Make sure it isn't overheating. Run the bios settings when the machine boots, then watch the temperature of the CPU / Mobo / case and make sure it doesn't get too hot. Also, make sure the CPU fan is running.

Pray it is under warranty and call the manufacturer.

Because electronics fail. Nothing is fail proof. Do some research on the mobo and see if there have been similar problems.
