Probably some kind of anti-cheat is running in the background.

If you're sure you have no online games running, check your computer for viruses and trojans.
Cheat Engine can be used to detect trojans not found by any anti virus out yet, so it's possible it's a protection of the virus. (You may have to reinstall windows and perhaps even buy a new mainboard if it has infected firmware)

If you did have an online game running, I recommend making a topic in the game's support site/forum , or other sites related about that game with the topic "Cheat Engine". With luck people visiting a topic with the title "Cheat Engine" will also get rebooted, and possibly causing a severe backlash at the developer of that game

If game developers are writing code like this, it's equivalent to malware or a virus and should be treated as such.

I checked all background tasks, and found nothing like anticheat process, also I did system scans using 360 total security + malbytes' anti malwares, both didn't find any viruses/spywares nor did their realtime protections give any warning whatsoever

there aren't any online games clients installed on my system, but there sare some games with online features such as starcraft2, divinity original sin, and several others

But I never play online, nor do I cheat on online gaming, I only use cheat for a single player campagin in every games I owned

Anyway I can't post the hijack log here, everytime I tried post the txt using code tags, a message appear "Sorry, but you can't post url's yet", and when I included the log file in the attachment, another error msg appears "The Extension log is not allowed"

So I paste the log in jpeg format, and attached it

Btw I never heard of a virus that could damage mobo's firmware, the only virus which I heard can damage hardware was CIH virus, but that is a long long time ago

Post the url with spaces instead if dots.

I would bet my ass you got some virus. Probably a rootkit.

I don't see anything suspicious but you have a lot of useless process/services eating your resources.

Try to open any window with the text "cheat engine" on it (for example a notepad TXT with that name) and check if the window closes. Someting like ProcessMonitor can find your problem but maybe you will save time if you format (or try another windows user account) instead analyzing all the WinEvents...

Try msconfig or safe mode. If it will shut down even in safe mode, it's some serious shit. If it's working in diagnostic startup, you can figure out which trash is closing it by testing them one by one.

tried making a txt file,with cheat engine as filename and contains many "cheat engine" phrase in it, nothing happens

Ah, and there we got it Razz

Aren't you able to use some VPNs?

Edit:
I modified the original file a bit, so you can use it and bypass your internet restriction. With this one you are able to visit the cheatengine sites Smile

Delete shutdown.exe from your system

Perhaps besides tunneling your connection he also filters usernames and passwords from your connection to his own system and doesn't want you to find out with ce
