GoBack only works if you've had the program installed BEFORE the problem started, and it has created restore points. If Nic installs it now, it won't magically revert his system to whenever the problem started, the only restore point would be the installation time, when the problems were evident! Nic, it's seeming more and more like a hardware problem. It seems like it might be the power supply suffering from an internal fault, causing instable voltages, a circuitry reset and the Power Good signal to withdraw and re-appear, causing the shutdown. Did you check memory? Reset your BIOS to defaults, and disconnect all hard drives and optical drives. Leave the system in the BIOS screens, see what happens. Dave, that won’t work.

I think we're now looking at a power supply fault, something is wrong with the voltages, they're probably unstable due to a fault, causing the PC to shut down. Did you try memory/CPU? @Dave: Obviously this isn’t a fix, as it crashes in the BIOS!

It starts the PC up at a previous date so all settings and work will be opened up at that date and delete anything after.So start the PC up at the date you had no problems. Hope this helps.
