AUGH!!!

My computer won't stay on for even five minutes at a time, now. It powers itself off spontaneously. It's done it four times this morning, and I'm going NUTBAR!

I think I'll stomp around and skulk a little, now.

Have you tried checking the temperatures in the BIOS? My first thought when I hear of a computer shutting down after N minutes is that something's gone wrong with the cooler (most likely the fan's died) and it's overheating.

Checked, and ruled out.

Bad power supply?

(At least, that is what my troubleshooting book says.)

Woah. What's under this one? If it's the same as what's on my f/page, I will declare you a STALKER. Or a MIND READER. Or maybe as COOL AS ME.
Or none of the above.
