Unexpected Shutdown
ok, so last night the weirdest thing happened. i was sitting in bed, (my bed is next to my comp) the only light in the room was coming from my computers red background. all of a sudden the emitting light turned blue. i sat up and looked at the computer screen, i only got a split second to look at what had happened. it looked very similar to the blue screen of death, solid blue background with white lettering. i didnt get a chance to see what it said because it went black for a second and then the computer restarted.
i have:
windows vista
up-time was probably about 50 hours (this cant be the reason, its been up for 300+ hours before)
it wasnt a virus, i have a really good antivirus. (norton 360)
so im pretty confused, anyone know what happened?

The blue screen possibly means some failing system hardware. You might want to check your hard drive. Any new hardware could be installed incorrectly, too. My friend had this a few weeks ago after installing new hardware, a simple reboot had him up and running again.
But it's just a possibility.

Lol'd at bold bit
But yea, sounds just like the BSOD to me, most likely event was that a hdd, diskdrive, usb pen drive, mouse, keyboard etc. had a hardware failure. Did you install the drivers for anything new recently?
It shouldnt be affected too far, just keep using it as normal, and see what happens, post here if it BSOD's again
It was good, but since so many people think that, virus-makers make viruses specifically for Norton.
