Hi.

a little while ago, my pc started shutting off randomly. i checked the event manager and it turns out that the pc is shutting off because of a sudden loss of power.

then, i noticed something in my boot loader. when booting up my computer, there's some sort of russian writing under TOOLS in the bootloader menu.....

something like :

ANaRHOCTNKa naMRTN

is this a virus? a hack? is this the reason my pc keeps shutting down?
and what does this russian writing mean?

my computer has nothing to do with russia. i live in pakistan and i never chose russian as an option under languages and settings or anything else of the sort.
 
Solution
You probably have an illegitimate Windows install that was done by russian hackers. Double check your key validation.

If it is a hacked version, you'll need to do a fill AV scan and then buy a legitimate key.
