so my computer has been acting really strange lately. if u remeber, my mouse was all jacked up before (i posted a topic about it for help)

but now my computer wont stay on for more than about 20 minutes. It started out one day that it just wouldnt boot up, but then i started it in safe mode and checked everything, and then the computer could boot up normally. but it still wont stay on for any length of time. i updated all my virus protection and spyware software and im scanning my computer a lot but it wont stay on long enough to complete the scan.

Im thinking that its a power supply problem, for i have had a problem with it before, however a few tech guys i talked to think that its some kindda virus.

if anyone is good with this stuff, i would really appericate your help

Maybe overheating problem? Check temperatures right after shutdown in your BIOS (press del or F2 when the comp counts its memory).

If it's power supply disconnect you graphics adapter and use the onboard one. If the comp stays on then it's probably your power supply.

Processor could be overheating. It will shutdown if it gets to hot. Check your fans.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
