Tv Picture Fades And Shuts Off.

Just before the set shuts off, the picture (which is normal) fades to dark screen with a balloon shape image of varying colors appearing and goes blank. It happens sometimes after just being on for a few minutes, and sometimes after operating for an extended time.  Either way, I can turn it on again without difficulty to a normal quality picture. Just can't predict how long it will stay on.  Is it most likely the picture tube or power supply or other failing component?
