vista shuts down unexpectedly

i have kaspersky intenet security 2012, and have been dealing with their techs for two months now without resolution. my pc is not overclocked and has not been altered from factory equipment. hp m8000n, vista home premium, amd athlon 64x2 dual core, 2gb sdram pc2-5300. the problem started with sheduled scans on kaspersky not running, stuck at 0 files 1% scanned until manually stoping and restarting the scan. it found a few trojans which i was unable to delete or send to them for analysis. i looked for them by the path name but could not find them to delete manually. they gave me some settings to change for the scans but things just got worse. my email was spamming other people but the emails do not appear in my outbox or sent folder. shortly after this windows started shutting down whenever i ran a full scan. i do not think it was because of the full scan but because the scan takes so long to run it would happen before the scan would complete. i noticed it was only happening when the computer was in use, on the internet or using other programs. i stopped using the internet except to download updates for kaspersky or windows. now the computer shuts down within 1-10 mins of startup, whether in safe mode, safe with command, safe with network, repair windows, last know good config, or normal mode. i have tried system restore which has run through the entire process but after restart it says it did not complete successfully, cpu was not restored to x date/time etc. i have tried all thier online virus removal tools which find nothing, the lastest version of kaspersky rescue disc which will not run from boot or after on usb and on cd. the recovery disc gives an error that says filesystem unknown and gives a command prompt i can type into but does nothing, boot, start, run, etc. i have even tried to recover windows using my vista boot discs, nothing doing. the only thing that has worked was running the hp diagnostic tools disc which checks the hardware. this completes all tests and does not show any problems with the hardware, though the factory atapi disc drive does not read discs anymore. i now use an external lg dvd-rw drive which works fine. from other forum entries here and what the kaspersky techs have guessed im hearing that this is a hardware problem, either from excessive heat or voltage spikes. my computer does not show any error messages for windows when it does start and the hardware diagnostic came out fine. i think it is a rootkit, i do not have the computer in a cabinet and the inlet an outlet air ports are both clear. the computer does not feel warm but the fan does rev pretty high at times. the computer will not stay on long enough to remove some software the techs advised me to remove, i cannot find them in prgrams and features nor by following the path to the folders where they should be. can anyone offer any help that doesnt require me to spend $300 to take it to geek squad? please, i am desperate.

Hi Mike.

First of all, do you have any files that you would like to save before we continue?

We will try to delete the virus, but if that fails, we will most likely have to end up re-installing windows.

Do you have a vista installation disk with you; or a USB drive (for the virus removal attempt).

i have lots of files that i want to save but unfortunately they are on the C:/ drive. i am not posting from the computer in question, i am using my laptop with windows7. saving any files necessary from the C:/ drive would require the computer to run for longer than five minutes which it will not do. i have also tried booting vista from my vista dvd's that i created the day i got the computer (hp was too cheap to spring for microsoft os discs). as for the temperature of the cpu i am unsure but i have it at floor level raised off the carpet with a/c running and a ceiling fan costantly running. the room temp is 76F i try not to let it get above 78F. if there is cool air being pulled into the computer and unobstructed airflow around the case i cant imagine it getting too much warmer than that. my cpu fan definately works, its pretty loud in this small room. i will try to run the test and post results if possible. currently the cpu will not run long enough to download 1 item from windows update or get the definition updates from kaspersky. i have tried running several tools/tests from kaspersky from my thumb drive with very limited success. its almost like the cpu knows that im getting close to fixing it or at least finding out what the problem is then it shuts down. i have noticed that if i leave the computer off for a couple days before trying to do anything it seems to run a bit longer before the black screen cycle starts. once it shuts down the first time on a givin day of repair attempts, the actual run time (if there is any) before it shuts down gets shorter. at times trying to boot in safe mode will make it up to just before the windows logo appears and it jumps back to the hp blue boot menu screen. i have posted in the kaspersky forums as well to no avail, the only response i got there was spam. i forgot to mention earlier that i ran their tdss killer scan/app which is supposed to take care of rootkits but from their forums i get the impression that there are several versions of it that work for particular bios builds or versions of the different os's. i appreciate the input, i will try to run the test.

how would i delete the virus if i have not identified what or where the virus is? i tried booting vista and repairing vista from my vista dvd's it has not worked yet.

not sure what all this means, the only relevant information i saw here were the timers and proccessor speed which still doesnt tell me much. i didnt see anything about the fan speed temp, video card etc. i could be missing it. hope this helps.
tried to run windows update after this test to get the one update it doesnt have and it immediately shut down again. also kaspersky doesnt start on its own in safe mode, it does run once i start it but the cpu wont run long enough to update or scan, doesnt this sound like virus infection behavior to you?

I don't know if Patonb can make use of that, cause I don't see anything unusual in that log.

Anyways.

