Launchbox Notes View Shuts Down Computer - Easily Reproducible

[bikeking8]

I can play hours on end of demanding games with my pc but Launchbox has recently been the apparent cause of consistent, reproducible automatic shutdowns. Whenever I Add a game, go through the title search and start editing the notes it shuts the computer down without fail. I've saved three event log files after this has happened. I've updated my graphics card driver, reseated hardware, and am about to perform a clean install of LB 5.3, will update with the results of that later. I've always been in List view, too, will also attempt to reproduce in other views.

After uninstalling/reinstalling the program and also attempting to add while in Gamebox view, the computer still shut down by itself, again only while I was in the edit game screen after pressing "Add" down on the bottom.

Hi @bikeking8, I can assure you that's everything but normal, but I know that doesn't help here. It doesn't really make a lot of sense. I would try uninstalling/re-installing the .NET framework 4.5 to see if that helps. What version of Windows are you running?

[bikeking8]

Thank you for the prompt reply! I'll try the .Net reinstall, good idea. I'm running Win 7 x64 on an Intel board. If needed I still have the event logs. If there's any other info I can provide or logging applications that would help let me know, please.

Thanks @bikeking8. Yes, the event logs might be helpful. It's worth a shot, at least. :)

The dot net 4.5 install said everything was up to date. However, I was unable to reproduce the problem this morning and I have two possible reasons. I *think* I opened LB as Administrator, and I did NOT have PCSX2 open in the background this time. My mobo is a G7 Sniper, and tweaking the dummy power load setting in BIOS didn't change anything. I'll keep attempting to reproduce it though in case I can assist with some bug reporting.
