A queer problem - PC is shutting down

Hello,

I’m having a queer problem, my PC (IBM Netvista M50) is shutting down every
few minutes with no special reason. I’m running XP with all the latest
service packs and updates. After I restart the PC, there is no event in the
event logs and no hardware error.

Any Idea?

Thanks

Janiv.

Virus scan ur computer. This is probably a virus. If you can't keep the computer alive during the scan, you need to find a bootable virus scanner and go from there.

Disable Auto restart (Start - Control Panel - System - Advanced tab - Settings under Startup and Recovery - uncheck Automatically restart). Now watch for errors.
BTW … Some viruses cause similar problem

Good Luck!
