Well with the very little info you provided the possibilities are so many its not even worth the effort to afford a guess.
PC age, type, components....Emachine Dell or clone or??????
Operating System....???? SP...? Updates on/off....when last....???
Size and speed of hard drive....??? Space used/empty ....last format??
Memory type and style...????
If it is actually shutting down on its own, you can find free online virus scans, which is a good idea no matter what.
What internet connection...??? Does it happen when Offline as well as online???
Case been cleaned...recently ??? ever??? Dust is a great insulator and heat kills PC components.
Power strip??? Has the outlet used for the PC or the power strip steadily become overloaded???......
Just so many things that it could be...I'd start with the things that should be done on a regular basis ne way...cleaning the case check all the cords run system cleanups, remove unused and or old programs, shut down programs that show in the task bar and use system startup to keep them from running unless they are needed...
Provide some specifics and so can I :
