    Well, I believe it would be difficult to answer without knowing the OS. 😀

    I have never noticed such problem with Mac.

    Actually, the situation normally happens when you've automatic updates enabled. Once the update is installed, Windows normally needs a restart.

    It does, but there is usually a message that asks whether to restart now or later 😛 I'd be kinda pissed if the updates restart my computer without my permission.

    Yeh, and it always shows "Shutting down in 4 minutes" 😡 . Especially when I'm streaming Dilbert Cartoons on YouTube 😉.

    Oh, I didnt realise there is a countdown timer. Perhaps thats a feature of Vista only? 😛

    Ya know, I didnt know there were dilbert cartoons 😛 I've only ever read the comics! Damn, I'm going to be super addicted to watching it now.

    Sorry Miniy for hijacking your thread 😛 We'll be waiting for your response, though. Please list out what OS you use as well as your computer specifications just in case.

    Okay, we'll now try to guess the OS on your system.

    Windows XP (SP2) - I say. What do you say, ash? 😁

    may be this a hardware issue, like on-off switch, keyboard. Check your keyboard's key and on/off switch also.

    Sounds like a fault either in the hardware - faulty motherboard

    or overheating - a fan has blown somewhere...

    How long does it run before switching off? Is it the same length of time each time?

    I had a system switch off repeatedly after 20 minutes. Turns out a PSU fan had blown and the heat in the case had no where to go.

    I replaced the fan, no bother now.

    Source(s):

    Try this as well.

    Click on START. Right-Click on My Computer and select Properties.

    In the System Properties window, select the ADVANCED tab.

    On the Advanced window, uncheck the box marked "Automatic Restart".

    Now when your computer goes to close down, it may produce a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) with information in white letters about possible causes.

    Make a note of the numbers and Google for them. You may find there's a fault that is easily tackled.

    Hey, I think its a Virus. Do you have any other problem, like is your Windows task manger disabled.. or is the system excessively slow..?
