Well, I wanted and tried, but it did not work... It looked like it
downloaded (the process went through), but there never was an icon on my
desktop and there was no way to start it. There was no trace of it on my
machine... Isn't it sort of a Trojan or something I should be worry
about?

In the few weeks it happened twice: yesterday and 2-3 weeks ago.
Definitely, it's not frequently. Randomly, perhaps, since I could not
see
any pattern. Overheating is controlled by Intel Active Monitor and in
both instances there was no warning. Flaky RAM - have no idea what do
you
mean. May you please clarify this?
Thanks for your suggestions.

What causes this shut off?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

How often does the machine shut down? Randomly? If it is shutting
down
frequently and randomly, that points to hardware issues. The
culprit(s)
could be overheating, flaky RAM, bad power supply, etc. Here are some
general hardware troubleshooting steps:
