computer shuts self off....

sailorvenus · 10-15-2007, 02:58 AM

Hello. Sorry to have to be back again.

The first thing I noticed is that when I went to Add/Remove programs to remove SunJava, it wouldnt load. I let it sit there for about 20 minutes and nothing would load. I couldnt click on anything, had to restart the computer just to make it go away. So I went ahead and uninstalled it through CCleaner.
Now the Windows Update icon has been sitting in my system tray for the past two days at 0%. I tried going to the update page, but it keeps freezing and i have to use Task Manager to shut the page down.
Than yesterday when i was trying to run CCleaner my computer kept shutting off, and when my husband was trying to print something it shut off.
My computer has been moving way slower than usually also. I ran spybot, and adaware and both found nothing.

Heres the pandascan log...

Hello sailorvenus,

This does not appear to be a malware issue. I would suggest the following:

Click Start>Run and type in sfc /scannow (there is a space between sfc and /) and let it scan for missing/corrupt files. This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem. If it finds any problems, it will prompt you for the Windows 2000 Install disc so have it handy.

If any issues are found, or remain, please begin a thread in the Windows 2000 section of this forum.

sailorvenus · 10-19-2007, 01:41 PM

Unfortunately I don't have that disk...Does that mean I'm screwed?

Ried · 10-19-2007, 09:57 PM

Could be. Judging by your previous threads, this system has had issues for quite some time. All I can suggest then is to talk to the folks in Windows 2000 and see if they can help you out with these OS issues.

sailorvenus · 10-20-2007, 06:12 AM

thank you...

Ried · 10-20-2007, 06:15 AM

You're welcome. Good luck with it.
