ARGH WTF

There is something seriously b0rked going on with my computer. Do I have any technical-puter-peeps on my flist who might be able to tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON?

My computer keeps turning itself off. Like, caput, gone. It happened first when I realised I hadn't run my spyware program for a while, and thought maybe I should. The computer died halfway through the scan, and continued to do it through numerous scans. I suppose I thought maybe there WAS something dodgy on here, and that it was what was making the scan fail and the computer die, but I have no idea what to do about it if my computer has no other symptoms and I can't find out exactly what it is I have on here.

But now it's just getting weirder. I've been burning a few DVDs these last few days, with various levels of success (I've never had any problems with burning ever before, so that is odd in itself). Trying tonight, the computer just keeps dying halfway through the encoding process, and, just now, for no fucking apparent reason at all.

Now, I'm running a McAfe Virus Scan because I finally figured out how to do that (I'm such a McAfe n00b, I've never used it before they made me at UEA and I've never looked to closely at it because it seems quite alien to me, and I had no problems while I was there).

I don't know if this is likely to be a virus or a trojan or some other strange computer problem, but I'd appreciate any advice on the matter.
