My 2 cents,
Visually inspect the mainboard, if there are no swollen or leaking
capacitors then replace the PSU.

Hi Szemir,
Thanks for your reply. Perhaps "shutdown" is not the right word. What
happens is not "graceful"!
The screen goes black and the PC just dies!

I think you may have a full / <<root partition or a full /home

don't think a faulty psu would result in a graceful shutdown. A psu
taking
the power-good signal away might result in a graceful shutdown, but
not in
case power is really not good :-)
Also a shorted out / stuck reset button can result in a graceful
shutdown.
Knowing your system i would go for the full partition option first.
Cheers
