    It might be do to heat. Try opening the tower and vac out the dust or buy canned air and blast it out.

    It sounds like you have a system problem, not a virus. The usual causes for random shutdowns are:
    >Overheating triggers auto-shutdown to protect the CPU;
    >Memory module going bad;
    >Power supply going bad.
