My Computer doesn't like Michael Jackson. I've downloaded his song, 'Bad', and both times that I've launched it, my Computer turned itself off. :lol: I've deleted the song, because I know my Computer will turn itself off, if I try to launch it, again.

Double clicking on a sound file to start up a audio program to listen to a song sould not being crashing your computer.
Some malformed sound files can be used to crash and infect a computer with a virus. Do an anti-virus scan right away The odds are good that it is nothing to worry about but still do that scan. The other causes could be outdated audio program, not having the needed sound codec or plain bad encoding of the sound file.

I've ran a Virus Check and deleted the song. Luckily, I didn't have any Viruses.
