It sounds like your "automatic shutdown on error" setting is turned on. Here are the instructions to turn it off:
Restart the computer and press the f8
key to open the Advanced Boot Options menu.
Select
the "Disable automatic restart on system" failure
option.
Restart the computer to accept this change.
If there is an error, you will be able to see it after you disable this setting.

Is it shutting down Windows? Or just abruptly powering off? Is it plugged in or running on battery?
OK facts, will try this tomorrow since system's in a tech shop, but pls also note that when it shuts down, I cannot restart it immediately, though the lights will just come on and then go off. It's a dv7...but don't know why this is hsppening...will post the outcome of your suggestion tomorrow...
