Exclamation Random shutdowns.
Hello, for the past few weeks my computer has been shutting down without any notice. I have no idea why this is occuring; virus, hardware failure It usually happens when I run demanding programs, for example, when using Nero. All help is greatly appreciated.

Nero could indicate a problem with ur CD Burner Driver or your Video hard driver. Try reinstalling both.

Nero is used to burn stuff stuff to CD's right?

Could also be heat related, have you checked your system temperatures lately?
