My computer is shutting down it self, it just completely turns off. when I first had my computer I had 256Ram and I have updated it to 512MB. I am using win XP service pack 2, and though I formatted my HD many time it still turns off suddenly, so I guess this is a hardware problem, but I can't figure which one.

any help will be appriciated

Could be a heating problem. Check your temperatures and make sure they're not too high.

Formatting the HDD won't fix a hardware problem no matter how many times you do it..lol

Check your SMPS. I had the same problem a few years ago and changed the SMPS and then it was fantastic and it improved the speed of my PC also.
