System randomly shuts down and restarts Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 12:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Lynn (30 messages posted) For approx a month now my system has been randomly shutting down. No error message, no blue screen. It just shuts down and restarts right away. I've run various scans thinking it might be a virus but nothing has shown up. I've run Malware Bytes, Adaware, Spybot, AdvancedSystemCare. Adaware did find Win32.Adware.BHO but removed it. At first it would shutdown every 3 to 4 days. After I ran AdvancedSystemCare registry cleaner it didn't shut down for over a week. Then the other day it was 4 times. Once the next day and nothing the past couple days. I've checked the power cord to make sure it's secure. I also ran a Memory Test this morning using Memtest 86+. It came back saying the memory was fine. Any suggestions welcomed at this point!! Thanks!
