My question is that I have P-III PC. Some days ago my computer suddenly will shut down automatically when I worked. After this when I reboot computer then my computer not load the operating system (WinXP) . I install fresh copy of winXp again. Then my problem will solve but after some day again this happen repeat.
Actually on my all hard drive in right click menu at the top the following item display “AUTO PLAY” . Actually Auto play display only on CD-ROM right click menu but in my all hard drive right click menu show the AUTOPLAY what is this?.
One thing is that when I double click on any hard drive the drive items will show in separate Explorer window and after while that my computer restart automatically and then my operating System (winxP) will corrupt but with right click open this happen not done. I am really worried about this coz I was run anti virus McAfee 10.0 with upgrade and latest Norton anti virus program but no effect. Plz tell me what I do. Any one tell me the solution of this problem.

It sounds to me like:
1) A hardware problem:
It could be your motherboard is overheating. Computer often shut down if they get too hot. Maybe your fan isn't working anymore. Open the case and look at it with the power turned on.
Often times, an older system can get cracks in the motherboard just from contracing and expanding for a long time. If so, you either have to get a new motherboard or a new machine.
2) A corruption of the OS: In which case, you may have to reinstall XP. Before you do, try SFC /SCANNOW. This may fix the corrupted file.
Those are the most common things that I can think of.

Well System options not set means the values in the bios are reset or lost, particularly for the system clock... The values r stored in a ram powered by the a single Lithium Ion battery on the motherboard. (it is usually a silver coloured round cell)... As it also says onboard power failure , may be the battery is going bad.. Replace the battery , u can see it easily on the motherboard, and it wont cost much.. Note.. if the problem persists it could also be the battery is getting discharged, due to a short...

could be several things
if you have both mcafee and norton installed than that will cause conflict
you woill need to remove one of them
could also be a file gone bad or something use the file checker feature given in other answer

If you still have 2 anti-virus programs installed, that may be the problem. They will fight each other. Un-install one of them to see if it solves your problem.
