I have seen both happen. Admittedly, not as often as in the pre-XP
days, though. I have also (considerably more rarely), seen equivalent strange behaviour on Linux systems. I have no particular theories - it didn't happen often enough to significantly impact on productivity, but then I've learnt to "save, save, save...", and also have daily backups.

Windows tends to heat my Mac laptop up so hot that it shuts down. It's not the most useful feature of the operating system.

If the former, then the fault could be with the Virtual Machine. I have noticed Virtual Box running at 100% CPU when running an idle version of MacOSX , for instance.

An overheating video card will shut down a system. I have one that
does (did) it. I use a laptop as a video player driving an external VGA display. It would periodically shut down while playing video (and only then). Setting it up in a A-frame position and ensuring moving room air was blowing through it helped. I recently took it apart because of the sudden appearance of noise in the displayed video. It seems that the constant high heat had actually vaporized the solder on some of the contacts of the VGA connector to the main board. I refreshed the solder, and the problem... evaporated. I've decided to leave the keyboard and top cover (touch pad) off to help it stay cool. I use it with a wireless keyboard and mouse, anyway.

That could be my problem. My particular Mac is known for graphics card issues. My current work around is to not ever boot into Windows, and it has worked beautifully so far.
