This is usually a problem with the power button. Visit cubeowner.com forums for more info.

Yes, this is probably it. I solved this problem with my Cube by taping a piece of paper inside the enclosure right under the touch surface of the power button.

I also had a problem like that with my cube and the ADC display. Whenever the ADC display was attached it would randomly shut down, if I had another monitor plugged in, it wouldn't. To fix it, I disabled the power button in the display prefs (under the options tab).
