computer starts and stops in startup

by hamiltos1956 . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

All of a sudden, the computer shuts itself off. Then when I go to restart it, it will start, get to the windows page and even at varying times get to the front page … and then SHUT DOWN. I restart it in safe mode and the problem persists. Got XP. Can I create a startup disk to do diagnositics, virus scan etc. I have norton virus running in background for constant updates but could it be a virus or hardware or ..other problem. Thoughts?
