Okay, so this happened earlier today, roughly 3 hours ago. I was botting in MapleStory as usual, and was laying down watching T.V. out of nowhere, my computer shuts down. I didn't know what happened, but as anyone would, I turned it back on. What happens next is that it just turns off, and about 2 seconds later it turns back on, and continues to do that so I just turned off the PSU. I let it sit for about an hour or two, tried it again and the same thing is still going on. It turns on, turns off, turns back on and repeats.

virus or bad hardware/software

Could you be more specific?

I'm pretty sure it's not a virus, NOD32 was scanning when I got home from school. Although, I think it could be something with my HDD.. I'm not entirely sure, but at one point I got as far as to the blue screen where it says "System is checking disc consistency for drive F:\" or something like that.. Hmm.

if its your f drive then , correct me if I'm wrong, but that for your disk. Take it out. You may have put in a bad disk. Something similar happened with my SD HC card

There's a thread, probably somewhere on the first page still, about somebody's case I/O button and/or connection to the motherboard that was faulty in some way. Could that be it? And da_dog, drive naming can be very computer-specific.

How far does it normally get before shutting down? Take out everything that's not needed and try booting up. try booting from a cd.

Eh, I left it overnight, and when I turned it on this morning it got to as far as logging in, NOD32 was loading everything was loading, and then about 30 seconds after that it shutdown and starting turning on again. Sometimes it goes to the windows logo sometimes it gets to the login sometimes it just goes to the other menus. It's random really.

Okay, I took out the ram stick, turned on my computer and it was turning on, it just kept making long periods of beeps. I think that's normal.

Oh, must have missed who it was. D:
Can you boot from a CD into say, a live Linux distro like Ubuntu without anything happening?

Well what I think is that either you have a virus stuck deep in your
hardwear or it overheated badly and it is dmged. I would take it to a
specialist. Also before you do anything... try reinstalling windows with the
CD.

I had a similar problem and all I did was to return my BIOS settings to default :S
