How long have you had the computer?

not long by the looks of it...

If your computer suddenly just shuts down, when idle, or in use and it does not generate a BSOD, DR Watson, Freeze up, or leave any thing in the Event Log (right click My Computer, Select Manage and look at the System Event Log)...if it mysteriously shuts down...suspect:

1) Excess Heat
2) A bad power supply
3) Damaged motherboard (have you taken a power hit recently? it really shortens the motherboards life--something called heat stress can slowly cause short circuits on the pcb)

Also agree with DdogG a flaky driver can cause problems, but you might get a hint in the system Event log or in device manager if the driver is causing problems
