my pc dials 911--is it haunted?

[greyheart]

just yesterday I received 3 calls from 911 dispatch saying that my pc call 911. I had my pc up and running in the other room but was not in use by anyone! So after the 3rd call from the dispatch, I powered it down. What should I check for causes to why this possessed pc would call 911 by itself?
