Hi, I'm using xubuntu via SSH and the computer keeps turning itself off. Sometimes, /var/log/syslog contains a message about terminating on "signal 15", but usually nothing.
My first suspicion in such cases is the hardware - is the computer cooled well enough? Does the CPU fan work and seats well on the CPU? If you have sensors then maybe install lm-sensors (possibly with some GUI front-end) and see whether everything is ok. Does the computer work well under different configurations (under windows, for instance. Yes, I know that "running windows" and "work well" are contradictory but I'm referring to the hardware). Did the computer work well before and just started to act or is it a new computer/installation?
