Answer» I really don't know if this is a hardware or software related PROBLEM. Immediately before this problem, Windows 7 used to have a restart loop on startup. Windows now works because I had to uninstall Windows 7 and reinstall. Then I started having the problem mentioned above. It is an Alienware Aurora R3, (NvidiaGeforce GTS 450 graphics card). I checked the cooling fans and there is no dust. There is no visible problem inside the CPU but all I did was remove the cover from the case. I didn't actually take components apart. A year ago a professional cleaned it up so I'm assuming it can't really be dirty. Problem Signature:

1) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?
2) Please go to the Nvidia website and download and install the current driver for your video card (uninstall the old driver first).
3) Download and install the latest release of Direct-X
4) Check for a bios update
5) After doing all of the above, please look in device manager and see if there are any yellow or RED symbols.- BIOS, Direct-X etc. are all up to date.
- No yellow or red symbols in Device Manager.
- The problem started about a week after downloading a new game. This game seemed to have more than the usual problems immediately after downloading. It will often kick me off the server while playing. I don't know if the game is the root of the problem. The computer hasn't shut down unexpectedly for 3 days now. Maybe the problem has been resolved but I'll wait and see.

Many games are only vehicles for installing spyware & malware. It's usually best to stay away from all of them. http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/antivirusantispyware/a/malware101.htm(It's a computer designed specifically for gaming)
Shutdown occurred 3/31/14 so it's still happening. Why is it that windows provides this "problem signature" that nobody understands? This doesn't SEEM to provide any clues as to what the problem is.

If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement OFFLINE: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txt I think it could be the graphics card which is a bit outdated (Nvidia Geforce GTS 450). When I try to install the latest update, it had issues. The images on the display appeared stretched horizontally after installation. No adjustment to screen resolution would resolve this. The latest driver for it was problematic for a few people according to the Nvidia drivers forum. They ended up uninstalling the latest driver (GeForce 335.23) and reinstalling an older driver. I will buy a whole new graphics card since I am DUE for one anyway. I am hoping the sudden shutdowns will stop after getting a new graphics card.Revert back to the original drivers before spending money...newer drivers are not always "better" drivers... I am trying to uninstall the graphics card driver but it will not uninstall. It says "NVidia uninstaller failed".Did you remove the app from Add/Remove 1st ? ? I believe they have an un-installer at their site...I attempted to reinstall the OS and failed because I have no drivers to connect to the internet. When I reinstalled the first time I had a professioanl do it for $90.00. I started another topic in the drivers section. Because this problem started with a bad graphics card driver and it is a weak card anyway, I will save up for a better one. When you get in a pinch like that you can always use a working PC to grab your drivers off the web and transfer them to your PC via USB drive...
I'm still convinced it's an incorrect/corrupt vid card driver myself...
