If the motherboard's main controller chip is dying, it can cause that exact type of behavior.

>Hate to say it Jim, but your other machine sounds like it caught a virus that was running rampant about 10 years ago. I can't think of many hardware problems that would cause that. If you can, try to boot off of a CD or DVD like your Windows install disk. If it boots and remains stable, that hard drive is probably hosed. Your shop may be able to recover without losing your files, but I won't bet on it.

The other computer has some weird issue; it turns off and restarts whenever it wants to, and once you actually turn it off by selecting "Shut down", it restarts itself. But now it shuts off and reboots before I can even access anything on the desktop. Will be calling the company tomorrow for advice (it's under warranty). Hopefully I can get it fixed quickly and easily.
