While turn on pc, pc load up to Windows xp desktop screen, suddenly shuts off by myself, then re-start bootup into ScanDisk. After finished ScanDisk, loadup into Windows desktop again. Suddenly shuts off again, rebootup and do ScanDisk again. After run twice ScanDisk, PC load into desktop, everything is fine.
No anything wrong doing on shut off PC way. Now everytime turn on the pc, pc run ScanDisk twice.
