My computer had started shutting down suddenly and unexpectedly for no
apparent reason. This has happened while programs were running and also when
nothing is running but the web browser (while online)

I have tried searching the Microsoft knowledge base but can't find anything.

Can anyone give me some ideas as to how to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks
