If all the fans are working properly, it could be a bad memory stick, a virus, or even a bad driver.
I have seen computers that in day to day jostling or moving from room ro room have had components come loose.
First make sure all the cards are plugged in properly & well seated.
Power off, remove each card & memory stick and reinstall.
Check the manufacturer's website for your video card & mouse to see if they have updated drivers.
Mak sure your AntiVirus software is fully updated then run a virus scan in Safe Mode.
Run a Spyware scan in Safe mode as well.
Windows Defender does OK, I also like Spybot Search & Destroy and Ewido.

Hey there,
The computer may shutoff because of power settings in the control panel. By "default" Windows configs the computer to go into Standby after an hour of inactivity. Check your "Power Options" in the control panel. Or go to run and type "powercfg.cpl"
Ok

It could be, but a far more likely problem is either a bad fan causing it to overheat or a bad memory stick.

MOST LIKELY THE EXAUST FAN ON THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT WORKING
