XP shutdowns whilst attempting to run programs

sarimdesert · May 28, 2013

Hi,
My computer was runnning fine until it began to shut down when i ran diskcleanup or any of my games, I removed a bunch of useless stuff and freed up space on the local drive but the problem still persists, It doesn't even tell me what is causing the shutdown, It just shuts down and when i boot it, it boots perfectly, so is there a fix to this prob. or would you recommend a windows re-install?

Hello, heat can cause this to happen. If dust build up on a fan in the computer it will be slower or not work at all. Clean the computer with compressed air. Also, I had a virus on windows xp a long time ago doing the same things, I got a timer that windows was going to shut down in 15 secs and nothing would stop that, no reason. Only way to fix at the time was reinstall windows without being plugged in to internet then install virus scanners, then use internet to update. If you install windows while plugged in to internet and no virus scanners installed somehow I still kept getting the virus so need to do it in that order.

I'd like to add that the programs do run but close in about 2-5 secs or a minute.
