Mayhap the computer desk is tilted and all the bits are sliding off to one side

[Airscrew]

When I have these problems I usually run my system through the dishwasher, on pot scruber cycle, with hot water.  that will remove the virus's and a defraged bits laying around

You put your computer in a dishwasher?

[Hangtime]

Laptop goes in the dishwasher. Desktop goes in the self-cleaning oven.

They just fit better that way.

I'm betting it is the blaster, I've seen an infected machine not report the infection. Download the free cleaner-tool and you'll know.

Have you checked the temp of the CPU to see if its overheating.
Some motherboards such as tthe one I have will automatically shut down the machine once the temp reached the threshold level.

Same thing was happening to me a while back and we were blaming the dog for buming into the switch.
Then by chance I happened to run one of my routine checks of the machine and low and behold the temp was nearing max on the level I had set for it.
Opened the sucker up and. Well we have 3 cats and two dogs. Needless to say that adds up to alot of hair and dander flying around.

The fans...all of them were literally caked over with dog/Cat hair.
the inside looked like a dust bowl.
Cleaned her out and been running great again ever since

thats probably whats going on with mine, caked up with cat hair, I think the dachshunds fur is too heavy and dense for this sort of thing, Either that Oblivion is too much of a strain for my pc.
