wear out windows update
Correct there is 97% chance it is one of these viruses the other 3% could be something like a power supply. Go to windowsupdate and wear it out. I quess you are running 2K or XP? There are like 45 gazillion variants that evolved from the original blaster worm. The MS04-011 patch should cover most of them.

Use the automatic update client once you are fully patched. Check your event viewer for lsass errors (virus exploit).

Do everything listed above, but add this in:
Goto http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/ and run the PandaSoftware ActiveScan. It's online and does a really good job of sniffing nasties. Make sure you set it to fix them as well.
Give us the results so we can assist further if needed.

Biggest problem you might have is downloading the patch before the computer shuts down again...
Fixed a guy's laptop at work, ran Norton A-V and found 116 of the Sasser virus on his computer!!!
Now I need to find the article that I had to explain how to fix it step-by-step because he wants me to fix his son's desktop now!!!

Yeah downloading the patch on dial-up sucks. The last time it showed up, I had to DL it from a computer at work and bring it home on a disk. I don't claim to be an expert on this stuff by any means, but when you live in the middle of nowhere you either learn how to fix your own stuff, or go without it. I currently know just enough about it to get myself in trouble thinkin I can fix it. 
I did manage to get rid of the Peper trojan by myself with just a bit of research, after putting up with it for months. I wish you the best of luck with your problem.
