Computer shutting off
shutting off when? Shutting off immediately when you try to start it? Shutting off after it has run for a while?
If it is shutting off after it has run for a while, then it is probably running hot. If you try to restart it immediately it will not boot. If you let it cool off for a while then it will boot successfully (definitely a sign of running hot).
Things that make a computer run hot:
1) Dust in the vents, fans, cpu & heat sink and all inside the computer.
2) Fan not working
3) The Thermal Paste on the cpu and heat sink has either dried up or is too thin to keep it cool.
If it shuts down immediately after it has been sitting for a while then it's not running not and your system has some other problem.
