Computer turned off on its own

oysterman

left the computer alone, it normally goes onto standby after so many minutes, came back and it had switched off. Any ideas

Check the settings under Control Panel/Power Supply. Make sure it's still set for standby and not switch off.

settings are
1.Turn off monitor-20 mins
2.Turn off hard disk-never
3.system standby- never

I would change the settings to something different, apply them and change them back just to confirm that they are the settings you want.
Let me know how you get on.

If just IE disappeared, I would say you have a technical problem of some sort. If it all went off, check for overheating problems.

Just to do a belt & braces check, run any anti-spyware/malware that you have, do a full virus scan and then reinstalling Firefox and see how you get on.
