Background: My computer (Windows XP) shuts off and restarts all by itself 5-8 times a day for the last 6 weeks. I can have 3 programs running or none. Only once have I received the "countdown" error message. I get alot of random error messages. Most recently, "service and controller application error". Also, System Restore will not go back to any restore point. (I've since turned it off as one tech page "suggested").
I've been told I: "don't have a virus"---Trend Help Desk
"increase RAM to 2G from current 1G"--local Frye's Tech
"could be power supply malfunctioning"---another local tech
Really at wit's end. Could use any help/advice.
Below is my HijackThis log:
