Shut down after no activity
After about 2 or 3 hours of no activity, my computer just shuts down. I have checked power settings, etc. and nothing shows up as a possible cause. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Look in Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Task Scheduler to see if you have any tasks that "Start when Idle".

Thanks to you all for the answers. Problem solved.
Normally, yes. However I was thinking of a task that would contain an unusual command, such as 'shutdown'.
MS-DOS shutdown command help
...Because in my mind, when unusual things start occurring in general - pc or just in life, then unconventional and unusual responses are appropriate.
