I did, but i uninstalled the drivers a few days ago. This problem has been happening since i moved, and i had my wireless keyboard since christmas :\

2/ In your BIOS, check through the menu's and you should find settings regarding to CPU power off and temperature settings. Check the temperature they're set to and what they're set to do, ie sometimes you can select if you want it to beep or just power off. Also check in the BIOS the running temperature of the CPU and the RPM of the CPU fan (speed).
I was in BIOS today, but i'll have to check that again.

3/ What happens (when it is in standby mode) and you push the power button? It should theoretically, if it is in standby mode, power the computer back up from standby mode - if you have a "soft" power button (which i'm assuming you do). Don't hold it in like you do to force the computer to turn off, just push it in once.
I do have a "soft" power button, and usually nothing happens when i press it when in standby. I say usually because if it's fresh in standby it'll come back, if i leave it for a bit it doesnt do anything.

This problem sometimes happens even i dont start to play a song.
Im confused how you guys are talking about my BIOS settings, because i havent touched my BIOS settings since i formatted my computer last summer. THat was just to change the way i format :\ (i used CDs)
I'm kinda thinking it could be that i mixed my cords up. I might be using my monitor to computer cord for my computer to power source cord.
yeah, im noob
Edit: so i read up on some of this and i guess dust is a big problem with computers shutting down from over heating. :\ Today i didnt get a chance to clean it fully, so i'll clean it and be back laterr.
