windows shutdown problem everytime I log in

[Needagroup]

<p>For the last couple weeks, every time I log on, windows shuts down after about 8 minutes of playtime.    I have no idea what is causing this!!!   It's pretty frustrating though.   Anyone have hints for me what is causing this or how to fix it????  Thanks.</p>
