PC Goes Of For No Obvious Reason And Then..

I have Vista Home Premium which inadvertently switches itself off and I
have to go through about 7 or 8 manual boots under 'choose repair option'
which repairs a little, switches off, I reboot, it repairs a little further,
switches off and so on until I get to 'will start up at a point.
Any ideas as to why this maybe ? The PC has Norton 360 on it...
TIA

I'd take the Norton 360 off initially...
Probably by a fresh install of your OS,
and just start all over.

Back up all your valuable data to a CD,
data partition, or external source first.

Then try it for awhile.

Is it a laptop? Could be a heat issue,
but that wouldn't need "repairs" to the OS.

Repent! The end is near.... So, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

I always used AVG, Avast, and lastly Micorosoft Security Essentials. McAfee
and Norton were always horrible expensive resource hogs. I use Comcast
however and they have free Norton now. I just tried it experimentally and it
is a whole different animal than it once was. I love it. It does a whole lot
and is very light on resources. I really didn't expect to use in more than a
couple of days, but have had it for a few months now and it has had great
detection and has never bogged things down. Course right now I happen to be
on my Linux partition and am using no AV, but that's beside the point.
