    See question in topic.
    Can it?
    I was using µTorrent when suddenly in the middle of the night my PC just poof,
    gave up and shut down.
    I checked the 'System' category in the Event Viewer, and I see something in the likes of 'max TCP connections reached' around that hour.

    So I am wondering, can this exception (overload of TCP connections) cause my PC to shutdown by itself?
    My PC rarely does this.
    Computerhope is corrupt.

    No, reaching max TCP connections cannot cause your computer to crash. This is just a network interface setting  It must be something else. See what other events happened around that time. Could be hardware faults or overheating.
