What if you're a Christian meaning you've accepted HIM as your personal God and Savior then suddenly you commit suicide. Where would you go? HEAVEN or HELL?

Your question is a little unclear. You say you've "accepted HIM" which would be God, since you have not mentioned anyone else. You missed the mark there a little bit, but at least a life.
The Bible and Jesus himself specifically state that the only way to God is thru Jesus. So if you just accepted God and not Jesus, you got straight to Hell either way.
The Bible talks about your intent and even your thoughts as being the sin, before the act was even committed.
Just because a sin is pardonable, doesn't make it right to say "screw you" and "sorry" in the same breath. If your intent in suicide is murder, then it clearly doesn't help to say "sorry."
To carry out the act of suicide, you have lost faith in God. You have turned your back on God. You have said God cannot help you, that His promises are false. By committing suicide you are saying God does not exist. God is no longer obligated to consider anything else. The only reason God would pay any attention to you at all, is if you turn your back on thoughts of suicide and trust in Him.
The suicide is just dead meat, roasting in Hell. serving Satan. You choose every day whom you will serve. God didn't put thoughts of suicide there. If you want to serve Satan, you are free to choose to serve him.

Some people are taught that this is the unforgivable sin and that you would go to hell.
But the Bible teaches that the only unforgivable sin is refusing to accept Christ. If a sin is forgivable, even if you don't ask forgiveness, you will not go to hell because you commit the sin. Sin is occurs when we do not obey God. We all disobey God. We reap rewards for all the good things we do as Christians, we lose part of these rewards when we disobey God, (or sin)

Whether you accept it or not He is the Supreme Power. His existence is not endangered because you don't recognize Him The only thing is that people like you remain a small children forever(do not mature). Let me explain it with the help of an example- Children of many countries have gathered somewhere and someone, say a common teacher asks them pointing towards the sun that what is it . An English child will say it is a Sun and an Indian child will say no it is Suraj and the other have their own definitions for that but the Sun is not going to change because they had different names for that. You people really talk nonsense. when are you going to grow up. He is one, the thing is that we have given Him different names and identity does mean that there are thousand Gods in this world.

Guess, its up to God. But, you took your life from HIM. I think you would go to hell (the waiting place before the judgement, not the lake of fire) initially and then when you are to face God on judgement day he will decide. But, given the fact that every individual means so much to Him and you take your own life from Him willingly, I would suppose the judgement is harsh.
Also, I think that it depends on circumstance a bit. If you jump from a tall building, out the windo, while it is burning at 3000 degrees than probably heaven.

You murdered someone, and didn't have time to ask for forgiveness. There aren't many options in terms of Heaven and Hell left. Don't commit suicide!

Many people say that it is impossible for you to go to heaven if you commit suicide. The bible says the only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus as your savior. It says that when Jesus died he died for all your sins. Paid for in advance. Suicide does not exclude you from heaven.
EDIT: Suicide IS murder, but murder is forgiven by God. Therefore suicide is also forgiven. Also suicide is defined as any case of intentional or purposeful killing of yourself or letting yourself be killed. Jesus knowingly let himself be crucified, without resistance and for a purpose. Thus he, by definition, committed suicide.

I believe that you would go to hell. If you're a Christian and have accepted Christ, then you would strive to live like him, to follow His commandments-one of which is "thou shall not kill" which would include yourself. Also, I don't believe you can ask forgiveness for a sin you are about to commit-if you're truly sorry, you'd seek an alternative to disobeying God's laws beforehand!

If you really accept HIM your personal God, you wont think to commit suicide and no question arises to go to HEAVEN or HELL in that case.

I don't think any action is black or white. I think if you commit suicide, God understands exactly why you did, and what you had to have felt to have taken such a drastic step. If any Christian believes that God is merciful and loving, they must see the reason in the arguement that He- having been the one to give us the emotions we have- sympathizes with them more than anyone else can.

No one really knows. Suicide is obviously a sin but if you ask for forgiveness as you are dying you may get a chance at Heaven.