Do you have anything worth keeping on the computer?
Try using a start-up virus scan, do you have a USB flash drive?

what kind of startup virus scan? kaspersky scan tools will only run once windows is booted and the regular scans dont finish before windws crashes, more like flatlines. there are no warning prompts, the screen just goes black and the power light on the tower simultaneously goes off. they have what they call a rescue disc but as stated above booting from it doesnt work. even running that once windows has started doesnt work. there are compatability issues with the rescue disc. i have mawarebytes but you cant boot with it and vista wont run long enough to finish the scan.

Thanks for the dump, that gives some info on your system.

If you're sure on the Temps, then they're good.

Kaspersky has a version you stick onto a usb stick, which you boot your computer with.
How to record Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to an USB device and boot my computer from it?

This might be your solution, if the issue is malware.

ok patonb, youre on the right track (i think). kaspersky rescue disc 10 was one of the multitude of different antivirus/malware/recovery attemps made using all kaspersky advised first, then windows restore, windows repair, reapiring windows from vista dvd's... malwarebytes made it far enough to find a few tracking cookies before vista flatlined. i have ran the hp hardware diagnostic which passed all tests. but back to the rescue disc, apparently there are several versions out there but the one you mention is the only one i can find. it does not work. when i use the boot menu to boot from the disc, it says 'grub error filesystem unknown' then gives a command line 'recue>' that goes nowhere. i have tried typing 'start, run, begin, scan, restore, rescue, and even boot' nothing gets me past the 'grub error' line. i also tried booting it from my usb drive where i had the app saved which did nothing at all, and running it from the disc and usb drive after windows started. neither gets me past 'grub error'. i read on their user forum that there are different versions of the tdss killer which should also take care of any rootkit problems, and the rescue disc, which will or wont work with different versions of vista or bios revisions. i asked their techs, called them several times checked the user forums and the only thing i got back was emails telling me to remove software i cant find on my cpu and spam in the user forum. do you know anything about the different versions of the rescue disc? my bios revision isnt in my specs on here but i can paste in my post from the kaspersky forum which has it listed.

It6 needs to be booted from.

You need to go into the bios and set the usb hdd as 1st boot. Or even cd as first boot

The information that you provided from CPUID is essentially worthless since it doesn't give any real temperatures. I would download Hmonitor from here-

Download Hmonitor for free - Fileforum

and run it. Monitor the CPU and Graphics card temperatures until the thing shuts down. This sounds like a CPU thermal problem.

my dvdrw drive is ahead of my C:/ drive in boot order. it does boot from the drive before starting vista, which made me think that repairing vista from installation dvds would be able to repair vista before it started would be a workaround to vista crashing but that did not work, or hasnt yet. it does the same thing that repairing windows from the f8 screen does; brings up a blue screen telling me it needs to check if parts of the os are missing or damaged before it can repair or replace them and that it will take several minutes (hours) and may restart several times during the process. it starts checking and i get a moving status bar to tell me that it is working. then the screen goes black the power light goes off and im right back at square one. i have waited for it, im surprised i have any patience left, but it does not restart until i push the power button minutes, hours, or days later. upon restart it does not resume the repair or give any indication that one has begun or failed. as for the usb drive, i can chose to boot from it if i wish to do so but nothing happens, the screen goes black momentarily with a cursor that blinks a few times the fan spins and i can hear the C:/ drive spin up then shortly after silence and the power light goes off.
to boot something like this does the thumb drive need to be empty apart from the tool or app i am trying to boot with? i have not deleted any of the tools/apps from kaspersky or the acompanying reports for the ones that did actually run.
i have no shortage of discs within reason but i dont want 15 versions of the rescue disc that i cant use. isnt there some way of knowing which version is for which bios build and version of vista? the reason i ask is because i know my cpu boots from the dvd drive automatically, it was set that way from the factory and i never changed it for that reason.

Such unexpected shut downs occurs due to system failure or many a time due to over heating of the system. There should be an appropriate way to exhaust. These unexpected shut downs usually occurs when we are continuously working on the System like Laptops etc. and the system gets over heated and turns into shutdown unexpectedly.

Johhny is right, but he said his temperatures are low, like 30's C

I'd suggest using usb drives, saves disks, but theres only 1 version for all models. In that event, you'll have to switch boot order, or sometimes f12 on boot allows you to choose too.

Have youj opened up your computer and looked for dust?

I suggested downloading HMonitor to check the temperatures since 29-31 is unrealistically low and it doesn't specify what that temperature is for. Actually, I should have suggested HWMonitor but either one will fit the bill.

27 is too low. Mine stays at 45-47 just while idling on desktop

You're correct. Sorry about that. I get the feeling that he didn't look at the actual temperatures during operations. I get a BSOD on my Win 7 work station because I occasionally block one of the air inlet ports for the graphics card with my legs. I can watch the temperature go to 64 degree C and poof, BSOD. However, if the CPU overheats on a machine, it usually causes a complete shutdown with no BSOD.

Right now, with nothing happening in the background, the core temperatures are ranging from 46 to 49 degrees and the graphics is running in the mid 50's.

Just to throw in another suggestion... if it's not overheating, bad RAM can cause computers to shut down/crash unexpectedly. I'd probably run MemTest86 and see if there's any errors.
