Constant shutdowns

My computer keeps doing what appears to be some sort of shutdown, about every 10-15 minutes. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, the screen goes black and the monitor to 'off mode', but the thing is still running. Nothing will get it back aside from pressing the reset switch. I did nothing around the time it began that would cause it.

Check your power supply on another computer if you can.

I know this sounds odd, but the first time it happened was when I set a new wallpaper, and it's done it ever since.

try removeing the wallpaper or doing a system restore to a date before you made the change

This is just one of many problems I've encountered since the very second I put my 9800 Pro in 2 weeks ago. I'll give the system restore a try if it will stay running long enough.
