A colleague is having problem with her computer with automatic shutdowns. Yesterday, she was using MS Word and the computer shutdown and rebooted. While rebooting, she received a keyboard error message and to press F1 to continue. I told her not to press F1 because then she won't be able to use the keyboard. What are some possibilities causing the shutdowns and why would she get a keyboard error?
