My computer is shutting down by itself randomly. Usually I hear the hard drive spur up and then it shuts down. Any work I was doing is lost and once it does happen I cannot get computer to stay on for more than 30-40 seconds before it shuts down again. If I leave it alone for 10 -15 minutes it works fine for some time until it shuts down again and the process starts over. Very annoying and I need help please.

Do you mean it shuts down compeltely or it reboots ? You have to give more info than that and also your OS..so letst start here with these steps so it can be isolated between a harware or software problem..




First do these steps
