I want to discredit sto from killing his computer as well but I just got done downloading the patches about 30 minutes ago and my computer just shut off on me as well. It wouldn't come back on either for about 10 minutes. I can't figure out why. I finally got it back on. It's running at 30.3 degrees Celsius according to my thermometer, so it's not overheating. And I built it myself, with quality parts. I can't figure out what might be causing it.
Just a guess but maybe you had a power cut :p
Also did you update graphics drivers as advised this could be the problem?
Not yet, last update wasn't too long ago. I would if it would let me though, lol. I'm not sure, it does almost seem like maybe my power supply just went out though. But I just don't know. Just saw this thread right before it happened and thought it coincidence so I posted just in case it started happening to a bunch of people.

got under a hour to figure it out.
Did the PC just do a full shutdown? Like everything went dead the same instant, or did the fans/etc linger for a second or so? Did the monitor click, shut off, then followed by the system going down? Do you have anything OC'ed?
