Might be a cloged heatsink causing Cpu overheating.

I'm not an expert but I think you will be asked to post your System Specs.

I agree with Roger. Also you could try hitting the key that takes you to the Bios setup routine. If you get into the bios setup routine and it still shuts down, you can be pretty sure you have an overheating problem. If it stays up, then you have a different problem. To use F8 keep tapping it every second or two while the system is booting up.

I had the same problem. You need to remove the dusk from your cpu cooling fan, after that it your computer shouldn't be turning off by itself.
