I've been getting this recently when i play COD: WAW. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea what to do. I've done a system restore, reinstalled drivers and set BIOS on default but still happens sometimes. It closes Windows within a minute and the only way to stop it is to type "shutdown -a" in the Run.

What is it and what do i do? I'm not reinstalling Windows again, sod that.

From what I've read, it could be malware related. Run "Malware Bytes" on a full system scan.
