Hi Everyone, this is stranger than fiction, but I have resolved the problem of my computer shutting down. It happened by accident. The keyboard was the problem. I don't know why this is so, but when I changed keyboards, the problem went away. As soon as I hooked up that keyboard to another PC that I knew had no problems, it would suddenly start randomly shutting down, especially on Secure sites. I have 3 PC's all networked, and 2 of them shared the same keyboard, mouse and screen. So far so good. It's been over a week now and no problems.
I have no idea so to why a keyboard should cause the problem.

it probably has a power/ sleep button on it. if it is a particulrly flash board, it might have been having a major driver conflict. just some thoughts. try installing it on another pc without using the cd.
