I'm using Win7 and have had no issues since the beginning, Tony, and that's going back to when I got this PC several years ago.

Would a power drop cause it to shut down? I'm not at all PC literate so this is a wild stab in the dark...maybe a lot of power drain due to Christmas lights?

Did your email go down as well?
