Re: Random shut offs
Unearth,
What is the make/model of this PC? Is it a laptop? If so, are you running on AC power or battery?
The symptoms you describe seem like a power management issue. Windows has built-in power management features designed to conserve power by shutting down devices when they're not being used or after a period of inactivity. This is primarily useful on laptops running on battery power. Unfortunately, these power management features don't always work very well depending on the hardware/drivers your using.
The random nature of this issue concerns me - so I'm not ruling out malware or some other underlying problem.
Please reply with the info requested and hopefully I can better assist you with this issue.
- John
