its probably something playing up in the registry, get registry mechanic 4 and get a username for full version from www.cracks.am, it happened to my other PC last week.

common problem this, sometimes you'll just be given the shutdown screen and nothing else. If this happens just hold the power button in for 3 seconds, this will turn it off.
