OK i need somehelp with my computer if you don't mind! It keeps shutting off when ever i turn it on! Does anyone know whats wrong or how i can fix it? Also before you ask, the fan is running obnoxiously loud, is the computer overheated or what? All help would be appriciated. Thanks!
Sounds like your computer is either overheating or the power supply is nackered. Most likely to be the power supply. Is your power supply cable in properly? Try taking it out. blowing inside the socket then put it back in.
Maybe your computer needs a clean, might be filled with dust.
If one of the fans is really loud it means its either working too hard or its just a loud fan.
Might need a new heatsink.
Might need more air flow in your case.
My bets are on power supply.

Thanks! But some of that i dont really know what you mean. Can you please explain?
I tried unplugging everything and plugging it back in. After i plugged something in to a socket i saw a flash of electrcity, is that bad?
Maybe should have switched off the power first? dont wanna kill you....

I have no idea to be honest, do you get any error messages or anything?

You may have corrupted some of the drivers or something.

I have never seen that kind of error before, probably fake, so I believe you got a virus.

Ok, how do you get rid of a virus?
download a virus protection software, I'm sorry but most virus protection software costs money. 
Thats not a fake error.

Do you have anything on the computer that is needed? If not then you can just put your XP disk in from startup then wipe your comp.

well i have itunes and a bunch of software i paid alot of money for!
Look and see if there is much dust collected in your fan. If there is, the computer may be overheating because of that and giving an error. Did you do any recent changes in hardware, or update any drivers. Also, is the error on a blue screen?

Ok ill look at the fan, i didnt do any changes that i know of, i have windows updates atomatically if that helps, i was on youtube and it just shut down, then i kept turning it on and it would say "Windows was unable to start succsessfully" then it shuts off, is says that on a black screen.
