Running XP and the pc began turning off suddenly, now it turns off all the time. Tried to run a virus scan but it turned off so it couldn't finish it. I also tried restoring it to an earlier time but wouldn't complete it either... can't do much now, what can I do?

Jump to PostLet's hope a clean up will sort it as it is by far the cheapest thing to try first.
