U sure you've switched off the power saving options?
No changes and that would shut windows down first, not just cut off power to the comp.
No, actually Pav is right. I had the same several weeks ago, where the computer would just suddenly freeze for a few seconds and suddenly the power would be cut off immediately, with no option to bring it back. As it turns out this was because of the power saving options (thank god I have an IT guy in my house).
Why has this only changed in the last 7 days then? I've changed absolutely nothing in the power sharing panel????
Edit: Switched to Max performance, see if that does anything.
EditEdit: Didn't do any good at all. Looks almost certain to be a borked PSU.
Lets sum it up:
-Broken PSU
-Something overheating (Is the airflow in order?)
-Something short-circuiting (lose components inside case?)
-Something in the BIOS maybe (Try returning it to default settings)
To a lesser extent:
-Faulty RAM modules
-Something, yet, unknown software related.
Could you show me a pic that shows me your PC's voltages?
EDIT: Also, what kinda PSU do you have. I sure as hell hope it aint Zalman, those things have a tendency to break down just after warranty (makes one think they did it on purpose)
