My computer randomly shuts down instantly. It even happens sometimes in the bios. And sometimes it runs for days under load without any problem.

I checked and it is not a temperature issue.

What I'm wondering is if it's somehow possible to log what caused the instant shutdown. I was thinking that only the motherboard could log it since sometimes it even happens when in the bios.

My motherboard is an Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1.

The motherboard will not keep logs like this.

This sort of failure could be caused by RAM though. Run memtest from http://www.memtest.org/ overnight and see if it throws up errors.

The other thing it's likely to be is a power supply on its way out, but this is harder to test without installing a spare.

Outside of that, you could see if there's an updated BIOS you could flash.
