HP m8226x turns off during start up

I have HP m8226x in its original configuration. The computer suddenly turns off and when I try to restart it, it turns off. During the reboot, when I choose the option "start the computer normally", it just turns off. Then, I usually try to restart it several times and at some point it finally starts and stays on for couple of days. Any ideas why this would happen? Please help.

How long have you had this computer? What were you doing/ what had you changed just before this started happening? Do you get any beep codes upon trying to restart it?
