Hello Janet

Apologies for your wait.

I have just checked both of the logs submitted and can find nothing remarkable about either.

The symptoms you describe do not sound like malware, but does sound more like hardware, in particular, overheating. Is your CPU fan noisy?

Please post in our hardware forum.

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for having a look at the logs.

I suspected malware rather than hardware for a number of reasons:

The fan isn't noisy.
The attempt to shutdown can occur at any time including straight after I have switched on (i.e. before it has time to get hot)
The shutdown is accompanied by explorer and calculator windows popping up which seems odd.

An added problem is that if I leave the computer plugged in it will also start up at random intervals.

This occurs even if the PC is not connected to the modem i.e. the start up is not in response to any command "coming down the line"

I'm very confused.

I will take your advice and log on the hardware forum but if you have any other ideas please let me know

Cheers
JayBee

Hello Janet

I'll have a look beneath the surface if you wish, but can you recall installing anything just before all this stuff started happening?

The other thing is perhaps scanning for changes to your OS.

Run System File Checker, to make sure all of your protected files are not corrupt. The scan will automatically replace any corrupt files that it finds.

Click Start
Select Run
At the prompt type sfc /scannow Please note that there is a single space between sfc and /scannow.

Typing this will start the programme, and a box should appear telling you how much longer the process should take.

Sometimes the scan will prompt you for your Windows XP disc upon starting the scan. if this happens please make sure that you can view protected files:My Computer
Tools
Folder Options
View
"Uncheck" Hide protected operating system files.
Then rerun the scan.

Once the scan is complete:

Check your Windows Updates! After using the File Protection Service, you might need to reapply some updates.

Please reboot, and let me know if anything has changed.

Also, please rehide the protected files:My Computer
Tools
Folder Options
View
"Check" Hide protected operating system files.
Now let's scan a little deeper.

Download:WinPFind

Right Click the Zip Folder and Select "Extract All"

Don't use it yet!

Restart in Safe Mode

From the WinPFind folder-> Doubleclick WinPFind.exe and Click "Start Scan"

It will scan the entire System, so please be patient!

One you see "Scan Complete"-> a log (WinPFind.txt) will be automatically generated in the WinPFind folder.

Restart normally and post the contents of WinPFind.txt


"Edit,
As there has been no reply from the original poster this topic is now closed,
Should you have any further problems please create a new Topic,

Thanks "
