    This item shuts down on its own while being used.
    It does this after being run over an hour or two.

    Excuse Me if I should had posted this in another forum.

    Yesterday I ran Event Viewer and all I saw listed was some items dated yesterday.
    I haven't looked at Event Viewer in ages, thanks for the suggestion.
    I will read the Help page(s) to see if I can see what happened ages ago when the thing shut down on its own , if old logs were kept.

    This may or may not be the case in your situation, but sometimes shut downs, are related to thermal events - meaning the system became too hot and shut itself down as a protection mechanism. Some manufacturers build this into
    their systems. Sometimes you can see this in the event logs. Always good to be sure that all the inlet and outlet places are clean so airflow is as good as
    it can be. Also check for weak or dead fans as they definitely can lead to thermal events.
