Any other event logs around the time frame when it shuts down? Did you build this yourself? Have you verified that the thermal grease was put on properly and the CPU isn't overheating? You can check the CPU temps using Core Temp . Another good system info program is Speccy - System Information - Free Download.

recently changed the cpu cooler and used arctic silver paste. have dont core temps (that was the first thing) it holds steady at around 90 F-105 F I've been told that's ok. I have built it myself yes. Motherboard and processor came together inc the 1gb std crucial ram. the rest i have bought and built.

90 - 105 F is very cool. You've made sure that's F and not C? Have you made sure no paste has oozed out around the edges of the CPU?

Updated.

It appears that most of the errors listed above occured at the same time on the 27th (it's the most common date so i'm using that as a reference).

What was updated, and errors listed where?

on the 27th i updated the graphics driver due to poor win aero performance but the turning off had already been happening. the cpu is clean around the edges and i have done the F c in in speccy which reads average of 45 in c and 105 in f

sorry had a complete stupid moment then. The errors listed were from the event viewer. would it help to post those up?

Temps look good, then. Are you sure that the motherboard or other components aren't accidentally touching the case? That can cause random power downs.
