So my PC just turned itself off

- Windows XP SP2

Hi!

Ok. I've just been on my laptop talking on msn, and since im sat next to the PC I decided to use it for playing music (louder yah see)

Anyway... After about an hour or so the music from the PC started stuttering which was weird.. anyway.. I let it play on, when all of a sudden the PC just shut down (logged off properly through Windows).

Left it ten minutes, turned it back on, a program called CCAPP.EXE (or similar, can't remember the name) "Has cause an unexpected error and must close", then I have the option to wait 15 seconds or let it "end now", either way means to pc just shots down again.

No recent changes, althought earlier today I was removing unused programs using the add/remove programs list. No new programs have been installed.

Since most of the important stuff is on the secondary HDD, not a lot of data will be lost formatting, but still, i'd prefer not to...

PC has been scanned weekly with Norton antivirus 2006 and Ad-aware...

Any suggestions, apart from formatting??

(PS. Yes, this is the PC with a 250W PSU + Every bay full, could this be the problem?)

Thanks
Tom.

Ok ok. I'm not naming names... But SOME idiot spilled lager on the keyboard a couple of hours earlier and forgot about it!

Erm. That could help with solving whats up with the computer.... The keyboard is drunk!

Thanks anyway..
