It sounds like you have your computer set to go into Suspend Mode when it hasn't been used in a while.
If you have Windows XP go to the start menu, then go to control panel, then power settings, then change system hybernation to never and system standbye to never and it should clear things up,
If it's not that then it could be a bad power supply or the outlet you are plugged into is not giving the computer enough power and the computer shuts down to protect itself.
I hope this helps

Maybe your computer requires to shut down after the download so it can work. My computer does the same thing but it gives me a warning that is going to need to shut down after the download. Read read read your messages.

Maybe you need to free up some space on your harddrive by deleting old files to make room for the new downloaded ones.
Try emptying your cache aswell. For more infomation on this you can check out my website that I have put below

You might be overheating or your power supply might be going bad. Download SpeedFan to check your temps and voltages.
