So... does anyone know why a computer would just completely die, like the power button not do anything when you press it?

Cause my computer did that. I unplugged it to see if the plug was broken and it's not, but when I plugged it back in it started working again...

It went off like the power went off just alive one second dead the next, is that how that's supposed to happen?
Pretty much. That breaker in the PSU is like the giant "OH SHIT!" button. The little elves inside saw an imminent meltdown and hit the kill switch. Problem is, because their first course of action is to hit the kill switch, it doesn't give you much info as to why. Pretty sure you can find out why via http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/160855-shut-down-view-details-last-shutdown-computer.html

EDIT But, maybe not, as the shutdown process was skipped due to an "all stop."

I dislike college sports but I did watch it with people who were very into it. And they had those, which are good.
Were they as obnoxious as the people I was watching it with? :|

I'm in event viewer, last thing before shut down was a note about a malware bytes update and then warnings about not shutting down properly.

I'll just ignore it for now and start saving for a new computer. Ignoring things usually works out pretty well for me.

You can wait to start worrying until it happens again, but then start worrying.

If it's a heat issue, you can open the case and then turn it on and make sure all the fans are working. Or just point a table fan at it.

That sounds like a good plan.

If this is even remotely true, you should go thank the people around you right now. And then stop doing that to them.
Nah, just ignore them too. Until they stop doing all the things. :p

That would involve not ignoring things and I don't know if I'm about that life.
