My computer keeps shutting down...help please!

My computer shuts down unexpectedly...no warnings no error messages. I just installed Windows 7 successfully and it shut down after a few minutes online. Sometimes it shuts down after 2 or 3 minutes, sometimes longer. I was hoping it was a virus, so I did a clean install with Windows 7. Looks like that didn't help. Could it be the hard drive? Is there any way to troubleshoot what the problem could be? Could something inside the computer be loose? Any help would be really appreciated!

    Neither, it just closes and as a result the USB port will not charge my cell phone.  I would just like to keep the  usb ports on and charging any device connected.

    How do I correct this problem or is it fixable?  it is a laptop using MS 10

    Hi,

    To isolate the issue, we would like to know the following:

    • Which version of Windows are you using?
    • Do you receive any error messages? If yes, send us a screenshot.
    • Have you done any configurations prior to this concern? If yes, please specify.

    For possible resolution, check this link out.

    Regards.
