"Computer help PLEASE"

My computer keeps having to shut down every few minutes due to some random system failure. It gives me 1 minute to stop everything I'm doing then restarts. It's really annoying because I'm trying to revise for two tests and I am doing past paper questions and reading over things on the net. Do any of you know what might be causing it or have an idea how to fix it? If it comes down I'll make a note of exactly what it says and post it here but any help you can give now would be much appreciated, thanks guys and gals.

You wont get the patch before it reboots.

You have to stop it by opening a DOS window and typing in a command, i cant remember what the command is at the moment, but i will dig around.

This link will take you to an online virus checker from Panda..try it if AVG doesn't work.

I downloaded the patch and I couldn't find this MSBlast thing in the running processes place so I think the patch fixed it. I shall report back if it happens again though. Thanks people:D

Ye, check here:

Thats the information regarding the item.

Here is the removal tool if you don't have antivirus software:

Maybe you will need to do the patch first?

More info?

I tried to download your virus program but it wouldn't download so I have scrapped that. It hasn't happened in a while though so maybe it sorted itslef out when it restarted for the hundredth time.

How are you getting on anyway Cub!st?
