Hello to everyone, I'm new to the forums. I did a search and didn't quite see what I was looking for. I suppose this is related to internet applications, and I wanted to ask this. I'm also looking to possibly sell some older PC parts when I've been around here long enough. I'm studying for my B.A in History/Education and have A+ and Network+ certs obtained back in 2007. Now, about my question.

My question is regarding Logmein. The host PC is windows xp sp3, and I'm keeping it at a friends who has faster download speeds than I can afford haha. I control the PC through logmein with my laptop or whatever I am on at the time of controller, and select files to download. Well, there are some times I will time out as I forget to check it and what not, so I have to relog in. It seems, after 2 times, the computer shuts down. I have it set to sleep at about 4 hours (I do not let it idle that long, seems like the auto disconnect is set for around 25 minutes?), and scheduled a task to run at 10am everyday and bring it out of sleep so I can Log back into it. I checked remotely to see if it's a temp thing, but this computer just sits there, and all I do is download with it. Here are the specs:

Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500YS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 2.4GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 89W Single-Core Processor ADA3800BPBOX

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler (there is not a fan attached to this. I do not remember why i took it off but couldn't locate the fan so it's just the heatsink. There should be adequate for what I'm doing, so that's why I ruled out heat first.)

The PSU, I do not remember which one I'm using. I can pull up the voltage readouts with PC wizard if that is needed.

Any ideas to this?

Go to start > run > eventvwr.msc
In left left hand column under "system" & "application" are there any warnings?

I would recommend having a fan on your CPU cooler, the system may be set to auto shutdown when the CPU reaches a certain temperature. Install the asus motherboard software to monitor the CPU temperatures.
