so do you think it could be a virus, or my pc on the way out, or just a stupid pc thing that might right itself if it feels like!

I'm not that up on 2000 but is there some sort of .log file she couild check?

Re: erratic shut down!!
 

Yeah, the eventlog...here goes:

1) Go to Start > Run > type "eventvwr".
2) Click on Application on the left then double click the ones which have an error.
3) Copy and paste a couple of them into here.

Also, do the same for the System part.
