Yeah, probably since I did more tests and was able to reproduce it after 
about 30 minutes. Here is what I noticed so far:

PC & its top fan and its light turns off, but its power light stays 
still on. Reset button didn't work, but power button did (turned on).

Tried:
-after 30 minutes on C: drive only with ATI video card's fan forced at 
100% speed.
-after about 32 mins. after 5 am when cooler
-tried without screen saver and display sleep
-no crashes in quick scan

I am going to try Prime95, Memtest86, etc.

It might be heat related since the weather is hot. :(
