That's alright, such a nasty virus is rather rare thankfully.

Event log : go to control panel and adminstrative tools.
You'll find Event Logs in there, you'll find a few sections like "applications, system, security" if my memory serves me correctly. Under system you'll find everything that records a log on startup or shutdown or during a failure. Lines with a warning or error have a yellow exclamation mark or red cross, respectively.
Scroll down to the last known time of one of those erronous shutdowns and see what it says - it may (or may not, of course) provide you a clue as to what's going on.
If you're not sure what it means, find a copy/paste thing, copy some in here or feel free to email me/upload a log of the entire eventlog.
