Serious shut down issue - I assume.

Three times in the last month my system has simply shut itself down abnormally and rebooted, right in the middle of whatever I was doing.

Upon restarting it informs me that windows has just shut abnormally (duh) and do I want it to do a diagnostic and repair.

Given that the alternative is go pick posies, I say yes. It takes quite a long time (20 or 30 minutes?) but eventually it is running as if nothing had happened.

So:

Is this more likely a hardware problem or a software problem? Either way, will it help to kick the computer in the shins? If not, what?
