I am using XP SP2 and my computer screen blacks out ; my CPU turns off by itself after using it for like 3 minutes.
It is very frustrating when I do my work and I don't know what to do with it! The CD slot opens automatically by itself, when I try to turn it on after it blacks out. Also, I can’t turn it on, I must wait for about 5 minutes to do so.
Is it possible to stay on my Windows without formatting my PC.
Please help me!

My Computer Turn off automatically itself.
When such an error occurs. It mainly depends on the computer registry. The problem occurs mostly when the computer is affected highly by a virus. Therefore, an Antivirus must be installed to protect your computer and avoid restarting by itself.
Mostly make use of the Antivirus by updating it to protect the latest viruses that can be transported to your computer system. Without an Antivirus, the computer overheats and it restarts every after switching it on.
