    "windows was not properly shutdown"


    i have been having problems where my computer crashes semi randomly it consistently happens when playing spiderman 2, so it might be when its under load? But when i check reliability monitor all it says is "windows was not properly shut down" when pressing view technical details it gives me no important information. I've already tried to check for any corrupted files in safe boot and i am unsure where to go from here.

    :)
