For the past 6 months or so, my computer has been abruptly shutting off when i try to install programs off
of a CD.
Games especially. But it does the same for things such as:
Photoshop
Microsoft office Afterwards, i have to remove the power supply cord for atleast 10 seconds before my
computer will succesfully boot again. Re-installing the operating system
does nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

your computer may have a BOOT SECTOR VIRUS

simply do a SYSTEMS RESTORE to a very early date and it will work fine. YOU WILL NOT LOOSE ANY DOCUMENT BUT ALL YOUR APPS INSTALLED AFTER THAT DAY WILL BE UNINSTALLED.

if that does not work, simply format

i formated it n it doesn't work

you may not have formatted well.... you may also need to change the HARD DISK o. because formatting removes everything.

hard disk?!!!

Is the p.c in question a desktop or laptop?

In any case,its likely that heat is not being effectively dissipated in the unit. Your system overheats when you carry out cpu intensive tasks,and shuts down to prevent c p u damage,as heat generated isnt dispelled properly.

Take it to a technician and have its fan,and in the case a desktop,the heat sink looked at. Get them to apply heat paste afresh too.
