How many times do i have to say this, USE SYSTEM RESTORE, no formating necessary

System sometimes developes driver problems even without updating or changing drivers, its happended to me before.

Sorry my fault didnt read all the posts .

If the prob is driver related you could remove one device at a time from your system, boot up windows and see if you have the same prob again (you will also need to remove driver of that device). If the prob stops then you would have identified you culprit. Once this happens you can reinstall the device and driver.

From my experience probs like this are caused by video cards and modems, so you could try removing them first (one at a time)

bad thing is the problem happens like twice a day...so trial and error would be boring

I think you should install some system restore software, if you have xp its built-in. System restore eliminates so many probs, including virus infections, driver instability etc.

I have a few questions for you -

1) does the computer heat up before it shut down?
2) have you overclocked your processor ?

The reason i asked is my friend bought a computer form a local dealer about 2 years ago. It worked fine for a few weeks, then all on a sudden it would heat up and the computer automatically shutdown unexpectedly. So we took it back and got it replaced.

The reason it did this was because the dealer was a bit doggy, they overclocked the proccessor slightly and sold it as a quicker system. Overclocking makes your system unstable.

If i were you i would take the case off and check the proccessor to see if its a genuine 18000, thats if its visible.
