Curious Event

I turned the computer on this morning, and knew it was on cause my desktop screen was up. About 40 mins later, my daughter's friend was on the other computer and asked my daughter how come she couldn't connect to the Internet. My daughter said because this computer wasn't on. They're networked. I said yes it is and came in to look.

I came in to discover a black screen. The tower was on...I tried to do control-alt-delete, which did nothing. I tried pushing the power button on the tower but it wouldn't turn off. Had to turn off the power strip. That shut everything down.

The other weird thing is, when I turned the strip back on, and pushed the button on the tower, it started up normally, no blue screen. I certainly didn't power down the right way and I should have gotten that blue screen.

Have you ever heard of this before?
