Hi there,
I have a notebook that had the same symptoms. It was the cooling system. The CPU was getting overheated and on its attempt to save energy and heat it slowed down. Of course if I was pushing my computer too mcuh it was shutting down by itself. Maybe it is the same case.

You might have to many things runnin in ur back ground try turning things off u dont want or use heres how Click on the start button and select run.
In the text box type msconfig and click ok.
Once the window has loaded, click on the startup tab and uncheck programs you do not want to start up anymore. Also u might try cleaning out ur temp folder ur cache and ur prefetch folder! My suggestion is: open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete all files (or at least those more than 3 weeks old), reboot. I recommended that you do this every month. Good luck!

There could be a Virus/bug in it. When my computer has done that in the past i have restored it back a week and then it works fine. Good Luck.

Maybe you have spyware on it, like winfixer which is so hard to get off! Why not run a virus check yano one of those scans, is your computer even protected firewall etc?

try remove unused program..
change your anti virus to 'low resources'..
last:
try re install your windows..
the most answer to why is: windows keep trash on drive and registry.. thats why you need regulary reinstalling windows to keep fresh and fast..
