    Just put Windows 7 On my PC. and  I am slightly confused as to why it shuts off randomly.
     It doesn't matter what I am going if it's idle for like 2 minutes it shuts down completely.

    Perhaps it's in your power plan/options? 
     
    I've not had that happen to me.

    It could be a driver problem. Is all your hardware work with windows 7?

    Check your power management settings, and make sure to install all of the proper drivers. Aside from that, there isn't really anything else that I know to tell you.

    Like people have already posted it's probably your power management settings, it's the same with vista using default settings, when the computer is inactive for a period of time it puts itself to sleep.
