Yeah... get a spell checker and learn how to capitalize

If the shutdown was "normal", not a hardware reset, then perhaps one of the
installations caused it. Does the machine still work? Did it boot up
normally? Did you get the stuff installed? Perhaps one of the installers
automatically rebooted and perhaps even warned you that it would. I've seen
that in a few things.
