[comp.sys.cbm] Works then dies

I have a C-64 which when you turn it on, works fine for (5-30) min and then
suddenly turns off.  When this happens, the red power light goes off, although
the switch is in the on position.  I checked the temp. of the power supply
when this happens, and it is still cool.  

Anyone have an idea whats wrong ?

It is almost certainly the power supply, especially since the red
indicator light goes out. The degree of hotness of the p.s. is no
sure way to tell if it is working right.
