PC Shuts Down
Yes, I can boot in Safe Mode. One time as my PC has rebooted itself, it automatically went to the screen where I Can choose in what Mode I want to restart. It said that this was because Windows wasn’t shut down correctly. Checked Event Viewer. The only Programs I installed during the last months were Virus Scanners (as Spybot and Ad-Aware), and Updates of Programs that were already installed on my PC (newer Divx Version etc). Nope, theres no sign of an error Message at all. Ad-Aware found 2 possible Browser Hijack attempts, Something called Coolweb Search (That may have been the annoying thing that changed my Start Homepage of the Browser) and many many tracking cookies. Spybot found nothing that wasn’t already there before the Problems occured. But maybe I should mention that the computer also shutted down often during my less pleasent meeting with Sasser. But there wasn’t this Command window thing that at least gave me a countdown to when the PC reboots. I am using Windows XP 2000 Professional Home Edition. I also thought of an Hardware Problem like CPU heat etc. therefore I took my Harddrive and connected it to the computer of a friend of mine, who uses different Hardware. And there were ecactly the same problems. Since I’m using two Harddrives (One Main with all the Programs and One as pure data Storage) I also connected the secound to my friends PC, and it also ran without any Problems. Therefore I figure that it must be a software Problem on my Main Drive.
