Why does my computer shut down ? How can i fix it ? I've had my computer for about 5 or 6 yrs, I installed a new harddrive about 2 yrs ago. About 2 months ago my computer started shutting down by itself, now when it shuts down it makes a funny beeping sound and the green light on the p.c. stays on but the monitor light turns yellow and the screen is completely black or says NO SIGNAL. At first somebody told me it could be the fan, so i installed a stronger fan and cleaned out the harddrive to start from scratch. The computer was good for about 2 weeks and then started shutting down again. I checked on the RAM cards and they seem to be fine. The computer does not have any set time that it turns off, sometimes it shuts down within an hour and sometimes it can take 5 hours. Lately it's been shutting down pretty quickly, its also been freezing on me wich is funny because the first time it wasn't freezing . I have Nortons Antivirus and Adaware but the PC don't stay on long enough for me to run a full scan. Time 4 a new PC ?
Does this sound like a virus? Ok its happened to me twice today. Ive noticed that the taskbar on my Windows XP computer just randomly happened to look like Windows Classic. When I click on start, the menu is fine however the bar isnt. Ive also noted that some of the search results Ive had on Google are slightly weird e.g. when I searched "How to be neat" it gave me things like "43 things" which I doubt are top searches. Ive got Nortons Antivirus 2005 as well as Ad Aware Personal. both of which are old editions. Ill also run a Windows Live Safety scan from the website to be sure. Any other suggestions? I dont really want to go out and spend loads of money on software, yet neither do I want to have a dead computer. What do u I think I can do? Is this just a normal problem? If u do want to know why I searched "How to be neat" its because I spilt ink all over my book today and I was told this week that my handwriting was the worst in my class... :@.

When I go to the normal MLB page everything is fine. I can see today's scores and stuff. Also when I post a message on a forum and come back after visiting other pages my posts aren't shown.
