Try to boot into safe mode and then run a good antivirus program many which are free. To get to safe mode, hit f8 a few times after turning computer on. Maybe you accidently enabled your hibernate button, go to control panel and power options to disable or change.
Could also be a memory problem, make sure memory is not loose as this could cause a memory dump which sometimes shuts off computer if you have it set to do so.

run a scan for the worm or virus- is it on sleep mode by any chance// sometimes that button gets hit but shuts off the comp or monitor?? if it is just monitor it is shot.. type in search w32/IRbot then .. check ur windows keyloggers. . run the lavasoft thingy too..

Need more information ... when does it turn off? When it boots up? When you're playing a game? When it's just sitting idle?
What happens just before it shuts down, do you get any error messages?

It could be pirated hardware. My buddy installed a new video card in mine from another computer and it does the same thing. Oh, that reminds me, I still gotta smack him upside his head.

By turning off.... if it just plain shuts off , and doesn't take the procedures it should when you select shut down, it could be hardware, overheating, etc...
