At times I will see a window popup saying that my system will shutdown by NT Authority/System (I think it said that) why is it doing that and what can I do to prevent it?
System shutdown, against my will

How up to date is your version of windows? A security flaw was just discovered that can allow people to reboot your machine remotely, without your permission. Also, if you prematurely end certain processes, your PC will be forced to restart.
My recommendation: Run a windows update and a virus scan...

Go to Windows updates and get the security patch for it.
And then there is Death
You should also run a firewall that will block such malicious packets being sent to ports the system is listening to over the internet.
I did all of that but know when I do ALT+CTRL+DEL and the prosesses menu comes up it immediatly disapears. Why ios it doing this?
Here is what came up while I was working.

That's the exact patch you need to fix the random reboot/shutdown problem.
As for Task Manager dying, that's due to a trojan/virus killing certain applications on open, and not a Windows bug - perhaps getting an alternate process viewer such as from here to kill the necessary dodgy program (basically something that's running that you don't recognise), then try the normal task manager again. And yes, update your antivirus definition files too
Im in the prosess of getting these files but I updated AVG virus scanner like 20 times and it still hasnt detected a thing, edczxcvbnm told me that the virus was most likely so well coded that I might have to format my HD *sigh* again to get rid of it. What else can I do?

Hmm, this just started happening to me
You can temporarily stop it simply by implementing the XP firewall but yeah, I'm also downloading the patches.
I am friends with some government peeps who have the resources to find out who's doing it to me...then it's time to "send the boys around".
And I'm not kidding either.
