Computer turns on and shuts off
« on: August 06, 2010, 10:54:32 AM »
Every time we turn on our desktop computer it says to start windows normally or launch repair thingy. Well, right after we start  it normally it shuts off and the same thing with the launch repair. We got it started once and it was on for a few hours then it shut down again. We don't know what to do, there blaming me!! I race online on NASCAR racing 2003 and when I downloaded it we still had over 300gb of memory. We did get a virus but I got it removed. Can someone please help us!! (I'm typing on a laptop for this). We do got a 3 year warranty on it and we have had it for a year and a half.

Thanks,
Eric


EDIT: It didn't save from when it shut down, my mom deleted all me online racing stuff and there all back.

This is often a sign of overheating.
Let it cool off.
Put a fan behind it.
