SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

Any removal tools or special details it gives out I can use to make sure it is the Blaster?

i also had this problem.... well tell him to give his pc proper cooling...
my pc shuts down when i put more load on my pc (while playing game) and if i didnt allowed proper cooling then it automatically shuts down.. but when i give it proper axhaust then it keeps on working to hours and hours.....
may be ur frnd also facing this problem because of not proper cooling ( as i was)

It's most likely hardware rather than a virus..
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Just a suggestion, but have you tried letting the computer run in safe mode and idle to test whether or not it's an overheating issue?
