Could be a number of things, if it's just shutting down randomly or after a certain amount of time, it may be a hardware-related problem; ie: power drop or heat. Could you be more specific?

Rick,
Sorry about the spelling of your name last time. Thanks for the info. Right now my neighbors aren't home. But you have given me several things to check on. Thanks again.

Only if the issue was the cpu running too hot. Does your system exhibit the same tendencies in SafeMode ? How soon is "pretty soon" ? Have you checked ControlPanel/PowerOptions ?
