For some reason my new Surface is shutting off randomly. I check the setting and a few other things but it's still randomly turns off without warning. I'm losing some of my school work because of it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Having same sleep/hibernation/shutdown issues, 2 restores, and 2 usb full boot image recoveries, then let micorsoft take full control remotely for about 2 hours doing a a bunch of CMD "SFC" stuff, still turned up corrupted files that could not be repaired, this was after a usb fresh install with no programs installed. Asked for a refund for current unit, and purchased exact same i5, fingers crossed this one will work.
I used the online Support of Microsoft. They sent me the Software repair tool. They told me if the Problem persists i should ask them again. I will write again if the Problem solved or if it persists. After the Chat they send me an email too with extra steps to do. eg new Installation of Windows.
Maybe this will result in more attention from MS to the problem:

Thurrott ran an article about the problem.
Adding a piece of information to Microsoft people (hoping they can reply with a solution).
Event viewer always shows the same list of errors and warnings before the incident:
First Error BTHUSB Event ID 17,
then 4 DeviceSetupManager Warnings (Event ID 202/200/202/201),
then Warning BTHUSB Event ID 34
and finally Error DistributedCOM Event ID 10016.
This sequence never changes and always occurs before hibernation.
If only one or two of these warnings or errors occur (e.g. Error DistributedCOM Event ID 10016 alone or even repeated several times), no problem, but when the above sequence completes, bang, hibernation.
I have had a very similar experience to MassimoSNZ above. My new Surface Pro shut down twice in the space of 20 minutes, and showed the same two errors in the event viewer both times (Event 17, BTUSB, followed by Event 10016, Distributed COM). I was browsing the internet at the time (using Chrome), on battery power (55% battery), with only a Type Cover attached.
