To me it sounds like overheating of either the power supply, or the CPU. I'm sorry but I can't help you with the power supply diagnosis CPU overheating could be from myriad problems, sensors, logic board, fans, old dry thermal paste.

Thanks,

There are no Kernal Panics or such Screen output.

Nothing is logged in the system.log in Console.

The Energy / ScreenSaver settings are OK.

The power cuts out, just like the plug had been pulled, it is not a usual shutdown or timed logout sequence.
