About 30 minutes in my computer turns itself off.
Just like there was no power supply for less than even 1 second.
Any reasons?
It could be power at home, but in that case the tv would also have those failures and turn itself off.
It makes me a sad person help?

Is it plugged in properly? My PC was doing the same thing until I plugged a cord in properly (It was only slightly loose)

You sure PC and TV are on the same electric circuit?

At any rate, I seem to mention this a lot. Because usually it's a good shot:
.) computer or PSU dirty inside and overheating?
.) PSU getting old or weak?

I used http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php when I was having temperature issues; as far as I remember, it was free to download/use with no trial/shareware/other crap.

Try rearranging things on the outlet; computers are more finicky than televisions with small interruptions in power. Try with the TV not plugged in, and if you use a power strip then try directly plugged into the outlet (if possible). Tighten all connections, make sure everything's properly plugged in. Other than that, you may want to describe the situation a bit better.

Actually the issue could be that he is blocking the out-take duct on his computer as well.

Make sure your computer has circulation.

As well how hot is it in the room your using it?

I might have confirmed that it is the fault of procesor overheat.
Out-take duct... didn't think of it.
I might have to get a specialist to fix this.
Especially since the fan started to sound like rusty junk recently.

Get a can of compressed air, open up the case, and blow out all the dust and cat hair (er... you might not have a cat).  I would suggest you either do this outside, or right before you vacuum, because you can get a ton of dust and hair out of there.  Your fan is a brushless motor with sealed bearings, so it's unlikely to be permanently harmed by the buildup of stuff, so blowing it out should work.

You clearly are not an IT professional.

Whether or not the user has a cat doesn't really matter. There will be cat hair. Lots of it.

Best thing is to stick the nozzle of the hoover inside while you're blowing or brushing all that dust. Picks it right out of the air, doesn't give it a chance to sell onto other components.

...Did I really just type sell instead of "settle"? Damn you, Recettear!
