Computer on log off, not turned off, Sorry, another question :[ Options

[superstitious]

So, the button on my computer is starting to go, I think. As such, I decided to not turn off my computer and just log off instead. I asked some techie type at work and he said that should be fine. Weird thing is that my computer was off this morning, not just logged off. I do the log off thing with my laptop and it works fine.

This ever happen to anyone? (Where you don't turn off your computer yet it shuts off on its own?)

I apologize once more for dumbass questions.

Eh, in case you need specs:
Windows XP
Media Center Edition, Version 2, Service Pack 2
AMD Athlon ™ 63 Processor
3400+
2.39 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram
Yes I know my computer sucks.

It's definitely not malware related. My computer has had several enemas. XD

The button itself has to be pushed with a little more force than before and it sort of makes a clicking noise (moreso than before as well).

edit - and yes, I typically look at the processes if anything seems sluggish.

Loose wire. It's something physical, not in your Windows. But if you still believe it could also be windows related... then do the look up of each process right before shut down.
