That's the second time today that my computer has spontaneously shut itself off! No warning, no blue screen, it just suddenly reboots! One second I'm in the middle of composing an email, the next I'm staring at the little flying Windows icon as it starts up again! WTF?

I've had mine spontaneously reboot a couple of times, and that was either due to heat or to power supply issues. You may want to try (after grounding yourself, of course) turning it off, unplugging it, removing the battery, letting it all cool down a bit, and reassembling it. That usually tends to resolve power supply trouble (and gives it a nice little cool-down period if it's too hot).
