I have a HP D530 thin client PC with only a sound card changing it from the standard spec.

P4 2.5gHZ
512Mb RAM
180Gb SATA2 hdd
DVD/RW Rom

Over the past couple of days the machine has just been switching off at random moments, but not exactly switching off, the monitor will switch off and the power to the PC will remain on, but I will have to manually switch it off and back on to get it working again.
I tested to see if it was the monitor by playing music, once it did turn off the music stopped so there is something the matter other than that.

When it does switch off, the HDD led turns off, but the power led stays on, my infrared mouse stays on also.

Anyone got any ideas? It has only just started happening, I have tried another HDD and same thing occured. Could it be the main board and the VGA port?

Temp readings on Everest read:
Tsystem 37oC
Taux 45oC
(Whatever they mean!)

Speedfan read them at:
CPU -128oC
Local 41oC
Remote 2 49oC
HD0 52oC

Well the temps are now in the 60's...

What could cause this?

I have cleaned the machine for dust etc and stuck another little fan on the HDD for extra cooling.
