    Hi,I just got my old computer wiped yesterday after it's been in the garage for 2 years because it had a pretty bad virus it, but after I got on for like 10-20 minutes It just shut down for no reason. I remember it use to do that before it got really bad and I had to put it away but it can't be the virus since I wiped the computer...........any suggestions?

    As I understand what you have said you did a complete format of the hard drive and then reinstalled the OS and all the motherboard chipset drivers. Yes?

    Have you carried out all the checks as suggested here:
