My computer starts up but when it gets to the main screen a message pops up and says something like "the system was shut down unexpectedly your security has locked the system"(sorry I'll post what it says tomorrow can't remember) then under that there is a timer and it say will shut down in 60 seconds After it shuts down it turns back on and the same message pops up and it shuts down again. Does anyone know whats wrong?

sry i try again.
Try while booting up to push a few times F8, i mean when PC starts, and you see the screen, "pres this button to enter Bios", after that you should emediatly start pushing F8. After that you will get options to start in safe mode, so click on safe mode. When the pc booted upthen,
1.-click on start
-->all programms
-->accessories
-->system tools
-->SYSTEM RESTORE
-->chose a point of time you want to restore to

about system restore: all data you have downloaded or Insalled can and will be gone, after a secsussfull system restore.

I hope this instruction was more understandable then my first.^^
