sounds like you got a sneaky virus. run a virus scan and if it does not detect it formatt your hard drive.if you want back up any important files first. hope this helps.cheers.

Naders,

to be franck, im not sure its a virus! Anyway i recomend you to firstly :

Install avira anti virus, this is damn good to track virus!

If not virus detected, it should be that you deleted a start up program of file, thats y your pc is shutting down

hi naders,
the best solution is that you buy a good anti virus now it is avira so buy it and simply scan your pc,,,,,,these viruses are too nasty when their extinction
