So my computer just randomly shuts down. I dont know what the problem is. I try to run a virus scan but i cant even make a succesfull scan without my computer shutting down. It turns of in safe mode too. How do i fix this? and also i cant system restore it. i press F10 and nothing happens.

How old is your computer? More details?

If it was a virus problem, system restore wouldn't get rid of it anyways. Anyways, your problem seems like it's overheating.

Ur computer is overheating, time how long it takes to shut down, then turn it off for 3-5 hours maybe less and turn it back on and see if it stays on significantly longer, if so open your computers case and take out the fan over your processor clean the heatsink and the fan and maybe wipe off your processor gently, this should fix the problem, do some other cleaning while your in there. if its a laptop go to walmart and buy a coolmat to put under it to keep it cool. hope this helps

Clean the fan on the back of your computer, your computer is overheating.

ironpenguin : ...well, the first thing you can do is NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY yeah, it sounds like overheating to me, try opening the case and clearing dust out of it Don't used an vacuum cleaner to clean it though. It builds up static electricity. Used an compress air can. You can have someone used the vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust particle from afar though, when you are blowing out the dust with the can.
