Post a HJT log, i dont realy get you put i think your saying when you turn the comp on you get a dodget message and it shuts down??

http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html (usefull for finding problems)

Heres how to use it, btw thanks to axxxel for posting this info.

-> download -> Unzip to C:\HJT-> Press Ok and Close window

Make sure that you actually extract HijackThis to its own folder: C:\HJT.
DO NOT run it from within a zip manager (Winzip), or Desktop as no backups will be saved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Scan your computer

Now Open Hijackthis -> Click "Do a system scan and save log file"
Hjt will scan your computer for about 15 sec. -> Log file will pop up.

Most items are perfectly fine. You should not remove them.
Never remove everything by yourself.
This forum will now help you work with the Experts to clean up your system.

-> Copy and paste the contents of the HijackThis log into your post.
Make new thread for your own log
Post full log, begins with: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1... etc

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5:

Wait for help.
Remember:
Never remove, checkmark and fix by yourself.
Use Hijackthis at your own risk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

post a HJT log if you can also try doing this,

Turn on the comp but tap f8 as it boots
selest safe mode from the menu
choose the administrator
click start>run>msconfig

tell me what you have in the startup ;)

do thoose for now
