    Yesterday, I was using my laptop with Vista Ultimate and I was asked for restarting my laptop because it will apply the updates.

    It was 3-5 times the reminder dialog showed up and finally I restart it, right after I click Restart, it going to Vista shutdown screen and after that the screen was dark for a few seconds( about 5 seconds )

    Then it boot up again normally.

    Why can it happen? Is it normal?

    Thank you very much.

    Yes, because it is restarting.

    If nothing else shows up after 1minute, then thats when you should worry
