I was playing Call of Duty 4 and all of a sudden the game quit and took me to desktop.

About 3 seconds later, the computer went to the shutdown screen and it said "installing updates 2 of 3 at 100%"

After sitting here for about a minute, the computer shut itself off.

I brought it back up, and it would go to a screen saying "resume recovery" or " delete restoration point"
The keyboard does not work, so I can not go into bios before this screen comes up, and I can't choose one of the options from the screen because of the keyboard not working.

This computer is only about 3 months old, and I payed ALOT of money for it. I am very sick at my stomache about this right now.

Please help!!

This is the exact dialogue found on the screen it is taking me too:

The last attempt to resume the system from its previous location failed. Attempt to resume again?

1. Continue with ststem resume

2. Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu?

Contact Alienware support for the premium support you paid for.

This is why you put windows updates on "notify me but let me choose to download and install updates." That way when windows has new updates out it doesn't start automaticly downlaoding and installing updates without your interaction.
