unexpected shutdown

[elias finney]

Hi,

I have the same problem as Stephanie does. Computer
shutdown and starts again, only mine onely does it if I'm
using a program like microsoft word or playing a game. It
doesn't shutdown when I'm on the internet. I check in Task
Manager and the process tab. "msblast.exe" isn't there.
Can you help? Programs shutdown after being used for about
10 minutes. Thanks Elias

This could be caused by overheating. Run the computer open and observe
all fans. Be sure dust isn't stopping air flow. Do a RAM check. If
hardware diagnosis isn't your thing, then take the box to a good local
computer repair shop (not a CompUSA/BestBuy type of store).
