It would help if we knew a little bit more about the situation, but I'll give do my best.

What is probably happening is that the computer is overheating. This can cause your computer to restart or shutdown without warning.

Let me ask some diagnostic questions:
  • Are you able to load to the desktop, or does the computer shutdown during boot?
  • Is your computer a laptop or a desktop computer?
  • Are the air vents on your computer clogged with dust or are their objects blocking them?
  • Can you hear any fans running?

After I know a little bit more, your problem will be easier to determine.
 
normally a system wont die just like out of no where which is a sign of overheat and sometimes a powersupply going bad can cause this even

well for one thing i wasnt drunk and the other thing watch what u say to members cause i cant help my sentences can sound like a drunk person or just a bad sentence cause i do have autism and add
 
The most common cause of a random shutdown when the OS is loaded is a computer virus, try running a scan with an antivirus and malwarebytes, if there's no threat found and it still keeps doing it, it may be a hardware issue or a faulty OS installation. If it's the second thing, reinstall Windows and you're good to go, if it's a hardware issue, then maybe it's your Power Supply Unit that may not be able to supply the demand and the computer shuts down for safety measures. I can continue telling more but try these and tell me if this helps/

Autism and ADD do not have symptoms relating to 'typing like a chimp'. Solid effort, though.

not sure about first but here are my answers:
i have a laptop. Acer(which i dont like it.) ive been using it for years. i can only hear fans running when i open. my laptop has tones of dust inside. it hasn't been cleaned for years.

*EDIT*

well i really want a new one. i want a macbook but then they keep making new ones. but i am never getting acer again. well my acer has very low battery life and i usually just never unplug the wires that are used to let it recharge energy.
