my xp keeps shutting down

[regina]

My windows xp keeps shutting down. Everytime I go on line
after I've been on for about 5min a warning comes on
telling me that my computer is shutting down. Any Ideas
on this probblem?

I doubt this is it, but one thing you can check is in My Computer
Properties. Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Startup &
Recovery > Uncheck "automatically restart".

Your XP machine shouldn't be crashing frequently, but this is somewhere to
start. Something like this would probably only be figured out through
process of elimination. Also, sounds like it could be a hardware issue.
Are you exceeding the min. system requirements?

Sounds like you have the MSBlast virus - try searching this
NG and you will find hundreds (probably thousands!) of
similar posts.
