Telly keeps switching itself off - why?

I've got a 28" widescreen Hitachi CRT TV, massive thing, not sure how old. It works fine except for turning itself off randomly about 3 or 4 times an evening. Sometimes it comes back on within seconds, sometimes it doesn't.

Is this a fault with the TV or could it be the electricity supply - power surges or something? I'd be grateful for any ideas.

    Something similar happened to our old TV. Ended up being one of the controller chips had become faulty.
