Earlier it used to shutdown properly.

For the boot sector virus I hope that a virus scanner took care of that but to make sure I would boot with a windows 98 boot disk and at the A:\ type fdisk c:\ /mbr
 
This will rewrite the bootsector and hopefully clean it fully.
 
As for the monitor going off problem, does this happen while you are at the computer working?

Try up[censored] your bios see if that helps - other wise buy Win NT or 2000, then you'll be able to make full use of this site (NT Compatible anyone?)

Your in the wrong site, bud. But here's my guess:
 
I'll bet you have an FIC 503+ m/b with an AT power supply right? If you do there is no fix, period. The board's power management thinks that it can shut down, but it really can't because of the AT power supply so it simply reboots. It's not likely that FIC will ever fix this problem as their whole implimentation of the Via MPV3 is horribly flawed in all their boards. Everything, including AGP voltage problems, non-compliant UDMA IDE, messed up ACPI, and power management problems, is wrong with that board. Sorry.
