How new are you saying it is?
If there is a warranty still valid on it?
I would suggest taking it to the shop and letting them fix it under warranty.
It sounds like one of the below:

It sounds like one of the below:
- Heat caused by faulty or failed fan which most likely will be the CPU fan.
- Motherboard
- PSU

I would suggest if there is a virus not making a recovery set of disks till you are sure it is clean.
Also when you have it looked at I would advise you let them know if there is anything you want to save on the hd like pictures or data.
Not knowing the type of infection she may have it is going to be hard to tell what files can and cannot be saved.
In most instances they may just wipe the drive and do a fresh install depending on the issue.
Please let us know what they say what the issue is.
I'm willing to bet either PSU or Motherboard.

Got the computer back and it was a dead hard drive. It was covered by the warranty. I now have an operating disk also. I ordered it from acer site and the price was really reasonable. Thanks for the help. This is the best site ever for anyone needing help.
