PC Keeps shutting off

I have a Compaq nc6000 which randomly shuts off. It can be turned on again but after a lenghthy boot up process, it continue to shut off. It doesn't do it daily but it will seem to do it 5 or 6 times a day when it does. After, it might be fine for a week or two.

Any chance it is just the fan not working well and overheating the system?

Re: PC Keeps shutting off

if you turn off the automatic reboot, does it show why it reboots?
