Power goes down after sometime.

Hi.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my friends pc.

However, after about half or nearly one hour, the box goes out of power and the monitor hangs with the same screen just before the power down.

And we have to restart by first powering down the UPS.


It is a DUAL BOOT system with WINDOWS 7 and it never happens in there. What is annoying me now is that my friend says, "This is the problem of Ubuntu".

I then installed Opensuse 11.2 but again the same thing happens with linux and not WIndows 7. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


Here are the specs of his system:

Motherboard: Intel DH55HC, Version: AAE70933-501, Serial No. - BTHC952006XS,
BIOS version: TCIBX10H.86A.0027.2009.1119.1517
BIOS ROM size - 1024 KB

Processor - Intel COre i5 CPU 661@ 3.33GHz
Processor speed - 3.325GHz

RAM - Kingston 2GB DDR3, 1333MHz

Ethernet - Intel 825780C Ethernet Device

Graphics Card - Zotac, Nvidia Geforce 9600Gt, GDDR3 (G94) 1GB

SMPS - Coolermaster, 500W

Hard drive - WDC . WD5000AAKS -00A7B2 ATA Device, 500GB.


Please suggest what should be done.
