You should look in the Event Viewer. There may be a log entry telling you why the system was shut down. You will have to go in using just the keyboard, using the tab key, arrow keys and enter.

I had a similiar problem when I upgraded to Office 2K service pack 1. The problem is that Microsoft thinks that your software is pirated. They have a lot of serial numbers built into the code and if yours is in there, it might think it is an illegalcopy. The best thing to do, if your software IS legal, then call Microsoft and tell them.
