The first thing to do is to make sure that you are installing an unadulterated version. Something could hijack your download and alter the installer. So,
1) Download the latest installer (which is gimp-2.10.34-setup-2.exe) and you shouldn't get any warning by your browser about invalid certificates.
2) compute its SHA-512 checksum, and compare it with the expected checksum which is:

(don't worry, if the first 8-10 characters are OK you should be good, these checksums are designed so that a minute difference in the file yields a completely different checksum).
3) At that point if you have a functional and up to date antivirus a clean version of Gimp should install correctly
Otherwise, a system shutdown can also be caused by CPU overheating or a RAM error.Gimp can strain you system a bot more that usual and exacerbate weaknesses. How old is you PC? What CPU? How much RAM?
