Based on the little amount of info, I can only guess that this is a Heat related issue?
Try running the PC with the side of the case off, so that there is more ventilation. While you have it open make sure that all/any fans are running properly and unobstructed by any wires or ribbon cables, etc.

Boot into safe mode. A bad driver or program trying to startup may cause this. It may also be a bad power supply. I had a similar problem with my computer randomly turning off and it was the power supply.
