Could you be a little more specific? Does the screen suddenly go black? Does it go through the shut down routine? what kind of computer? (more specifically than PC ie. processor, OS etc.)

If it's a Dell running Windows vista, you owe me a Mars Bar (lolsmashdash).

But seriously though, what he said. Give as much information as possible. Also, try to list any recent downloads you had before this started happening.

If you are running Vista, the default, at least for me, is to shut the monitor off after about 15 minutes.

This freaked me out, and I went to a ton of sites, until someone stumbled on this possible scenario. Pretty stupid of me to not realize it, but then again, I never set stuff like that, and I had no idea it was the default.

Give that a try under "Power Management" or something like that.
