Generally this happens b'se of virus,spyware,adware,registery corruption and other software failure of windows important files, try cleaning viruses first with an antivirus such as norton or macaffee, if this dont work try reinstalling windows .

Depending on your PC, you might want to go into the event viewer under the System log to see if it is running any errors.  Depending on your PC, there might be hard drive diagnostics that you can run.  Clicking does not give me a warm fuzzy.  Good luck.

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.

Did you send the error report that is generated to Microsoft?\nIf not, do that first and see what Microsoft tells. \nMost Likely Culprits are:\n\n1. BIOS version (Maybe you need to update?)\n2. Hardware incompatibility ( Added any new hardware recently?)\n3. Uncertified Drivers?   \n4. A Boot Virus?

Go to  control panel/system/advanced tab/startup and recovery box/settings button/ sytem failure/ and   then uncheck  "restart on system failure" ( take the check out of automatically restart box )  , and then  check the "Write a system event", and the "Admin alert" boxes (check "send admin alert")  and  the next time it randomly turns off,  you should get a blue screen with white text, which will have code info.   Write down the exac Stop Error Code and put  that exact error into the google search box to see what info you get,  and/or  post that exact error here in this thread \n Also go to your device manager (devmgmt.msc) and check the properties  and look for anything suspicious and check that the settings are where they should be.

Take a look through the troubleshooting section in the link below.\n\nIf that still doesn't help, you can try searching usenet (groups.google.com, or contacting Microsoft support directly

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

System has stopped because of a failure or a security action.

this can happen for many reason like corrupted file, add-ons problem, you can re-install IE (always update and use latest version of IE)\nand turn off that error reporting\ngo to\ncontrol panel - > system - > Advanced (tab) - > Error Reporting - >Disable Error Reporting-> Apply

Simple answer: Yes.\n\n\nA little more complex answer: If you screwed with your registry without knowing what you are doing, do yourself a favor and reinstall windows.  Registry can and will cause a computer to go into shutdown.  If you want to go through some ahssel, try to do a system restore to take you back to before this problem happened

There may be a problem with security settings or OLE file permissions not setup, or setup right.  You should turn the feature off from the control panel.  Then reboot and turn it back on.  Then reboot again and try it.  If you still get the error message then you may need to reinstall your system.\n\nAlso, make sure that the bios is not interferring with the power/Hiberbation control. \n\n\n\nRegards,\n\n\nb

You are probably shutting it down when you still have some programs running. Close all programs by yourself before shutting it down.

This issue normally comes up, when your programs are not compatible with the older version of windows files that are already installed.\n\nGet a latest service pack of windows and install it and the error will go away.\n\nFor example: if you are using win 2k, install service pack 4 or if you are using win xp, install xp service pack 2.
