Daseal, your desktop randomly shutting down actually sounds more like a motherboard issue. Is it also a Dell? We work on about 15,000 Dell desktops, mainly Optiplexes, and whenever one of them shuts down it's almost always the motherboard. A particular problem is a capacitor that blows, which is easy to spot.

Maybe you can take the palmrest plastics off of your laptop and have the keyboard attached but not secured to the motherboard to take a look at where the noise is coming from. This is assuming of course that your warranty is expired.

Have fun!
