VLC shuts down computer after playing video

Postby jgairns » 20 Aug 2010 05:12

Hi

I'm not sure what is happening, but every video I play ends with my computer shutting down when it is over.
If I hurry over I can interrupt the shutdown sequence, but when it shuts down, I have to remove my power cable for 5 minutes, plug it in, and then it starts back up as if it were in hibernation.

Yes, this is a very strange thing. I just installed VLC, as per usual, and it started this strange behaviour.

Any ideas?

Other than that, it is a fabulous video player.
