I checked my reliability monitor today and it reports two unexpected shutdowns, a load of crashes and a failed Microsoft Office re imaging. The build is two or three days old and apart from one emergency shutdown where my CPU cooling fan wasn't hooked up I don't recall seeing any of the other stuff happen, it's been smooth as you like. So, where's reliability monitor getting this stuff?

Am I not shutting it down correctly? Going to bottom right>settings>power>shutdown and a few seconds later it's off

So, do you know why I get not properly shutdown messages in reliability monitor? The case lights sort of flash and then power off on shutdown, only once have they faded out. Is this just Windows 8's problem and not mine?

Computer runs perfect though, unlike what reliability monitor says. It says programs have crashed when I can quite clearly still use them at the time it said they'd crashed (I just won't be using them at that time, so they'll be idle in the background)
