30 and 39.Is this ok? I am using motherboard moniter 5 to get that info.

Temp is fine what you probably are dealing with is a failure of your video card, motherboard, or power supply. Things to look for on a bad motherboard: Look around the board for som small stand up cylinders (capacitors) they are metal warped in plastic with a cap that is exposed metal they should all be perfectly flat if not they are failed meaning bad mother board(probably do to a power surge). For everything else follow basic troubleshooting break the chain try a freinds power supply try your hard dirve in another computer just break the chain of failure. try i different video board or remove the video board see if it stays on... just break the chain

Those temps sound like Celsius. If they are then 77 Celsius is 171 Fahrenheit.
Vacuum dust off cooling fins. Visually inspect mother board for burned or melted components. I've read a lot about capacitor meltdowns lately. Good luck.

Those temps (if correct) are low Does it only shut down when your not using it?
