      Given that we cannot see your machine or what is on the screen or in the event logs, there is no way we can answer.

      • Try starting in safe mode and see if you can get to the event logs.
      • Check any messages that appear when you boot or when it starts to shut down.
      • Have you recently installed any new hardware or software?
      • etc ...

        E pluribus unum: Dirt has accumulated around the fan and the heatsink causing the CPU to overheat. The system shuts down the computer to prevent the CPU from dieing of heat stroke. :-D Honestly, without any additional information there is not much that we can do for you. Regards,

            have you checked for viruses? a number of them take pleasure in shutting down the system. :)

                I worked on a system a few months ago with the same problem (Dell). Turns out the on/off button (really a lever to the on/off switch) was off center and was holding the power button down. I re-aligned the lever and everything started working correctly. Recall that holding the power button down for approximately 10 seconds will cause the power supply to turn off.

                  Take your finger off the power button.
