computer shuts off before virus scan completes
« on: March 24, 2006, 02:36:18 AM »
I have a problem with my pc, in that it invariably shuts off for no reason.  I have tried to scan my hard drive for viruses related to this problem, but my computer always shuts off before the scan is complete.  What should I do?  Thank you!

Welcome to the forums, stinky_hippie.    :)

We will need a little more info before helping. What OS, anti-virus, other security programs, any warning messages, etc ???

Thanks for your response.  My computer is running Wndows xp, with service pack 2.   My computer completely shuts down; no blue screen, when this problem occurs.
