My PC just shuts off after log on?

What would make a PC shut down after log on and how would I go about fixing it. I'm posting here because I believe it is a virus.

The System:

Windows 2000

Dell


Symptoms:

Shuts down after log on. Safe Mode is ok though.

Add/Remove programs is in-accessable.

Thankz,
Ced

 

Post a HjT-log so we can try to solve that problem.

Take the log in safe mode if it´s your only way to get it.

 

its obvious that something in your start up is making it shutdown as its not doing it in safe mode..

try going into safe mode, start>run>msconfig>click the start up tab, check whats going on in your start up.

for now disable every single one, then well go through and see whats causing it.

oh, i didnt see your running 2000, i dont think it applies to 2000, sorry

 

Thankz for the help!

In msconfig choose a selective start up and see what happends Ced.
