Why does my power go out sometimes?

Generally, the power goes out for two reasons; a circuit breaker or fuse is tripped in your home, or the power lines themselves are affected. If the power has gone out just in your house, or some items are working but some aren’t, it’s a sign that the cause is somewhere in your electrical system.

And you said it won’t come back on. As others have hinted, it sounds as though there is an appliance coming on at certain times and tripping it. Next time this happens and you can’t get it to come back on, try turning off all the breakers. Then, turn on the main (it should stay on when everything else is off).

Why does my computer power on and then immediately turns off?

Motherboard issue. The last thing to check would be the motherboard; however, this can be rather difficult since the issue could be just about anywhere in the circuitry.
