You need to run an anti-virus program in safe mode. Sounds like the sasser worm.

I do not think it is a virus. It could be the power supply or there is a lot of dust on the cooling fans. Open the tower and see how much dust is inside.

If you keep pressing F5 on startup you will go to a screen prompting you to which startup option. Go to windows safe mode. Next step requires you going to mcafee.com go to virus information and click on virus removal tools. Click on one of the virus options and download mcafee stinger run this on your computer from safe mode. It always works for me.

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
Linux is a complete operating system that is either free or very cheap ($10-$30) and comes bundled with a huge variety of free software.
The Linux desktop is amazingly flexible and customizable, and anyone who is used to Windows will soon feel comfortable with it - and shocked by how dull their old Windows system looks by comparison! For example, in Linux you can use up to twenty (yes twenty) separate desktop work spaces - Windows only gives you one.
Go to www.distrowatch.com to find out how to get all the popular flavors of Linux...
...then do an image search for Linux screen grabs on Google.
BE COOL - GET LINUX
DC :)

you need to start up your computer in safe mode with internet support, then run Trend micro housecall, or any other of a number of network system scans for virus/trojans etc.
