Either some system files are corrupt or you have a Virus preventing you from using your system.
Safe: Format and reinstall Windows, you can also backup and then format .
Free Anti-Virus: AVG, Avast.
Even Overheating can shut it down. So do keep the computer in a Air Conditioned room or a room having a fan.

First off we need to know what kind of Programs your running, what kind of system it is and all that but with out all that information My best guess would be a power supply problem, possibly a surge protector problem. at Four years old you'd be well off to take it in to get it repaired and see what they say, or go buy a new computer.

Well your computer is 3-4 years old. . .so it has probably been used pretty well. Also it may have a virus especially if you download many things from sites you dont know. If I were you I would invest in buying a newer model.
GOOD luck!!

Most likely, the power supply is dying. It can be replaced rather easily though. Might cost a few hundred dollars for parts and labor unless you want to perform the surgery on your own.

Probably video card, or overheating.
Update your drivers. If your not sure how, look it up. Most common computer crashes are from unupdated drivers.
If the drivers are up to date and you still have a problem, air clean your computer inside and out of dust, and make sure all the fans are working.

Hi. Usually either overheating or a marginal PSU. Clean the dust out first.

Do you run your computer for long periods of time? If so, it could be overheating. Maybe the plugs aren't in all the way/are loose..
