Sometimes my computer just turns off all of a sudden!! I think it may be overheating!!! What should I do? Should I keep a fire extinguisher by my computer at all times or what?

It just cuts off? Sounds like a woman from middle Georgia explaining what happened to her car. There's gotta be something. Check internal cables, cables to the surge protector, anything like that.
Check power options in the BIOS, in case something's turned on in their that shouldn't be.
I've heard of computer's shutting down after the BIOS reads a certain temp., and while you're in there you'd find out.
If it's heat and you only gotta fan in the back and on the cpu, get one in the front. And make sure there's holes in the front of your computer for correct air flow (sounds dumb, doesn't it? It's true though).
