Help needed folks,
My computer keeps switching itself off, no particular timescale or for any particular reason.
It is a right pain in the ar5e as I manage to lose everything I am doing (not much apart from this site).
I have checked the connections, they are ok.
The system is via blueyonder broadband connection so therefore is constantly on.(When it wants to).
I am shortly going to take a lumphammer to it.
Your suggestions greatly appreciated.
Mike.

Thanks folks,
I think it was the virus that has been going round.
The other post that I have been cross referred to contains all relevant details.
Managed to fix it by going to microsoft and downloading the virus fix.
BIG THANKS to everyone that has helped, and it may be worth downloading it just in case.
Mike.
