Hello People Of The Internet!

I am having some problems with my Windows 7 computer. One day, my computer just randomly turned off! I went to turn it back on, and it turned off about 3 seconds later. After, it didn't do it, so I ignored it...

Yesterday I was upstairs in my mom's room with her because my dad had a baseball meeting and didn't want me down there annoying everyone. I was watching some KYR SP33DY on YouTube and it turned off. I went to turn it back on, and not even a second after it turned on it turned off. This continued for about 2 minutes straight. It eventually turned on, and it made me go to the repair thing. It ran for 2 hours! It eventually said there was an 'error' and I restarted the computer. I started it up normally and it did some research. Most sources say it's a virus, however, I did a full virus scan the first time it happened AND I deleted my entire hard drive when I upgraded it to Windows 8. Others say it was because it overheated, however, it doesn't get that hot when it happens. My computer is almost 2 years old and the hard drive is (maybe) a year old. The old one crashed. What should I do? I have to wait until July 29 to get another one.

Thanks! :D
