Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Performance / October 2003Comp shut down
A friend's comp. running Win98 will shut down about 5 minutes after booting up. It does so all the time and needs to be reset before booting again. It doesn't matter what she is in the middle of doing, it simply shuts off of it's own accord. Any ideas? > A friend's comp. running Win98 will shut down about 5 > minutes after booting up.

The computer is probably over heating. or Check for viruses. Blaster.Worm can cause this. Well thats windows 98 for you aint it! >-----Original Message----- >A friend's comp. running Win98 will shut down about 5 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >it's own accord. Any ideas? >. More info would help. For instance, when she 'resets', does it then run without a problem or does it shut down after 5 min again? Has she done an up-to-date virus check. How long has this problem been going on? Any error messages? Does it just 'freeze' or just shut down requiring a push on the On button to restart or does it simply just reboot by itself? Not much to work with here. > A friend's comp. running Win98 will shut down about 5 > minutes after booting up. It does so all the time and > needs to be reset before booting again.
