unexpected shutdown

I have been trying to help a friend with a Win 2000 problem. The computer has suddenly become agonizingly slow, and in addition will shut down and restart without warning. My suspicion is possibly a bad memory chip, defective power supply, or a possible virus. Because of the frequent shutdowns, we have been unable to run any kind of virus scan (sometimes the computer will only stay on two or three minutes from power up), so can't rule out a virus. Has anyone experienced this sort of problem? If so, what might be the cause and the cure?
