I was running SoaSE Diplomacy/Entrenchment yesterday evening, and my computer crashed, badly. It was a 50 planet, one star, 5 player game, so not too big a strain. The screen went black, and all lights went off. I let it cool down (it's a laptop, and was a little warm), and unplugged it. After ten or fiffteen minutes, I plugged it back in, hit the power button, and got no response at all, other than it acknowledging it had power. I tried unplugging it and hitting the power with no response. I then took the battery out, unplugged it, and left it alone overnight and most of the rest of the day. It has finally booted, and there are no apparent adverse affects. My question is: what happened? Is this a normal Sins problem, a normal Vistas problem, a normal combination of the two, or something I did that no one's come across before?

Anyway, I'd appreciate input here. I saw mytrix's post on a similar topic, but I'm not sure it's the same problem.
