I was given this comp at work and after a week or so this strange thing started to happen in the middle of doing something :-(

It turns off itself at about 9.10am every morning

Just once a day and it works fine after it had it little nap.

  • it happens both if the comp was on all night or I turned it off before leaving the office.
  • I tried to swapped the memory as I was told that there was an issue with memory. But moving or removing any memory did not make any difference.
  • I am not aware that I would install any program that could cause that. I installed AVG and set it up to do every day scan about 8am + if restart is needed it requires user confirmation.

  • 'The Software Protection service has stopped' few minutes before it turned off itself but it happened also at other times without the computer turned off.

  • I turned off Windows automatic updates as the first thing when I got the comp

configuration

  • Windows 7 Ultimate
  • Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 at 2.8GH, 8GB RAM
  • ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 1TB

Update

Below message are logged when I turn the comp on again.

Message 1: The previous system shutdown at 9:08:54 AM on ?6/?29/?2010 was unexpected. Message 2:

  • The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
