Not if it's hardware.

Try replacing your power supply with one that you know works and see if
the problem persists.

Late to the thread, but have you tried
User Profile Hive Cleanup Service?

Brief Description:
A service to help with slow log off and unreconciled profile problems.

This might be worth a try:

"....pariphrial devices are especially notorious for causing the
problems. This is especially true of high end keyboards and mice with
lots of extra features, and of various USB devices. I have even heard of
cases in which USB devices would cause the reboot problem if they were
plugged directly into the system�s USB port, but the problem would go
away if the devices were plugged into a USB hub instead."

Hi Airman,
Yes I did download and run UPHClean-Setup.msi a few weeks ago, but that,
like everything else I have tried has failed to cure the shutdown problem.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
