I have a Dell Inspiron desktop at work that has worked perfect 24/7 since i got it. Monday when I came into work the computer was off. I didn't think much about it. I came in this morning and the computer was off again. It seems to be going off at night for some reason. Anyone got any suggestions that I can check out to trace down the problem? i.e. any software I can run on it to see if there is a problem? I know the first suspect would be the PSU, but aside from that? Anyway to tell what is just shutting it down?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Look in the Event Manager?
If there's no indication of a shutdown, I'd be looking at the PSU.

Did you mean PSU or was it actually connected to a UPS?
