Automatic Shutdown

[Guest]

Unless the others who cannot get Vista to shut down, my machine shuts down
automatically after being idle for just a FEW (less than 5) minutes.

When I restart, I get the screen indicating that the shutdown wasn't "good"
and asking me to chose to boot normally or in safe mode.

After the restart, I can find nothing indicating why it shut down.

Any suggestions or help?

By the way, I should mention that I have changed my power
management/performance setttings to "Never", as in never shut off the
monitor, CPU, etc.

If your not getting a blue screen and it just goes from windows to straight
shutting down without it actually going through the motions of it shutting
down, it sounds like something inside could be overheating. If anything like
your processor, ram, or hard drive gets to a certain threshold the computer
will automatically shut down without warning. Now why it would do so with it
being idle beats me, but it could be a number of things if its just when it
goes idle.

Could you explain how exactly it shuts down...does windows tell you..does it
blue screen, or does it just power down?
