Can anyone think of a reason why Windows XP should repeatedly and suddenly shut itself down at random? It has been doing it to me all evening, sometimes almost as soon as I boot up, and sometimes after I have been online for a while, looking at my e-mail and Friends Lists. It does it particularly if I run Spybot Search and Destroy and does it just as Spybot is about to fix problems. It did this even when I ran Spybot while Windows was in Safe Mode.

I need to stress that this is a full Windows shutdown with saved settings, not just my machine closing down.

I tried updating Windows, but that didn't help.

I had exactly the same problem a while ago. I downloaded Windows anti virus over and over and kept at it until I got a reboot in there before it shut down by itself. Seemed to have worked.

I think it is all by guess and by golly tho. Does sound worm like. Ugh.

Do you have Geek Squad there?

Yes, if you get really desperate, try Geek Squad. They're very good.
