Shutdown right at start-up

[valeroo]

My computer has to have some kind of virus, but I haven't found out what it is. Basically a few days ago it started going on stand-by on its own, then it shut down once or twice too. Now, every time I turn on my computer in about the same second that it takes to say windows is starting up, it says it's preparing to shut down. Now I don't even have the opportunity to scan my computer again for any virus. Anybody know what bug this is? :-/

Hello Valeroo - welcome to the forums.

Here is an extract from the very first post on all forums from CH Admin.

List as much of your computer specifications as possible. This includes operating system, service packs, computer make/model, RAM, hard drive, sound and video cards, current adware/spyware/virus programs being used on a regular basis, do you have a "real" Windows CD, etc.

Have you tried starting in Safe mode (F8 at startup) & scanning for malware :-?

Need more info on your system.
