My Mac Pro suddenly turns off

Hi,

I have an Mac Pro 8 core in my music studio. It is having a problem these days: suddenly it turns off.
When I try to restart , it can't restart. I have to wait about five or more minutes to it be able to turns on again.
Would you have any idea what this problem should be?

MacPro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

We have one here that is doing the same thing - only a few months old. The user turned it on this morning and started checking email. About 10 minutes later, it just shut down. This is the 3rd time it's happened.

I just reset the SMC... We'll see what happens.
