Maybe one of your internal memory isn't working.
This can be a hardware problem, in that case reinstalling everything won't help.

First, does your computer turn back on?
- If it does, are there any errors?
--> If not, then its a cooling/overheating problem
--> If it pops up an error, means there is a hardware malfunction
- If your computer does not turn back on, means that a hardware component, usually motherboard or power supply, has been fried

What CPU & OS sharum - yes I did really ask that

A lot of problems been showing up with Adobe software (especially shockwave/flash plugins) on the faster CPU's and newer win OS's - especially 64 bit ones (cause Adobe don't 'do' 64-bit, not properly anyway).

Even the background updaters causing racing CPU usage leading to thermal shutdowns.

Are you able to start your PC again?? If not there might be many reasons why your pc isn't working like maybe the power switch is not well attached to the motherboard, or have you checked your processor fan? Many computers will automatically shut down if the processor fan stops or any other hardware component might have got damaged like RAM, MotherBoard, or your Processor.

I am damn sure it is a cooling problem. You should change your coolant after that it will work fine.

If your computer shuts down randomly, and when you restart it shuts down even faster, then your processor is overheating and it's shutting down to prevent damage. Solution: clean all the dust inside, make sure all fans are working, and if possible get new thermal compound for your processor.

Your processor is probably overheating, get a new cpu cooler or clean your current one.

Reformat is the last option. You can check the heat sink of your processor. Maybe it's no longer properly attached.

I think you have some heating problem on your system thats why your computer is shout down itself.You have to check the fan in your system. I think there have some dust. You have to clean your fan and you can remove the fan on the processor and clean the dust inside it.
