I set my power settings to go to sleep upon closing the lid of my laptop, but for some reason over the past few weeks it has decided to randomly restart the computer instead of just going to sleep. This doesn't happen all the time, but with relative frequency. Another problem with it is that every time it does this (meaning everytime it chooses to restart upon closing the lid, not every time I restart otherwise) is that it clears all of my cookies, as well.
One of the computers in my office keeps rebooting to the safe mode option when trying to print. The print job is coming from Quickbooks, but I don't think that is the root of the issue. The printer is a b&w Brother HL-2070N laser printer and has been set up on the same computer for over a year. The desktop computer is running Vista Home Basic. The problem just started and I don't know where to start. I haven't found anything online that relates to my issue yet
I have just bought a new computer with the following specs 3.00 Ghz Intel core 2 Duo ATI Radeon HD3870X2 4gb DDR3 Ram 500gb Hard driver Asus P5E3 Mobo 650W Power Supply Windows Vista 64 bit
The while playing games such as Call of Duty 4 and World in Conflict I can play for about 5 mins to 30 mins then my computer would randomly shut off and restart.
The weird thing is that it plays fine in other games like Crysis on high graphisc and I can play for hours and have no problems. The CPU tempearature is about 50-60C while playing and the GPU is about 70-80.
I am using Vista Ultimate and am on a fairly new computer, does anyone know what is causing this? I've ruled out overheating and energy problems. I set windows to not automatically restart and give me a blue screen on crashing, but it still shuts down and restarts with no warning. Is this a hardware issue? It's done this since I've gotten the computer but it seems to be getting worse now.
When I try to boot Vista (Home Premium 32bit), the loading screen with the green bar doohicky shows up followed by a black screen with the mouse cursor. It oscillates between "working" and regular cursor but in the end, the computer just restarts and it does that again if I try to boot it. This probably happened because I system restored right before getting this problem, but I'm not absolutely sure. I also got this error message just once or twice in the many times I tried to boot:..........................
When I first got my computer, it worked just fine, I played all my games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and WoW on the fullest settings without a problem. Then a few months later it began restarting after anywhere between 30 mins to 1hour+ of playing. I called the makers of my computer, we tried to see if it was overheating but it wasnt, I also tested the videocards, it wasnt that either. Then, out of nowhere it fixed itself for a few months, then out of nowhere it happened again. I restored my computer to an earlier time and it worked for a few days and now it's restarting again.
when I had to open Internet Explorer (I use Mozilla) to access my school email account. Everything went fine and when I was done I reopened Mozilla to browse again. I got one of those annoying spam web popups saying I had a computer infection and clicked out of it. A few minutes later my pc just randomly rebooted. I have had viruses before but it has never shut down randomly before. So I immediately restarted in safemode and ran my spyware tools. I found 3 trojans (I no longer remember their names) and removed them. I rebooted and it starts to load windows but reboots before it reaches the user account screen. I can get into safe mode and I did run my spyware tools again, they didn't find anything at all. I figured I had somehow damaged my system and so I downloaded a windows repair disc and repairedit. It didn't work. I've run startup repair and that didn't work or find anything wrong either.
whenever a direct download starts without UAC check up that it does 2 anything or whenever any app gives error/crash or whenever i try 2 run command prompt my vista restarts ! i am really pissed off with its this kinda behaviour. any solution 2 stop unwanted these kinda reboots?
Whenever i take out the usb from my laptop is just restarts on its own how do i fix this problem? Also, when i transfer my korean songs from pc to laptop all the korean comes out as symbols but on my pc it looks normal.
This is the second time in the past year I had to do this and I cant remember what I did to fix it. When I click the "round circle" hibernate button it shuts down and the restarts again?
My friend has a VISTA Medion laptop (I dont have full details to hand but will get this and post latter). It has a problem that has just started to happen over the last two months or so (so they say). It started off that after starting the laptop for the first time after about 5-10 mins it would crash and go to a black screen with a few blue boxes on, the only way to get it back would be to hold the power button till it came on. I had a look at it and updated video drivers, windows and checked for viruses and malware. All of this seemed to do was move the problem to just going to a black screen (like hibernation) but i could not get it out of it unless again using the power button. I have now changed all power settings in basic and advance to off or various different versions of some off some on different times all to no avail. I have also disabled everything other than MS from startup. However this has now resulted in the laptop restarting itself again after 5-10 mins. Again it is only from a cold boot, once it has restarted once it is fine till the laptop is turned off.
Having read a few post i have since updated all the drivers i could think of including sound and network drivers. I have updated the BIOS all with very little change. The current state is that it still restarts but again only off a cold boot but now just before it does the screen goes blank and the mouse cursor gets bigger.So; I have already updated all drivers & the BIOS I have tried power settings including making sure hibernation is active and deactivate. I have disabled startup progs in MSCONFIG I have Virus and malware scanned I do not think it could be overheating as it only happens when the laptop is turned on for the first time and so has not had time to overheat and it would do it more often and not after only 5-10 mins. I have thought it could be the RAM but before spending money on new RAM i wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Does anyone know what the main difference is in the boot sequence when it does a cold boot? I forgot to mention the only thing my friend can think changed around about the same time as the problem started is that she started to use the wirless on the laptop.
This laptop is fairly new and both when I'm using it, and when it's idle at night, it will just restart for no reason. It's happening more and more, and no error code comes up.
If i 1. close the lid or 2. go to the so called "start" menu and hit sleep, about half the time I listen and hear that my laptop has restarted itself. If i keep the lid open and watch, it clearly restarts, and sometimes it brings me to that screen that says, windows has not started properly and it gives me the option to run normally or change to safe mode. i can run normally and everything is fine. Do not tell me to go to power options because VISTA FAILS is not an option and my power options are just fine and do not have to do with this. I would like an intelligent answer.
In short, my computer randomly restarts. This is obviously a problem but I haven't the slightest clue where to start. I built the computer a few days ago, my first time mind you, so I am willing to swallow my ego and realize this could be my fault.
when I try to print an email, windows mail shuts down and then restarts. Of course I send the information when that pop up window appears. As yet, I have not received a reponse from Microsoft. I am running Vista Home Premium on a gateway laptop.
I have Vista Home Premium 32bit. A few weeks ago I tried to install a number of updates for Windows. After installing the updates, my computer tried to restart. On restarting, the system seemed to stall on a page that said completing install 1 of 3, 0% completed. After about 15-20 seconds, the computer shut down and then restarted. This continued to happen over and over and over. Finally, I manually shut down the computer by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then I restarted the computer and was able to find my way to a system restore. I've tried several times to install the updates but I have run into the same problem. If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem so I can download the updates,
im having a problem with my hibernation mode when my laptop is shut. when i close the laptop, windows restarts and leaves an error code when started up again. the computer runs fine besides this, and is days old i might add. i have recently updated through microsoft, 'a shut down update' standard procedure. before this update hibernation worked fine. i dont know if this could have anything to do with it, but regardless i am new with vista.

