Forced shutdown
Windows shuts down showing "Generic Host" applet popping up and shuts within 60 seconds unresponsive to any request. This has occurred 3-5 times in last 2 years and I have to reinstall windows/format disk. Tried restoring yet works for a bit of time yet never helps.

Inappropriate?I suggest that you first run your antivirus application or antimalware (such as the free tool available at http://www.microsoft.com/security/mal...) in safe mode to see if there are any related issues.
