PC shutting down.

[DEFENDER01]

HI
I have a xp home media which shuts down and restarts.
this happens at irregular times it may go weeks no problem then whil
browsing or running programs it will just shut down instantly an
restart.

when it shuts down the screen goes black and restarts as if i wa
starting it from scratch then runs normally.
this only happens now and then and may go weeks before doing the sam
thing again.
Thanks for any help

When you say "Shuts down" does it actually go thru the shut down process
or does the screen just go black immediately and the system reboot?
