Explanation
This event is written when an application causes the system to restart, or when
the user initiates a restart or shutdown by clicking Start or pressing
CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then clicking Shut Down. This event is written to the
system log only when the Shutdown Event Tracker group policy setting is enabled
or not configured on a computer running a Windows .NET Server 2003 operating
system.
A system state data file is written during every unplanned restart or shutdown.
This file contains information about programs that were running just before the
shutdown and information about the system and hardware. It might be useful to
IT professionals in determining the cause for frequent, unplanned shutdowns.
To enable this feature on a computer running a Windows .NET Server 2003
operating system, you can leave the System State Data group policy setting not
configured, or you can enable it. This feature is not included in Windows XP
Professional.
The system state data file is stored in the
%windir%\system32\LogFiles\Shutdown\ directory, and only members of the
Administrators security group can view it. The first such user who logs on to
the computer after an unplanned shutdown might see a dialog notification
reading "The system has been restarted after an unplanned shutdown. A log of
this event has been created." From this dialog box, the user can navigate to a
more detailed description of the data file, its contents, and Microsoft's
privacy policy for data collection on the Web. The administrator can choose
whether to send the system state data file to Microsoft by clicking either the
Send Error Report button or the Don't Send button.
If you have the appropriate group memberships or privileges, you can enable
Corporate Error Reporting by setting a path for uploading data to a central
location on your network. You can also customize the error reporting dialogs.
To learn more about Corporate Error Reporting, see Help and Support.

I would be greatful, if anyone had the slightest idea as to the meaning of that
explanation. I'm not running a Windows .NET server. Why is my system shutting
down?

Because something is shutting it down.
Are you overclocking? Does this problem occur at random or at specific times
or intervals?

Killfiling is futile. You will be trolled.

was the system restarting during video games. That problem was fixed by
disabling onboard sound. Now, however, the entire system shuts down. It's not
heat, since the Asus probe shows me the heat is not close to the threshold.
Recently, it occurs roughly once or twice a day. In point of fact, the system
never shut off when Windows 2k Pro was installed.

Incompatibility. Check for BIOS and driver updates.
The fact that you had to disable the on-board sound should have clued you
in. I recommend you backup your important shit and consider doing a complete
reinstall, clean, from scratch.
Once you have made the decision, go here before you do anything;
