Re: [libreoffice-users] opening powerpoint files restart the computer

Hello

My two cents worth would rather be to focus on the actual Powerpoint 
data file that is the source of the problem, when attempted to being 
opened. If it has any corruption in it, or possibly a piece of malware 
made to disguise and represent itself as a Powerpoint presentation, then 
I would accept it crashing and forcing a reboot of the PC, especially if 
there is no malware protection in place, on a Windows system especially. 
Virus writers can easily embed bad and malicious code into documents, 
presentations and spreadsheets.

Try another known working presentation data file, and see if this also 
causes the crash with LO and the PC, if not, then you know where your 
source of your problem is.

Cheers
