My computer shutsdown without warning, running XP Home Edition
 |
I have been having trouble with my computer for the past week. I can be in the middle of something and all of a sudden it shuts itself down and restarts, any help or ideas how to fix this would be great.

Sounds like you may have Sasser Virus:-

Have you patched your PC against this?

Are you playing a game when it restarts?

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

save it locally and run it to dissinfect sasser.
After that patch your pc from the following location, so you will not be re-infected:-
