Tony....is it "shutting down" or is it "crashing?" There's a difference. Is there a "pattern" when it goes off?

As other members here have said......."beware of Registry cleaners" (and for a number of reasons).

Don't get sucked into downloading some malware, a virus, a trojan, etc.

Try running the computer in "safe mode" (for as long as you can stand it) and see if it "shuts down" then.

See what's starting up in "msconfig."

Go to Windows Task Manager and see if there's something there that's running that you don't recognize.

And.....check your cables....all of them. Also, go into the computer and "re-seat" everything....almost everything that can move.

I had a problem with the computer shutting down whenever I clicked on my Internet connection. I replaced the telephone wires with brand new ones, and it hasn't crashed since.

I also had a problem with the sound going off. I had to go in and "re-seat" the sound card. That cured THAT problem.

If you thought learning to play a keyboard was hard, try "troubleshooting" a computer crash. I'd rather drink a glass of bleach!
