i am a computer tech but this times the problem is my computer

Before running the hardware scanning app like CPUZ, I would suggest close the firewall and any 3rd party system related software.

Reset the Bios may help!

hope this helps.

update any related type of drivers you can.

Other than that, no idea.

I ran across a similar issue on a win7 machine recently. Go into device manager and check "show hidden devices" and see if there are any unknown devices. Turns out I had to bully some extra chipset drivers in that particular machine. After getting that driver in (apm driver), pcwizard ran fine.

I worked on a PC that would physically turn off when certain programs were run. Turned out that the PS was marginal and when the PC became stressed, the PS would fail. Replaced the PS and all was OK.

Not quite the same situation you're experiencing, but maybe worth a shot as it seems you've eliminated any software reasons.

I suggest that you find a copy of PC-Check and run their tests (a linux boot cd).

If it is happening even when booting from a live CD you can almost certainly assume it is a hardware related malfunction or misconfiguration. Reset the BIOS, then re-seat the CPU with new paste. Try again. If you have a spare CPU around the shop, drop that it and see what happens.
