My computer started to turn itself off without any error report.First I
thought it was because of the fan and I changed the settings. But nothing has
changed.It turns itself off without any error messages but starts off as if I
had not properly turned it off .PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE HELP ME.
 
Could you please give a bit more information
like:
when exactly it happens
what kind of shutdown...fast/slow...
Does it happen in safe mode too
Can you check the event log
Did you change anything recently (except for the fan settings as you
mentioned)

If you're not even getting an error message, it's really most likely to be a
hardware problem. This is usually, but not always, due to the system
overheating. I don't know what sort of "settings" you could change for your
fan (and I don't know which fan it is!).
 
There is no certain time or even a period for the intervals it shutdowns
rapidly...
I've not tried using in the safe mode.
I guess I did not change anything.
By the way I dont know how to check the event log.

For overheating open the computer case and blow out all the dust using a can
of compressed air - these can be had from a computer supplies store. Clean
all fans. Turn the system on. Are all the fans running? Another
possibility is the power supply unit is failing. One way to check that is
to swap it out with a known working one.

With the system running set it not to restart on error to see if it will
display an error message. Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced |
Startup and Troubleshooting (I don't have XP open in front of me so I am
doing these by memory and might not be exactly correct.) Change it to not
restart on an error.
