    Im running windows 7 on the M15x and when I go to the shutdown icon and click on it sometimes the computer would shutdown then restart by itself. Im not sure why this happens because I never prompted the computer to restart. It restarts even when I click the shutdown icon. So far this has happened about 5 times and ive had the computer for about 3 weeks.

    Random? That's not random. Faulty, perhaps. You're basically saying the problem is that your "Shutdown" button sometimes acts as a "Restart" button correct (even if it isn't pushed)?
