Unexpected Shutdowns - Am I safe?

[Ardemax]

Basiclly, whenever I use Habbo now, I get this blue message thing, it counts to 60 in 5's or something, and then restarts my computer.
I'm wondering if there is some sort of keylogger/virus on my computer.
This is urgent information whether I am safe or not.
+Rep to all helpful answers. :)

Could you get a screenshot of the blue message thing?

Does your whole screen go blue?

It could be a malfunction of shockwave in some way, if it's triggered by opening habbo, I don't think it's a virus. If it was triggered by opening some anti-virus program then I would be suspicious.

Erm im on vista and it takes up the whole screen with a blue background and white writing, and you cant screenshot it, ill try and take a piccy if you really want tho

What does it read?

Takea piccy, even just ****** quality can determine weather its a Trjan, BSOD or a Shockwave problem.
dont log onto habbo until we've fixed it;)

Sounds like driver corruption to me, reinstall your graphics drivers and try again

[Ardemax]

Thanks, i'll try it.

and yeah, graphical it sounds like, but depends on if u have a onboard or PCI-E / AGP so on GPU :)

It could be a internal error, try other shockwave applets.
If it isnt that, scan your computer and if nothing is found...
It could be your computer itself.

I think it might be, it hasn't popped up again yet.

a BSOD (Blue screen of death / doom) is a complete computer lockup, you cannot recover from one without rebootin the pc manually. some pc's randomly restart when one pops up, due to 'system safety' options unless your a windows diagnostics or crash analyzer you dont need to see the bsod, when one pop's up, write down the bototm the 0x00000000ef664400000 (or whatever!)
