Are the failures power related, or is the system just shutting down on its own?
If the latter, I would suspect either a power supply or a processor fan. If the former, maybe you need to invest in an inexpensive UPS.
I do have a UPS, and it's fully charged. The system is just spontaneously rebooting or shutting down.
My first guesses would be the system power supply or the CPU fan.
I've changed the PSU for a better one, but it may have been not the PSU at all. While fitting the new one my hand brushed against a sata cable, which came unplugged. The connector had cracked. I've replaced that too.
