Vostro 200

Having problems with a vostro 200 slim tower shutting down on its own.  Doesn't happen everyday, maybe once a week for no reason.  Boots back up fine.  Any thoughts?

Have you rechecked the Power Options to make sure it is not hibernating? Hibernation shuts off the computer completely and requires a brief press of the power button to wake. Does it happen when you are using the computer or when it is idle? Check the power cord and power outlet if it happens while you are using it.

If you have XP, go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and System...see if any errors are being thrown.
