We'd love to help you but you haven't given us anything with which to work.
All you've told us is "it's broken". It can be difficult to know what
details to include if you're not technically inclined so these links will
help with that:

After you've read the information there, come back with a detailed post so
you can get the focused help you want.

Re: Unexpected shutdown

I have been having the same problem and got this solution from a friend who
works at Microsoft and it seems to have worked --

From the research I have done it appears to center around power settings and
drivers doing bad things going in to or coming out of sleep. Suggestions I
saw were:

1. Set the HD shutdown to occur prior to sleep e.g. in the power
settings set the HD shut down for 30 min. and the general sleep setting for
more than that

2. Turn off power management e.g. run at full power with no auto-sleep

3. Make sure the BIOS is the most current for the motherboard

4. Turn off power settings in the BIOS and rely on the Vista power
settings.
