Your problem can be due to many reasons, maybe the power suply of your computer, maybe the power switch is not well attached to the motherboard, etc... You don't say which operating system you are running and what kind of machine you have, so let's make some more research. I supose is your personal computer and you don't have installed any kind of software to limit the access to your PC. I recommend you to perform a virus scanner looking for viruses and trojans, you can do it for free by clicking on the link to your right. Also you have to be careful with the temperature of your computer, if your computer is relatively new you can look this value in the BIOS of your PC, when the system starts press Supr (may vary from computers) and enter in the BIOS, there must be a place to look this value. Check your motherboard documentation to know where is this information and what are recommended values. For example, if you have a 7200 rpm disk without fan attached to it, this can make the temperature inside the PC case too high. "If you have a system that seems to run fine, then just shuts itself off after a half hour or so, check out the operating temperature of the CPU. See that the fans are working on the power supply and the CPU's heatsink." Probably it's because your computer has got a virus and if this is really the cause, what you can do is just reformat your computer and everything will be fine then.
