Hi,
Sounds like you have the "Blaster" virus. Click START RUN and enter "Shutdown -a" (without quotes) and hit ENTER. This will abort the shutdown sequence. Now you can search the Internet for the BlasterWorm virus removal. Hope that helps Andy "Pradipta" wrote in message ... My computer is automatically getting shut down at regular intervals.

Computer problem
My Media Center Edition computer just cannot start normally on its first day
of operation. When I try to start up normally, it says that Windows has been shut down and displays this: "The STOP error is:0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0x00000000, 0xf88900bc, 0xf888fdb8) "Gerry Cornell" wrote: Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, StartUp and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. There will also be Error Reports in Event Viewer. Please post copies. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware, Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code? Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked. -- Hope this helps. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Pradipta" wrote in message ...

Computer problem
I seem to be having the same problem. My computer boots up then shuts off
periodically, either two minutes to an hour. Im thinking it could be this "Blaster" virus, but my computer doesnt give me a notice that it is going to shut down, it just does. Is this the same virus, or a different one all together? Any help will be appreciated |
