Machine shutdowns over and over again

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

What operating system?
Are there any messages?
If so exactly what?
The details you left out leave only a guess...
Sasser Worm is making the rounds:

Well I would have thought the OS was obvious in a Windows XP newsgroup ;-)

And I mentioned that is just shuts down (i.e. no error messages).

And I also mentioned about this latest virus (which you mention is Sasser).

According to a check on the MS site my computer does NOT have the Sasser
virus. I already have ALL patches from WU, but it still shutdowns almost
immediately after it's fully loaded up into Windows.

I will look at the links and see if any help.
