Hi,
I don't know why my computer suddently shut down itself, is it likely to be
hardware problem or software problem? only if I run certain software will
have such a problem, not every single program. Whenever I run that program
for ~15 mins, it will have such a problem, is that mean that software
contains virus? Please help.

Does it "bluescreen" or completely cut itselft off? If the later,think
likely powersupply -esp.if problem is worse under heavier use. Otherwise,
virus/scumware sounds likely.
 
It couls also be a virus. MS Blaster worm causes XP to shutdown if it
detects an Internet connection.
 
Actually, I am using windows 2000 advance server, i just thought that this
may be hardware problem so i post in this newsgroup.
There's no blue screen at all, just cut off itself.
So far i encounter such a problem with 2 programs. One is when I am playing
the old DOS game. The other is when I am using the Rosetta Stone software.
All other program seems to be fine, even I run the Nero burner, it seems to
use lots of power and cpu time, but there's no problem with the comptuer.
Is it likely to be Virus?

Thanks
