Answer 1

If this is a desktopsystem, you shouldn't be using standby or hibernate...those are features designed for laptops & notebooks, not desktops.

As for your random shutdown issue, it could be due to overheating or your power supply may be failing. When's the last time you opened the case & blew out the dust?

Answer 2

your cpu core tempature is rising beyond the limit that causes the cpu to heat up alot and finally shutdown...its not good..go change your cpu fan immediately before it creates more problem...this time get a more compatible fan..

Answer 3

download hwmonitor, check the temperature if it's then 70 C then it's too hot
