My computer keeps shutting off.
Every 10-20 minutes. What should I be looking for to fix it?

power supply, but get a can of compressed air first and blow it out and make sure the fan is working; could just be overheating.

Make sure that the processor fan is running and the heat synch is not full of fuzz

I opened the case for the first time in like 2 years. I got all the dust and shit out of there and cleaned out the processor fan. Seems to be fine now.
