Trying to help a friend with her computer, She said it shuts down after she boots it up, and that its at random, either 15 seconds or will stay on for up to 3 hours, was guessing it could be a virus, anyones help would be appreciated! thanks!

Is it shutting down or Switching Off suddenly?

[KaminariR]

Switching off suddenly, its a toshiba, about a couple years old, couple people have said toshibas are known for this problem.

i have a dell 360 that does that.
try leaving the pc alone for two days to a week flat.
if it stays on for more than 3 hours then it might be a dimm or mother board issue.

you could also try updating the BIOS with a fresh file via the vendor website;
this can have startling results.

i guess this is just an OS issue
