could you further explain the shutdown part? did you see the shutdown screen that says windows is now shutting down etc? or did it the whole computer just suddenly go off? did the monitor go off too?

maybe is because an error from some program... right click My Computer .. Open the Advanced tab under Startup and Recovery, select Settings. System Failure, remove the check from Automatically restart.

Since you did not state anything that could be useful to be analyzed why your computer has shut down, these are some of the possibilites:Power FlactuationYou were remotely shutdown by someone unauthorized from your system(hacked)Fatal Application ErrorSomething accidentally pressed the restart/power button of your PC.A malicious program hidden in your system that executed because of something you did that triggered it.OverheatHardware failureCondensation inside your boxA possible short circuit somewhere in your systemYou accidentally pressed a shortcut button/key that can restart/shutdown your computer.Hope this helps, sorry about this, cannot have an accurate diagnosis of your problem since you didn't really emphasize and elaborate your problem well.

Just a simple consideration, Is it possible that your computer got MS blaster(I do not know what kind OS you use). MS Service Pack to is quit good to solve those old window problems and bugs, I have fix at least 3 computers problem with that. But somebody wondering, that will make more trouble for the computer. Whatever, just a simple suggestion.

i had this problem a while back, i did everything suggested here but it still wouldnt stop shutting down, it did it every few mins and was really annoying. i ran ad aware, pc bug doctor, blaster fix, instaled critical updates, clean the registry and even did a system restore and it still did it, in the end i installed a firewall and its never done it since...

And I think that it's possible to be Blaster virus

Do you mean it is possible for your machine to be controled by some remote side or some hidden software in you OS? What kind of firewall did you installed? thanx

In addition to those other questions, did anything pop up before it shut down?

Trojans have been present for so many years now... ....(RAT's) if someone dropped a Remote Access Trojan to your system then, he could control you remotely, steal your password, credit card etc..depending on the capability of the trojan he dropped. (using the internet of course)..this is where a good firewall and an anti trojan comes to the rescue.

 

With regards to the shutting down problem..aside from those mentioned above it is possible too that you ran out of memory (RAM) thus resulting to program error. If you have observed your box automatically shuts down upon executing memory hog programs like Norton, Photoshop, those Macromedia softwares, PSP, 3d softwares etc...then probably its just "memory shortage-program error". Now if this happens even without those memory hog programs running..maybe.. "malicious programs and scripts", "corrupted OS installation".

Another explanation might be that your power supply is probably dying. The power supply is not outputing a stable current anymore which causes power fluctuations. This may account for your computer restarting automatically. But i doubt thats the problem. Sometimes I get random restarts too. My power supply is fine and I don't have any trojans or viruses either.

when you get a window that says something like: error of program x, closing in 60 seconds, you can stop the pc from shutting down. like that, you can relax to find a solution to the problem:1. press windows key +R and type cmd or just open a command prompt the way you usually do it2. type this : shutdown /athis will cancel the shutdown and you'll have all the time to search the internet for a solution for your problem.marijn
