Hi Louis, the usual reasons are:
* the battery is out of power (as they age, they hold a charge for a shorter and shorter time) * you close the lid * it can be set to do this after X number of minutes of no activity * some piece of software is configured to do some task, and then shutdown the laptop (like run a backup and then shutdown) The battery aging is the best bet, but could any of these be the reason?
