Sorry

You may need to bring your computer in to your local tech repair guy because it sounds like a pretty sever virus infection.
What sort of virus protection do you have?
-
Check your cooling fans....on the processor, and the video card/cards. If components overheat they will shut down the whole computer.
Also check for extreme lint buildup as that may cause overheating.

Either temperature on the processor or just some random virus.

YOu're definitely overheating if it takes longer to shut down the longer its off. Try putting a fam right next to the computer, see if it takes longer to shut down. If it does, then you need more fans in your case. Don't go for liquid cooling unless you have like, four video cards, it costs about 700 bucks.

Got a mini fan and it blows on the back of the computer and it has not gone off the whole day, thanks everyone(especially Condor)

You're welcome! :mrgreen:

Just one nitpick: you need to take off a zero for liquid cooling unless you're getting the unnecessarily expensive ones. Liquid cooling can cost anywhere between $45-90 depending on what you get for processors, and it's a bit cheaper than that for video card cooling.

DP BUMP(maybe IDK)
It's happening again. :rage

My computer did the same thing. Learned the power supply inside the computer was faulty and fried.
-
Is the fan INSIDE your computer working?
-
If you know what your doing go into the bios and see if you can start to manage the power to your CPU, if you can and if you know what your doing turn that setting on. I had a heating issue to and thats how I fixed it, now my com beeps at me now when it would BSOD. Its both annoying but funny at time's, sometimes my mom thinks were have a talk lol, anyway try to find out what hardware is to hot.
-
Again, if no BSOD, cooling, PSU, faulty memory or physically broken mobo.
If BSOD, software.

That is what my dad says i might ask him to get a new power supply or something.

No that is why i have the fan outside, but now it's not cutting it.

How is the CPU fan?

YOU NEED TO GET AN INTERNAL FAN BOUGHT AND INSTALLED ASAFP!

Meh. All I have fans on is my CPU and GFX card. Even though they are both overclocked, my computer does just fine.
It's probably the PSU or RAM. Most mobos beep when the temperature rises too much, THEN shut down.
To rule out the RAM, get a memtest86+ LiveCD.
