computer turns off its self

[help my bob]

My daughters PC, after starting, turns itself off after anything between 2 mins and 10 mins, I have checked that the fan is working on the processor and cleaned all the dust out,
could it be a virus thats doing it (ran virus check and deleted 135 of them, and did spywaer check) or something simple ??? any help would be appreciated thanks

The same problem was happening to me' When this happend to me it was the power lead' Try taking the power lead out and blowing in to the holls both in the computer and in the lead it's self. Then put it back in.