Since last night, whenever I'm trying to shut down the blue screen appears with the message that it's dumping physical memory and starts counting and then restarts the computer! After that I get a message box showing the following:

I even tried to do a System Restore but when the comp shuts down to set up the restore point, blue screen shows up and repeats the whole process. Did a scan with Malware Bytes but still the same. I'm dead scared about the blue screen. Please HELP!!!
My System is 64 bit with 8GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz Processor with 350 GB hard drive.
I've read about this problem in several other post but no solutions that have worked for me.
My problem is that whenever I close my lid, allow my computer to go to sleep/hibernate, or even go to start->shut down, my computer restarts.
This past weekend I had my computer reformatted, thinking this would solve the problem, but the problem still persists.
The only way I can make my computer turn off is to hold down the power button for several seconds.
I have minimum computer knowledge, but I have been trying step by step solutions listed on other forums. I've been through all of the power management steps and have all of my settings on the suggested settings for this problem. I've deactivated almost all applications from opening on start up. I've checked USB, LAN settings and I believe those are not the problem. Still kind of unfamiliar with BIOS
When running the command powercfg -a, this is what comes up C:Windowssystem32>powercfg -a The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S3 ) Hibernat e Hybrid Sleep The following sleep states are not available on this system: Standby (S1) The system firmware does not support this standby state. Standby (S2) The system firmware does not support this standby state.
I own a Windows Vista Premium pc and every time I open a folder. For example "My Computer" the explorer shuts down and restarts without any error messages or warnings. I thought this was very strange as it usually gives error messages. I cannot open any folders.
This never happened for a couple of days but as I started updating Vista, the Blue Screen Error has been occurring. the Problems Center in Vista advised me to update to SP1 because it said that this issue has been resolved in the latest service pack. After updating, the problem is still here. When i boot Vista up its normal, and operates perfectly. But when the issue of putting my computer on sleep or shutting down/restarting, the Blue Screen appears and restarts my computer so i have to resort to turning it off manually.
I just built my first computer, I am a relative noob to all of this. I am having some issues that I am not even sure if is caused by Vista or not. I am crashing out of a couple of programs and I am crashing out of windows- as in the system goes to the blue screen and restarts.
What info do I need to tell you in order to have you help me figure this out?

When a click on a program in the start menu, explorer shuts down and restarts. However, if I drag the program to the desktop and click on it the program opens just fine. If I open windows explorer and right click on a file, explorer shuts down and restarts. Have there lost all context item availability.
I searched for "IE8" and it said no results...find that a little hard to believe
Anyways, odd problem to have. After being logged into Winders for a little while, doing some surfing, etc., I'll go to close IE8, click the red x, and it'll just sit there for 5-6 seconds, and then finally close. If I log off and log back on, it'll behave properly, but sooner or later will start to act up again.
Anyone else run into this? I'm running IE7Pro, but I've been running that for a while now and this has only recently popped up.
I can't close anything I open, only through task bar, but the X (close ) minimise maximise etc are disabled plus right click context on the windows only... (I can right click on start taskbar etc)... this is after i installede bootskin (which had an error whilst installing.. about somethign.. then uninstalled it but still foooked vista).. if i cant fix this i need to reinstall never come across this problem before sigh.
I'm running Vista x64 Ultimate on a new Dell XPS 1330. I have set the laptop lid power option to "do nothing" (as I've always done). Whenever I close the laptop lid, however, it looks like the machine attempts to suspend, then it reboots and comes back with the "Windows has recovered from a mighty serious error" message. I've searched and searched and not found any answer to this. All my drivers are up to date, I've WindowsUpdated, and I have no oddball hardware etc.
I've been having a problem on my new dell studio 15 laptop, at first,whenever I closed the lid, I would lose my wireless connection, now, when I close the lid I get an unexpected shutdown. I did my usual research, but it seems that people get this problem for different hardware issues, and there isn't a "one size fits all fix" Here's my error message...
