Well, today while I was just doing stuff on my computer, it just turned off. No windows is shutting down or anything, the fans turned off, and the light on the tower turned off. Now when I turn it on it makes 5 consecutive beeps(I do not know what that means), and it just turns back off after 30 seconds of being turned on..

I saw that too. But 'not used' sounds like it means the code is not actually used?

Count again. I tend to think it's either RAM or video. Try re-seating the video card and re-seating the RAM. If that does not help try booting with single sticks of RAM to isolate the culprit. If that does bot work re-set CMOS to defaults and if that fails try another video card.

[strike]It goes high to low, like it says there but it doesn't last for 8 seconds. it goes like BEEE-BOOO 4 times... [/strike]

Alright, I figured it out. I think my thermal paste is old, and the fact that my fan is dusty doesn't help that either. I figured it out when I got my computer to start windows, but when I tried to run anything that used more than 10% of the processor it would shut off. So I opened up my computer, and when I moved my head over the processor I could feel the warmth.. it was hotter than everything else in the computer.
