hi ansilesh
If the power light is steady amber - The computer is receiving
electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.
Ensure that the microprocessor power cable is securely connected to the
system board.
it might also be a failed mainboard already since you are experiencing a blackout.
hope this helps

It has intel 8286G Chipset and a nividia GeForce FX5200(256mb) agp graphics card on an 8x agp slot the psu fan and cpu fan is also checked.But on the day when problem started I lifted the heat sink on the chipset does it effect any thing and then I put the heat sink is back on its position over the chipset.
Thanks Brian for your time and help al the things u mentioned above seem to work fine.I too my pc to a technician in computer market and left it with him for a while he did some thing and told me that main chip is heating more than usual.Now it run fine enough as it used to turn off after every 10 minutes and never started before a half n hour.The technician said to me that the problem cannot be fully repaired and now as I was running windows vista32-bit.I decided to reinstall it so when windows was loading files it again turned off and next time when i started it same message was displayed "the last shutdown was due to thermal event".Then I opened the casing and tried installing the windows again and nothing happened but the pc seemed to be much slower than before so i downgraded to windows Xp but still I cannot play youtube videos in fullscreen in 480p the video is left behind and sound goes on.If any ideas please write thanks in advance.

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions EIDE SATA
the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure dust free connections and are not faulty
computers need power and data to travel through every working device and to continue its cycle and to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error
your graphics card drivers might need to be updated
if your computer came with a motherboard disk the drivers could be on it
otherwise you will need to download them
Click start control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll to display adapters + to expand you might see a yellow question mark ? or exclamation mark ! or a red x right click select reinstall drivers
even if you dont see any yellow or red marks right click to update drivers
you might have to remove your graphics card to make sure the socket is clean
restart your computer the reinstall it this should activate found new hardware wizardhttp://download.cnet.com/dell-optiplex-g...
if prompted to go to an external site cick to go to external site
click start control panel,display,desktop you can select a different desktop from the drop down list
or a browse button where you can select different pictures this may vary depending on your operating system
also you can change the settings for more or less pixels or from the drop down list pick the appropriate level of color range or troubleshoot also select advanced then general dpi normal size,larger size or custom settings
always click APPLY after making any changes
Thanks Brian Sullivan I have bought a new motherboard at last and it works fine thank you for all your help.
