In image 4, it looks like the system has decided to shut down for some
reason. Normally that message would appear after the superuser runs a
command like "shutdown now". Maybe there is a message earlier on the
screen explaining why the system decided to shut down. You can scroll
to earlier messages by pressing scroll lock and then using page up.

For image 3, I think you should wait for someone wiser than me to
comment...
