My brother's cpu, cpu fan, and hard drive randomly shuts off at random times, like I can get it to start to boot then the cpu and hard drive will shut off but other components will still have power, like the cd-rom drive doors will be able to open and close but the hard drive and cpu shut completely off.

I dont think i explained it well enough but if anyone can offer any suggestions it will be apprecaited. thanks
