Solve : computer shut down by itself? |
|
Answer» weeks ago my computer started shutting down on its own. I am running windows 2000 Pro. I ATTEMPTED several times to virus scan but it shutss down in the middle of the scan. I have looked at the event log and don't really understand what I am seeing. Code #'s or fault #'s. 10006,10009,6005,6006,6009,7001,7026,10010,17. Can you help me figure out what is going on?Will it do the same in safe mode? I did start it in safe mode and it didn't shut down but sometimes it will work for hours and not shutdown. And in the time that it does stay on, what are you not doing that you would do when it shuts down immediatly? What are your system specifications? Have you scanned for Viruses, Trojan Horses and spyware when you have had the chance? Virus scanners AVG Free -- Anti virus scanner Trend Micro Housecall -- Online anti virus scanner.

Especially the Power Supply name and amount of wattages it is capable of delivering. The power supply is CompUSA 300 watt ATX. Interesting developement! I started the computer in safe mode. Attempted to defrag drive and it warned me I did not have ENOUGH memory to defrag. I DELETED a few files I could afford to loose and tried again. This time it started to defrag but somewhere before completion, it shut down again. This time yes, in the safe mode.I just received a warning that i was low on virtual memory.
