Compaq laptop running Windows Vista shuts off for no reason

Whether running the laptop on Battery or Plugged in, the simply shuts down for no reason. Sometimes after one or two minutes and sometimes linger. There doesn;t seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it will happen.

Let's start with a thermal event(overheat, could be). How long has your laptop been clean of any dust on ventilation and or internally? Where there any messages(error) upon succesfull booting to desktop? How long has these been going on?
