These kinds of problems are the worst, because they can't be readily
reproduced at will. I have two machines, for example, and both shut down
immediately. This is the kind of situation where the competition says,
"Please send us your computer at your expense. We'll reproduce it, maybe
we'll fix your problem, maybe not, and then we'll send you your machine
back at your expense."
