I have been experiencing an unexpected shut down with my laptop since I got it which was in Jan 2008 up till now 5 times >>>>it happened in a month twice where there is a gap of two month between the incidents.. Today was the 5th and I was able to write what the report said on the blue screen since I have made my setting for the computer not to reboot after an unexpected shutdown... Don???t know if I could get a help here as to what could be the cause... some are listed just don???t know where to start from or what to do or if I can do anything before sending it to the vendor..
Note Usually after this shut down the computer reboots and all goes back to normal The problem is a blue screen with the following written on it:-Problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.check if you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable driver or check with the manufacturer for drivers updates. change video adapter. Bios update check with your vendor. Disable bios memory options such as cashing or shadowing, if you need to use safe mode to remove Or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced start up options, and then select safe mode. and of course while all the above have been written on the blue screen the following also was going on:- Collecting data for crash dump Initializing disk for crash dump. Beginning dump of physical memory. Dumping physical memory to disk. Physical memory dump complete. Note Usually after this shut down the computer reboots and all goes back to normal
One of my computers is a Gateway desktop, that came with Vista Home Premium. This computer has been giving me problems ever since I got it last May. It has been giving me unexpected shut downs without warnings. I have formated the hard drive numerous times, and finally paid Gateway to get the restore disk so that I could do this. Well, the problem kept continuing. I had talked to Gateway numerous times also. Anyway, the last straw was yesterday when I restored again, and this time she did a shut down on me when it was installing the necessary updates.
Now I knew it wasn't a software incapability or something that I loaded that was causing it. So I called Gateway again, and this time I rant and raving about how I was frustrated about this and I wanted to find a way to absolutely clear my hard drive from this corrupted thing or virus, so I could do another clean format. After her research about this................
How can I prevent Vista from automatically shutting down after a given period of time? I like to listen to online audio all day, but not necessarity while working on the computer.

wondering if somehow that I might have set up in my computer somewhere
without realizing it.
Can anyone help me on this?
I'll be reading something and before I know it, the computer turn it self off.
I turned it back on and it works fine.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and connect to the internet via a wireless router (Sky). I installed MSE a couple of weeks ago, but upon checking yesterday I found that it actually does not update (automatic or manual), instead it gives me the error message "Virus & Spyware definitions update failed. MSE was not able to check for updates - make sure computer is connected to the interned and try again", even though I am clearly connected to the internet (actually using it whilst trying to update MSE).
Having read your forum I uninstalled MSE, used a clean up tool to remove any potential remainders of previous anti-spyware programs and re-installed MSE. Initially the virus update worked fine, scanned the laptop and thought problem sorted. This morning, out of interest, I tried to update the virus definitions again, just to see if it works, but no, I am now getting the same error message again...also, for quite some time now, when Windows informs me that there are updates available and I try to install these I get an error message, plus I can't log into Messenger either?
The other day I recieved a automatic update, so as normal I accepted it since then IE8 does not even load. Things I've tried: Tried to uninstall IE8, but can't find it in "Remove programs" Tried to system restore, but won't allow past the download date Tried Re-installing it, but keeps giving me a error message "you have a newer version already installed on system"
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have gone to "Control Panel" and selected "system" and turned automatic update to automatic and set a time to that it should happen at every day. I have also gone into "Security Center" and tried to turn it on, but it says error:1058 and won't let me. I've even gone onto windows.com to scan computer for updates, but won't allow me to without having automatic updates on. And then it gives steps of how to do so. clicking on START and clicking RUN typing in services.msc to change all 3 things of what it says to to get automatic updates to turn on. NOTHING HAS WORKED, I've defragmented and cleaned disk for the computer, upgraded my virus/ spyware software and tried lookin up for solutions and haven't found any.

Whatever program is running says (not responding) and I cant Cntrl Alt Delete or anything. I end up having to cut the computer off and restart. Am I stuck with this, the worst update ever?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone.

The application presented a window for handwriting. maybe Vista thought my Desktop computer was a handheld device? well i disabled that application and ever since it was installed, my touchpad (which is integrated with my keyboard and has its own PS2 plug) does not work. It does show up in a list of devices though saying 'functionin properly'
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased Windows Vista Premium upgrade for my Computer. I installed it as an upgrade and it worked for a little bit then it needed to downloaded updates. After it downloaded the updates it said it needed to install them and close windows and reopen. So it closed and when Windows reopend it said that the updates had an error and needed to reload and shut down and restart. Then it did it again and again and again. So being disgusted with the whole thing I did a clean install. Now what my problem is, is that when I try to activate windows online it says that my version of Windows is for upgrading not for clean install and it wont give me the option to activate by phone. How do I go about doing it by phone? What would be the phone number to do this?

