Mac mini keeps turning off

This started today/last night and I have no idea what's up.

I usually keep my mac always on and I have it set to auto sleep after an hour or so. Last night I went to bed and when I woke up this morning the mac was completely off, no sleep light, nothing. I turned it on then and it worked fine.

Then I left for work, came back a few hours later and off again. Weird... I turned it on again, went to boil some water, and it was off when I came back a few minutes later.

This time I turned it on and used it for a while, but it was fine...for a bit. Then after 10 minutes or so it just shut off again without any warning.

I already reset the PRAM and the SMC but I'm not sure what's causing this.

It's a mac mini 1.66 core duo, almost 4 years old and been on for most of that time. I also checked the power and all the cords, everything was snug. I just can't figure it out...Any ideas? Thanks :D
 
If it was the fan I'd guess it would have shut off while he was using it.:(

Definately seems weird though.
