The computer shut down without warning. Reboots itself. Continues to do
this until you unplug the system. I have taken the tower to a local computer
store and had it reformatted. Still continues to shutdown, not as
frequently, however. I have and EmachineC2160. My operating system is XP
Home. HELP!
 
If your hard disk was in fact formatted, then everything on your hard disk
was erased and all your software was reinstalled from scratch.

If your computer shuts down without warning after a clean install, and
presuming that the computer operated without problems when you first turned
it on, then something you added to the computer, either hardware or
software, is not compatible with Windows. Your job is to determine what is
the offending hardware or software. This is normally done by a slow process
of elimination: Reverse each change that you made to the computer, one at a
time, until the problem stops.

To help yourself narrow down the possible cause, look at the entries in
Event Viewer, where you will find some details about the error(s).

...Your problem could also be cuased by a bad power supply, or a bad processor
fan that is causing it to overheat...Hope this helps...
