I've been noticing over the last few days that my computer shuts off
automatically for no reason while I'm in the middle of something, I'm on an
Acer Aspire 3002WlCi with Windows XP Home SP2. Is there a problem I don't
know about, and if so, what can I do to fix it so it doesn't happen again?

Overheating CPU?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have
solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Hope this helps.
