From the fact you said you're not using a graphics card, im assuming you're using onboard graphics, yes? If so, can youi tell us which motherboard or make/model of computer and we'll direct you to the drivers.

Well first, http://drivers.soft32.com/driver/dow...ics-23777.html is the drivers. Secondly, im not sure, i wouldnt of thought so, but it eliminates it.

Hmmm, when you said it turned red, do you mean the screen went red, or red tint? And when you turn the computer on, does it go red then shutdown, or just shutdown? And at what point does it shutdown?

well it shows the welcome screen and the desktop for a minute(the reason why it turns red i guess bacuase of the wallpaper, but the wallpaper has designs and such and saids compaq on it, but when it begins to shutdown by itslef, it turns blank, then black screen then shutsdown) then shuts down

Try changing the wallpaper if it gives you enough time. Change it to a plain colour.
