Though this problem seems to have solved itself, may I at least make a suggestion to you on the possibility of virii?

McAfee is CRAP for detecting virii. Invest in Norton AV. Then also d/l things like Spybot S&D and other Spyware/Adaware destroyers.

Run these programs on a regular basis.

Also defrag & scandisc regularly.

Because reading through this thread, I still feel it could have also been caused by a virus (up until the end where you say it's now corrected itself).

But shutdowns and reboots like you were having are common with virii.
