My only concern with trying to fix it yourself unless someone here can come up with something easy is the computer store might try and lay the blame on you if you mess with it. You might call and ask them for a solution. Good luck.

A couple of questions. Do you have any software that will tell you the temperature of some of your components..motherboard, processor, etc? Case fan(s) working okay? My semi-educated guess tells me that it is either heat related...a lot of motherboards have an auto turn off when the temperature of one of the components gets to a certain level....or you've got a bad power supply, even if it was just replaced. ....outside chance it could be a bad power cord (the cord that plugs the computer into the wall) I'd bet it's most likely the power supply.
