I HAVE MICROSOFT XP ON A INTEL CELERON CPU. MY CPU JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M
IN THE MIDDLE OF USING IT. MAYBE MY BIOS POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS ARE WRONG.
WHAT SHOULD THEY BE?

You might also have a faulty power supply or a failing processor fan.. I
would suggest that you get both checked out..

I had a laptop that would occasionally do that. It was due to
processor temperature. I cleaned the fan assembly and heatsink and it
worked fine again.

On the other hand, it may overheat because you type everything in
upper case. That takes more power.
