I've been having problems with windows xp home edition. The past few weeks
only sometimes and sometimes its often my computer Shuts down without me
shuting it down.I'll be doing something and it just goes blank then i have to
click the button to turn it back on. It does not tell me its shuting down it
just does it. Can someone please help me?. I do all the updates so i just
dont know what to do. Can you please contact me by e-mail :

place for me to be asking for help.

Heat, power supply, come to mind. Could be a software
conflict. You can check the Event viewer by right clicking
My Computer and selecting Manage.

Just out of curiosity, is this a Gateway computer that's about 2 or 3 years
old?
