Mini Shuts Down - Turns Off - Heat Related Issue?

Good morning - after a few days of searching the discussions, I see there are a lot of issues with a single core mini NOT SHUTTING DOWN. My problem is that it WONT STOP SHUTTING DOWN. Various times, various durations. I tried all basic troubleshooting - plugs, peripherals, switch - you name it. Does not matter which program I am using either. Is anyone else having the same problems before I call Tech Support - or other troubleshooting tips. I find that when I call Tech Support and let them know I have tried some tips from the boards, they can help to solve the problem quicker. I forgot to mention that the only abnormality is that the power "block" - from the ac to computer does get pretty hot in a short period of time.

Have you tried resetting the SMC?

This solves problems such as telling the computer when to shut down.
It could also solve many other problems you could possibly have.

Thank you very much for the link. I had "almost" completed the process by unplugging an peripherals but never unplugged the power control. So I followed the instructions you provided and just started up again. It's a wait and see game right now but I will certainly get back to you tonight or tomorrow morning with any conclusions. Thanks Again.
