Touchdown! Greaser!
This is a problem I have been sweeping under the carpet and it is now happening daily.
My Toshiba laptop (about 8months old?) completely shuts down of its own accord and turns off for no apparent reason. Kind of aggravating but you get used to saving stuff to the hd regularily. (because of our summer tz's this is not a new trick for us to learn)
So I let it sit for a while and then restart it and carry on. When I restart there is never an error message, no blue screen of death or anything. All is normal.
This happens when one program is open or 4, when I am online or not.
It is not associated with any one program. The unit gets warm but the fans are turning and the ducting appears clear. I am always on AC. My wifes (recently fixed) Dell is on the same receptacle and hers never does it.
How on earth would you troubleshoot something like this? Until I get it fixed, I am Mr Backup Man.

PS the brand new Ipod Shuffle my wife got free on some deal arrived yesterday... completely dead in the box. Where is my #2 phillips and 4lb sledge, I gotta open it up.
