keeps shuttig down....PLEASE HELP!!!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

My pc keeps shutting down without any warning or anything and when I
try to switch on the cpu again, it doesn't even get

through the booting process. After sometime, when I try it, it works
for about 15 mins and then shuts down again. The

temps have been normal

cpu - 41
Ambient - 43
remote - 66
HDD - 43
temp1 - 41

Previously it used to restart/show the bluescreen. But, after some
days without any problems, now it just shuts down. It

can happen any moment now.

How can this problem suddenly occur? What do you think I should do? Is
it hardware or software related? Do you think

reinstalling xp should work? How will I reinstall if it keeps shutting
down every 15 mins???!!!

Please help!!!

Regards.
