You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

There are four main reasons for this problem;
1. Power problem.
2. some hardware is creating problems
3. Procesor is getting stuck.
4. Problem with mother board.
Windows XP have a builtin option when it feels danger for computer, it turns off your computer to save from further damage.

Buy a power supply which with a higher wattage.
Does this happen when you're using a lot of cpu or your playing games?
If the power spikes theres a circuit that automatically shuts off your computer.

I can only think of 2 things that would cause this:
1st: Bad PSU ((power supply))
2nd: CPU over heating. If it's an Intel CPU, the max temp would be 65C. This is were the it starts to throttle its self down and shuts the system down. To protect its self from over heating.
Dont no much about AMD though! Sorry

It's possible that you have Windows Update installed (you will see this in your system tray on the bottom right corner near the clock). If there is an update to Windows, it will automatically download it for you and sometimes will need to reboot in order for the changes to take effect. You can modify the WU settings, but it's safer for your computer to keep it on and be updated automatically.

Your CPU might be heating up and your fan isnt cooling it down like it should. also do sit it flat on the surface. Try and elevate the back by half an inch, to keep the air circualting.

It's overheating. Get a can of compressed air, and blow accumulated dust off the heat sink. Do this once a week.
