Format your harddisk and install all software again.

Your computer shutting itself off can be a symptop of 4 things.\n1. Windows power saving settings. This is unlikely to be the problem if you are using the machine.\n2. You're on a laptop that has run out of battery life. Trying using only your power adapter.\n3. You may have a defective motherboard, processor, memory RAM, video card, or powersupply. My suggestion is to always start with the cheapest to the most expensive. I'd try replacing your Power Supply with one of quality with sufficient wattage(not the cheapest power supply you can find). I have found that AMDs are more sensative to power flucutations as when CD-ROM drives and Harddrives spin.\n4. The mostly like possiblity is overheating. As mentioned on here, most new motherboards have a temperature threashold that will automatically shutdown your PC if it gets too hot. I suggest making sure you have sufficient air circulation (cool air coming in from the front, passing over your motherboard, and out through the rear exaust). You should have a quality heatsink attached with thermal paste (helps avoid heat pockets being trapped between the processor and heat sink). On the heatsink you should have a fan that is clean of dust and rotating at its proper top spead. \n\nAnything else is just random and rare cases.

Hi,\n\nTo me it seems a RPC problem.\nTo resolve this -\n\nGo to CONTROL PANEL -> ADMINISTRATIVE OPTIONS -> SERVICES\n\nAnd find an entry begining with RPC (Remote Procedural Calls)\n\nIn the properties window, go on to RECOVERY tab. In the action combo box, select "Take no action"\n\nNow click OK and shutdown.\n\nI guess there should be no problem.\n\nIf the problem continues, please verify if any softwares running in the background need Internet for connection. In that case, type MSCONFIG at Start Button -> RUN. Uncheck everything at Startup.\n\nSee if this helps.\n\nCheers!

There are softwares using which you can set timers to shut down, restart or hibernate your computer. But I don't know whether there is a software to automatically start it. \n\nHave a look at the link below. I use that software and it is very useful for downloading large files. You can set a timer to automatically shut down(restart, log off, etc etc.) the computer or disconnect your internet after the download is complete.

Not all computers have a restart button. A few micro atx cases I have seen dont have one. Boy if you haven't ever restarted a computer, you might be in for a surprise when it does restart..all sorts of stuff can happen if software was installed. So uh there is a box at the bottom left of the screen in XP that says START. Then a little red box at the bottom of that which says TURN OFF COMPUTER. Then a little green button that says RESTART.

the computer turns off, because you might be eitehr using MS windows 2000 or MS Windows XP service pack 1 which had lot of errors. USe MS_windows XP Service PAck 2 for the computer to run better. Hope it solves your problem, enjoy.

shut down and return?\nOr leave your computer on and return? It could be a whole host of problems. Thats not enough information to really go on.

When this will happen. Will it happen when you run a paricular program...\nIf its happening all the time then its because your cpu is getting heated up.\nGo to bios in that go temperature settings. There you can uncheck auto reboot if you don't want that to happen.\nBut it is recommended

Sounds like your processor is over heating...that will definitely shut down your computer.

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

Your PC is shutting off, because you have two or more Anti-virus programs installed and they are not compatible.\nYou need \n1 Ad-Aware\n2Anti-virus\nand a good firewall

Go to Run and type shutdown -a . This will stop the shutdown sequence. However this is not the definite solution because it will pop up the next time you start your computer. It seems you have a Blaster worm that triggers this event. Update your PC to SP2 and the problem will be solved.

I found that Dwin.exe relates to a M$ hotfix in kb821253.\nThis is due to a new feature added to the error reporting. I found it in my system.ini which in conclusion it coincides with the dwin.exe file.\n\nIf thats not the problem: I researched a few other tech websites with people having the same problem and those techies told them to search for what programs/services are running before you shutdown. Possibly shut off all things running in the startup tab on msconfig just for trouble shooting purposes.\n\nStart->Run-> type: Msconfig <enter>\nGoto the Startup Tab\nchoose disable all\nreboot.\n\nboot back up to windows and shutdown, see if you still have the error or you can narrow it down to what software/desktop enhancement it can be related too.\n\nIf its not anything in your startup go ahead and turn them back on.\n\nHere is a list of services you can go by that what you might want to try in your Quest if you should accept it.\nStart->Run->Type: Services.msc <enter>\nhttp://theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm#Services\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

Yeah...sounds like a shutdown virus has been downloaded onto your PC. But before you go that route, have you checked if the fan is running well? At times the fan may not be working so well, which may cause your PC to overheat and shut down. But if you do have a virus, you should just google 'Shutdown virus' and see if there are any anti-virus files available. Good luck!

Well there could be many reasons for this.  One is that you have so many processes running that it takes Windows a lot of time to shut them all down - and/or that one or more of them become non-responsive.  If it is this, then all you'd have to do is wait and it will either eventually shut down or give you the "End Process" screen one or more times.  \n\nIt could also be that your shutdown script got corrupted, somehow, and aborts.  This could be from the reason below.\n\nOne other possibility is that your computer has been infected with a virus that interferes with the shut down process.  \n\nMy suggestion is to try it from Safe Mode (if it shuts down that is).  If it does, get current versions of a few antivirus programs, Adaware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, reboot in Safe Mode and scan with all of those programs.  You should also invest in a good registry cleaner program and run it regularly - believe it or not, your problem could originate from a single registry problem.
