My Sony 32" Trinitron keeps turning itself off.It will turn back on but will shut its self off about 20-30 minutes later.

Before I blow $75 to have it looked at do any of you electronic wizards have any experience with this sort of thing and point me in the right direction.

Any Idea what the problem is and what it would cost to get fixed?

Arfcomers dont fail me now!!
