G'day,
My vista machine with all the latest service packs and updates has been randomly shutting down now for the last couple of weeks.
I did not install anything new, and have tried running antivirus and Malware programs, as well as HDD tests, and memory tests, to confirm there is nothing wrong there.
There is no specific time it stays stable, could be 10 mins, or could be an hour. Event Viewer shows Eventd ID 6008
"The previous system shutdown at 11:01:09 PM on 12/09/2011 was unexpected."
No Blue Screen, just black and shuts down. Looks like it loses power, but the following startup is normal.
I should add that every time I try to run a full scan, it never makes it through without shutting down. Either with Avast, or Malware Bytes.
I tried running the machine in safe mode to see if it was something to do with another program, but it still managed to shutdown all by itself in safe mode.
I have now tried uninstalling Service Pack 2, and will re-install to see if that helps.
Any help would be appreciated.
