it cannot be the power supple or it would say that there is low power voltage and to  press F1 to continue to Windows. YOu should reinstall you hard drive with the reboting Cds that you should have gotten with your computer. Yopu will lose all your files. But it will probably work. If it dont then you should buy new IDE cables.    Fixing a motherboard should be your next  2 second thing to do.

Check your power settings. It sound like it's taking a while and your computer is shutting down like it's told on the power profile. Right click the desktop, choose properties, click screensavers, click power and set it for always on.

If you have Windows, do this  Start -> Run -> type in msconfig press ok\n\nIn this command go to startup and all the boxes that are checked, uncheck all the ones you DONT need when you start the PC up, all these programs run when you start the PC and take up processor power.  Just be careful, if it is a Microsoft one, or a System32 one dont uncheck it, the system needs those to run.

just leave it on.\n\nthat's my answer.  but you do have to edit your power preferences so your computer doesn't turn off after 2 hours of non use.  other than that, I don't know.

Check the AV cable ( should be the blue ended cable that attaches to the Computer Tower)\n\nmake sure that is connected sercurely, Try moving the mouse, some monitors have a power saving feature where they will dim to save power...To turn this off \n\nControl Panel > Power Options > There should then be a box about power saving on the monitor un tick it.\n\nAlso if your using a flatscreen monitor chances are that it is backlighted...This could be an indication that your backlight is on it's way out and you may need to replace it.

Okay.. so scratching the surface of my head here. the problem is realated to a power management feature of Windows (or any OS for that matter).  Simply put it just doesn't know that your hardware supports turning off the power. I think the fix for this is to open up your display properties windows. Select the screen saver tab, then click on the Power button.  This will bring up another window.  And i belever there should be an AMP or some other sort of tab that has a check box you can select to enable automatic poweroff at shut down....\nHope this helps a bit.

This can lead to two things.\n\n1.  Power supply is gone\n2.  BIOS is gone

I had this problem before, I fixed it by reseting the bios to it's defaults, unfortunately I never did find out exactly what bios setting was causing it though. You can take a look under the "power management" section of your bios and see if you can find it, or just do like I did and reset it to defaults.
