Turn off Computer??
Why, after long periods of idle, does my PC show the "Turn Off Computer" box with the three choices & cancel. It's normally left on overnight, and when the monitor is turned on in the morning, the above box/window is shown. Doesn't happen regularly though.
I run anti-spyware/virus faithfully.

Let's start off by checking power settings in your control panel:
Windows XP:
start menu > control panel > performance and maintenance > power options

you might haveaccidently pressed turn off...! If the problem exists, I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in/ useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

try closing all operating programs and then dump the cookies and shut it down every night see if that doesn't work better.
