Hey Everyone,

I have been dealing with this problem for awhile now. It seems that whenever I am in Linux my computer will just turn off. Not shutdown like I did "shutdown -r now". Just completely off out of the blue at random times. I have been reading the logs but there is nothing helpful at all. It is never the same thing on the logs when it does just shutdown. Sometime I can boot up and it will go off when it says "Waiting for udev events to finish" or something like that.

I haven't done any major upgrades in awhile, there is really nothing different. I installed Windows last night to see if it is a hardware thing but nope it stays on. I also tried reinstalling Gentoo on a couple of occasions on another Hard Drive but it just shutdown while I was getting it done.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I really don't want to be in Windows after I spent all that time customizing my XFCE4 desktop.
