Most likely a virus-possibly even a prank. It's easy to edit a shutdown prompt into the registry.

Scan it with http://housecall.trendmicro.com and then install and scan it with Ad-Aware.

If that doesn't work, you might want to look into hardware issues, first the power supply and then go from there. Also make sure the temparature is at a normal level.
