I have been using computer for over a year now and suddenly about a minute after startup it just stops, all goes black, fans stop spinning. Tried again on second OS/hard drive (duel boot machine) and same thing. Started machine again and entered bios, after in bios about a minute it shut down again. I believe this tells me that its not a virus but a hardware problem. I am going to remove the processor and reapply the heatsink. Does anyone else have any ideas, the power supply is about a year old so I think its ok(ozc 850 watt) please reply if you have anything to add....thanks

    What is your CPU temperature in the BIOS?
