Computer shuts down

Since I put Vista on my computer it will close down anytime I'm away from it
for a little while. I have to click my mouse and it comes up with a black
screen saying it closed down to protect my computer. The next screen asks
for you to choose which Windows you are using and then the next whether to
come back up normally or in safe mode. It always comes back up fine and is
ok until I don't use it for awhile and it goes back down. This is really
annoying and happens all day long. I'm also getting an error message in my
Outlook everytime I try to replly or forward about a fax extension. I would
really like to either get this fixed or go back to XP. Is the only way to go
back to restore your computer to factory?

Thanks so much John. I went to that url and did what it said and then went
away from the computer for awhile and when I came back it was still up so we
shall see but I think this did it. You're a gem.
