Specs of your computer??

Try looking at the temps by going into the bios once it has shut down. You can also turn off the automatic reboot feature of your pc to get a better idea of what is causing it to shut down. To do this, go to start and then run. Type in sysdm.cpl and hit ok. Click on the advanced tab, and under startup and recovery, click on settings. Under system failure, uncheck the box that says Automatically restart. Now when the computer reboots, we will at least have an idea where to start.

you mean to say that you are still having the same problem even after removing the check from "automatically restart"?

Do you get any error messege before or after your computer restarts?

Which browser are you using? Internet explorer,Netscape Nevigator or Firefox?
