Inspiron 600m randomly shuts off!!

I don't think it is overheating, with the fan program cpu temps are never going above 40, most of time at 34-35... hard drive temps are around 45-48... the computer can be completely still and plugged in... and will just randomly shut off.. if i carry it around it seems to be even more prone to shutting off..  it has been working flawlessly up until this point.. what in the heck is going on?

    Hmmmm, sounds like a loose connector or faulty board. Run the Dell diagnostics and see if it comes up with anything.

    I'd bet it's a loose screw or some other kind of metal piece loose in the case.  When you move it around it probably comes into contact with the mainboard and shorts it out, which would cause the computer to shut off.
