What is causing my computer to die? Twice today already

Zones: PC Laptops, Computer Motherboards, Hardware Components

Tags: Fujitsu Siemens, Amilo Laptop, Si 1520

Twice today already, as I am typing, using my laptop computer normally, it has died (turned itself off).

I have to re-start it.

It does re-start fine, and here I am, but I am worried that it will happen again.

I did have a DSKCHK happening everytime I started my computer, but that did not seem to detect any problems, so following the advice from someone relating to that issue, I did something in CMD which stopped the DSKCHK happening, but now my computer is dying on me!

I have about 20 GB free on the 120gb hard drive, and apart from this, the computer is running ok.

I am plugged in to the power supply.

Please help!
