      Weird 'problem' with my pc lately

      recently something odd keeps happening with my pc, as I go to shut the computer off i click shut down, then it goes through the shutdown process and as I hear the clicking off sound I usually do when my pc shuts off then the pc does a restart or something and boots up again....

      Then upon bootup I get this weird error message saying the system was forced to shutdown or something, then I exit the error msg and go about my business playing videogames or w/e...and everything seems to be running okay...just occasionally this happens and after the error msg i can shut the pc off normally and it shuts off...its odd
      I would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees.

      Maybe it's failing to terminate a program or getting stuck in a loop doing that. Try closing everything you have running in the background before shutting down?
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      I would call that either a virus, user error, or faulty components. It happened to me once, when I shut the computer down and folded it up (it's a laptop), which put it to sleep and interfered in the shutdown procedure. I had the blinking LED that told me it was asleep instead of shut down, so I opened it back up, and it said it was shutting down, which it finally did. Booted it up the next morning, and I had the freaky blue error message.

      I think it may be a program failing to end or something, but whatever it is, it seems to be connected to a game I recently installed, duke nukem 3d with the whole opengl high-def pack...the game is a little buggy and freezes and crashes sometimes and usually the pc restarts itself in the shutdown after that...but if all goes well, then it shuts off okay...

      Guess I gotta stay away from crashy software

      You can just open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and shutdown the process manually when the game crashes.

      Does it simply overwhelm.
