... but that doesn't solve the reason why it crashed on shutdown.
Would YOU really be interested in discussing this problem with this guy?
If that were my job I would tell the idiot that just turning it off likely won't fix his problem of the computer not shutting down on its own, and I need to verify the account/etc, then I will be able to proceed further.

When he went off on yelling I would tell the idiot that if he cannot control himself, I will end this call, and he should call back later after he has calmed down. I will speak over these people if they continue talking.

However I'm willing to bet that most of their polices are to have people use the restore disk vs doing any real troubleshooting. This idiot probably infected his mothers computer with malware by visiting some porn/p2p/warez in the first place.
