My computer keeps on shutting down at random times
Like I'll be listening to music and playing a game when all of a sudden my computer just goes off.
When I turn it back on after that my startup ASUS voice thingy says "System failed CPU test" or something over and over.
So I turn it on again and it works.. For a while atleast..

This has been happening for about 3 days now and I'm tired of it.. It happens about 1 time every 30 minutes. Sometimes I can be on it for a long time without any problems and other times I can't even get to the windows login screen before it shuts down over and over.

I thought it might be a virus, but when I got McAfee and scanned it didn't find anything. I even updated McAfee with live update, but it still found nothing. So I'm completely confuzzled.. Please help if you know what I can do.

I run windows xp if that helps.
