I Did That. Also Tried Clean Boot, Minimal Services. Nothing Is Started Through The Registry Run.
sounds like and oooold virus --

try running following command when connected to internet
shtudown -a

Are Windows fully updated?
How are you connected to internet?

try www.superantispyware.com 
and install Windows Security Essentials
Did you use the newest version of malwarebytes? Did you run it in standard mode (without connecting the LAN)? Malwarebytes must run in standard mode, not in safe mode, if it should be of any use.
Might be a bsod. Try installing updated drivers for you Ethernet and wireless device.

I can't run shut down -a because once I connect to the internet my computer shuts down. when I Connect wirelessly or wired the computer shuts down. I Ran Malware In Standard Mode
I Will Try Loading Xp Sp3.
Try installing updated drivers for you Ethernet and wireless device.You can download it from another computer and install it on affected system.

do youi not have time to do shutdown -a ?
Try superantispyware and install Microsoft Security Essentials

what SP level are you at now? XP pre SP2 is a sitting duck when it comes to malware

one again - how do you connect to internet ?
1)  press F8 and disable Automatic restart on system failure this will not shutdown your PC perhaps it will provide you BSOD with error code.

2)As well as locate at the below location and
open>>RUN>>EventVWR>>System events>> filter with error source as Save dump.
This will provide you the location at which dump file is generated.

Request you to upload that dump file.