Today (June 3) I experienced an astoundingly high volume of new e-mail loaded into my Inbox. The new e-mail was unexpected and upon further review is a duplicate of past e-mail.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just been using my computer (XP) and have lots of applications running, taking up a lot of memory, even when minimized. Then it hit me - why not (probably in an upcoming version of windows) have an extra button near minimize/maximise, that puts the application into hibernation? The idea being that if the application needs no interaction, like possibly you are writing a word document, but you are waiting for some information to put in it via email. In this case, you don't really want to close word, as the email may arrive at any time. On the other hand, you aren't using word, so it is running in the background, taking up resources.
Why not make it so that when you click the 'Hibernate Application' button next to minimize, it minimizes the application, and writes the active memory onto the HDD. Then when it is restored, load it back out of the HDD into the RAM (much like the way the Hibernate Windows feature works). Certain applications won't be ideal for this, such as if you hibernated an mp3 player, it would result in stopping playback. But for other uses, this seems an excellent feature. It could even be expanded to restore individual applications to their working state after a full reboot (the applications would be there when you logon). This would safegard against losing your minimized word documents that you have open, if there is an upexpected shutdown or reboot. I understand that there is some optimisation going on when you minimize applications anyway, but I'm talking about total hibernation.
Computer freezes while i'm in the middle of something, the mouse pointer will get "stuck" for 3-4 seconds, then the screen goes black (but the power is still on). I get no message, and nothing works except for holding down the power button to turn off the pc. When I restart there is no record of any problem in the problem history.

my dad bought a Gateway (model:GT5428) desktop about two years ago. well not long after that it started to shutdown unexpectedly. ofcoarse my dad thinking that it would cost a butt load of money to get it fixed. so he tried to fix it himself and asking my step-grandfather to help him, but the problem still continues.
Here I'll give detailed discription of what usually happens: when logging in, the unit's fan gets really noisy as if its handling alot at once. if we open a program like internet explorer to soon it will shutdown; so we usually wait a while until we think it's ok to open the program. but after shutting down a blue screen appears and then it reboots. now in safe mode it works fine so I'm pretty sure it's not a Ram problem but I believe it maybe a driver issue concerning some hardware( a linksys wi-fi adapter) that was installed by someone at circuit city when he bought the computer. so I need help finding the problem. Problem reports and solutions has logged in 366 unexpected shutdowns since 2007.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop that this past week decided to do a Windows update and afterwards was running at 100% cpu and really slow. After everything I did and everything I knew to do I decided to clean the HD and re-install the OS. I partitioned the HD and tried to install Vista. It got all the way thru to the point it was "suppose" to reboot and ask for my name and comp info and just shut down. When I turned it back on a window popped up saying something to the effect of "windows restared unexpectedly or had an unexpected error please select ok to restart your computer and installation of Windows" so then I have to re-install all over again and it failed again and again. I ran the pre-boot system assessment and found out my HD crashed. I installed a new HD and ran the pre-boot assessment again and everything checks out but I'm still getting the box to pop up cause it keeps turning itself off at the same point as I mentioned above. I can't/ don't know how to get into DOS so I can check the motherboard but I'm getting ready to throw this thing up against the wall.

Just when everything is restarted the error message is that System restore was not successful due to an "unexpected error". I have a new Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium (SP1 has not downloaded yet) and Norton Internet Security 2007 and Spybot latest version. I tell you this because on my old XP desktop I had to change a setting on NAV to enable system restore to work and once I did that everything was fine. -

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy 'unexpected shutdowns' are random and occur -on average- once every session. They vary but usually go by two main scenarios: (1) Vista desktop and mouse cursor freezes - control/alt/delete and keyboard too - the only alternative is to push the PC restart button - or (2) the monitor goes black and Vista reboots on its own. What's usually happening when these scenarios occur? Well, I ought to keep a log ready to record these events. I'll soon have to try but as a student in a much earlier life - I took such bad lecture notes I could not read them after two class lectures. Here's what I can recall:1. I think most shutdowns have happened when either beginning to view a video or going to a new web page that pops up a streaming advertisement.
2. I recall one when I opened Windows Mail - but cannot say if I had clicked on anything yet or if mail was downloading at the time. So - it may not be Windows Mail but just the action of opening a new window? My Internet research indicates these 'unexpected shutdowns' have been frustrating Vista & earlier MS OS users for years. Rather surprisingly, I found no promising suggestions for troubleshooting or remedies - to date. For years the OS of my choice was W2K. If only Vista had W2K's reliability. I rarely - if ever- experienced such ongoing, unexpained W2K events.Perhaps I've missed some new info that addresses this issue - so that's the primary reason for this posting. Anything? I should add that upon rebooting after an unexpected shutdown - Vista asks if Safe Mode is desired during rebooting. I never benefited by going to Safe Mode - except that on the many occasions that I bypassed Safe Mode & choose normal rebooting - I would experience a variety of other issues soon afterwards. So - Safe Mode is probably the best way to go if one's patience permits - even if it avails few if any hints as to the specific shutdown
This dumb, uninformative, repetitive Event ID has been my most persistent, random, & most often logged Event Viewer error message since I clean installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit from a retail box the most part of a year ago. It has also been the primary cause for my biggest disappointment with Vista & strong evidence of Vista's failure as a reliable OS (not to say that this is the only evidence for such failure). My unrelenting search for relief has been just as persistent & has proven totally unsuccessful to date. However, my search has still been a learning experience. What have I learned? The following is not a complete list:
1. Windows users have been experiencing the same frustration (same issue) for several years going back to earlier Windows Op Systems.
2. This event has been reported by Windows users on a variety of platforms, PC brand models, and both Vista 64 & 32 bit versions.
3. No one cause has been identified as the trigger for this event - nor have I found that any effective remedy/work-around has ever been posted either on tech web sites, Microsoft newsgroups, or the Microsoft Knowledge Base................
