hi all,

I am a newbie for ArchLinux.

My computer often shuts down suddenly when I browse web site. It brings me to TTY and said "The system is going down for system halt NOW!". I found that is because of the crash of flash plugin of firefox.

And my question is why the crash of firefox can cause my computer shuts down?

PS. my system environment: Arch + awesome, no DE. Thanks!

It's interesting that your system is "crashing" so gracefully. Are you overheating? Try creating a new firefox profile and see if it's affected. Try creating a new user with a new profile and see if it's affected.
