    my mate had the same problem im just throwing something here but check your main settings before windows starts up it might be theres to much power running into your pc or its set on auto shutdown. I have forgot the key you press before windows starts but have a look im sure someone can tell ya on here.

    But as was said tell him/her to check there fan , you would not belive the stuff that thing picks up. I FOUND A RAT  ;D jokes
