    Hello,

    Start with running MemTest to test the memory.

    More than the MemTest i think the OP needs to check his power supply.Electricity supply in India is rather erratic and in my opinion sudden fluctuation in voltage is the reason behind the unexpected shutdown of his system.

    @Gautam Do you have UPS connected to your pc??

    Agreed, I said in my original post on the first page that it could be a PSU issue...

    Try Memtest to rule out the RAM. Personally I would also swap out the PSU.

    in reality; from what i have experienced with older versions of windows; when a system restarts like that it is almost always been a hardware related issue from what i have experienced. I had my 7 year old dell do that before i got this new system up and running and I discovered it had something to do with a outdated driver for something called the intel matrix storage manager which has something to do with storage on the hard drives. Well updating that driver fixed the problem in my case; so u might want to try checking the system for updated drivers for the hard drives.
