So we have a problem with our computer in class. It's randomly turning off, whether it's a Word document or a Flash game. My guess would be the PSU, but I'm not sure.

4 or 6 GB of RAM

Unknown GPU

Windows Multipoint Server 2011, with 10 thin clients

Athlon X2 for only 27.31$   Best part lists at different price points   Windows 1.01 running natively on an Eee PC

My rig:

Spoiler

Celeronator (new main rig)

CPU: Intel Celeron (duh) N2840 2.16GHz Dual Core

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz

HDD: Seagate 500GB

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Series

Spoiler

Knowing how schools are, it's entirely possible that it's so full of dust it can't cool itself properly.

Is the multipoint server going down or just one of the thin-clients?

The only thing we have to fear is... Stupidity...

Can the server just idle? No one logged into it through a thin client? How long can it do that for? Its possible that you have a failing PSU but I would be looking at other things as well. Overheating would be a major one. Possible hdd failing.
