Okay might be a virus if it is I recommend Avast Anti virus and they also have a home edition on there website which is free. And just because it is free does not mean it sucks I as of right now am using it on 5 different computers. Also Ad-aware is another good program for other dirty little programs.

So is it a laptop or desktop?

Desktop.

It usually goes into power save mode a few minutes after it gets turned on, It gives you enough time to get into somthing, like a game, and then after a minute, it just clicks off.

I would check in the control panel to see if something in there can be turned off or on for that.
