I have a Toshiba L305 Satellite laptop.It had windows vista OS. I tried to upgrade it to windows 7 but the upgrade was unsuccessful and a message was displayed on a windows 7 background that it would revert back to the older OS. It kept rebooting every time and shutting down with display of this message. Since the computer was not working anyways I took this as an opportunity to disassemble the system and clean it inside out as I had'nt cleaned it since I bought the system. After assembling back the system,, when I boot the system the computer after the POST displays the same message and shuts down but the difference this time being it does'nt reboot back on its own.When I start the system the second time it shuts down much quicker many seconds even before the message display.The same keeps repeating everytime. Booting for a a minute or two the forst time followed by a shutdown and then after rebooting shutting down much quicker time. What could be the problem PSU or excess heat at the CPU.

My computer repeatedly shuts down on me. Yesterday it must have shut down on me 20 times. My virus and malware scans come out clean. It usually goes to a menu asking me if I want to start the computer normally or in safe mode. However sometimes, I have to run start-up repair and sometimes I get a blue screen. The problem is the blue screen doesn't stay up long enough for me to write down error codes or anything else it says.
we went away to a cottage for a week and when i came back and started using the computer it was acting strangely. we just moved to a new house a few weeks back so obviously they had to move my internet. i am not sure whether this is a network issue or a computer hardware issue or software.i do not get any bsod's. i have not noticed whether the computer freezes when i am not using the internet. i will be looking out for a pattern. the screen will freeze, it will not go black it will just freeze, i cannot open any icons on the desktop or do anything on the computer. when i am using Internet it may say the schockwave plugin stopped working, i tried uninstalling the plugins and the player itself and reinstalling but to no effect. it can last anywhere for 30 seconds to five minutes. obviously it is very annoying especially if i am playing multiplayer games.the computer is working right now without freezing and task manager is saying of the 2047 mb of ram, 852 is cached, 833 is available and 16 is free. cpu usage is between 40 and 50% and all i am doing is running chrome for the most part as well as utorrent. i have stopped most of the programs running in the background. it says there are 52 processes in task manager. in resource monitor i see something called deferred procedure and interrupts appearing near the top of the list in cpu consumption but maybe that is normal. i have no idea. also wmpnetwk.exe is running.
running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit here. I don't know if this is due to my wifi adapter or the connection or what. I use a wireless connection here, provided by the place we live, the signal is very weak on my desktop. At times when connect to it, it doesn't even load a webpage, but what happens is my mouse skips across the screen, buzzing comes outta my speakers just as the mouse skips, it's like having interference somehow and I just don't get how connecting to the wifi does this, the wifi is really weak, I don't even know why I can't connect, I mean the signal is there, I can connect, but it doesn't load a webpage.
my computer started to shutting down by itself a few days ago. It will shut down just from turning it on, sometime a few minute while its on, and even a hour later. One time, it shut down by itself but the PSU is still running. [code]
i have a windows 7 laptop, and i'll be either working on a document or trying to upload an edited video to Internet when my computer inexplicably shuts down - taking with it all my hard work. i've run malwarebytes antimalware and it finds nothing. i also installed a norton security suite from comcast recently, so i don't know if that has something to do with it.
I have a problem with my win 7 computer randomly shutting down. I experienced overheating from graphic card and CPU or a bad HDD where the computer would just freeze and shut down (from my other computers), but this one shuts down as if I clicked on 'shut down' button on my start tab.
It closes my open applications first then shows 'logging off' screen to 'shutting down' screen and than shuts down. This happens pretty randomly. I use this computer mainly for web surfing and watching videos. I never use it for gaming. Sometimes it would shut down within 5 minute of usage and some other times it would not shut down at all for hours.
Its a HP compaq machine with 2.7ghz AMD Sempron, 2GB SDRAM, and Window 7 home premium 64bit. I added a Radeon HD X1300 graphic card and been using it for about 2 years without problem.
I ran all diagnostic programs and ran Malwarebyte AntiMalware and Microsoft Security Essential and found no problem. CPUID HWmonitor showed all components were around 30-45 degrees. My only guess left is the power supply.
Last night I was on face book playing a game and my computer shut off for no reason.I turned it back on but it shut off again after about 10 minutes.I downloaded hijackthis but it won't seem to work for me,it dos the scan but I get a message saying,for some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file.If any highjackthis domains are in this file,hijackthis may not beable to fix this.
so recently my computer's been shutting itself down randomly and i noticed this happened when im surfing the net (with firefox). It just did it again 2 times in the last 30minutes and now im on chrome. It would usually black out for 1 second then the BSOD comes on for another 1s then the screen totally blacks out like theres no system unit connected to it and yet the sound coming from the unit can only indicate its still running!is something burning out in my computer or is it just firefox? on windows 7 btw, computer bought in june 2010.Ran memtest and after 7 passes and 7 hours there were no errors.
My computer has been shutting down unexpectedly for a while. I installed a new power supply, stopped using Internet Explorer, and replaced Vista with Windows 7. The problem seemed to go away. However, recently I've been getting the BSOD and having the computer shut down. Before I go buy a new computer (current one was purchased in 2007), I thought I'd see if anyone here has any suggestions. I went to the Event Manager and found the following errors in the Administrative Files that occurred around the time of the last shut down.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and when i went to shut it down i got BSOD.Technical information stop:0x0000008e(0xc0000005,0x8c9dc3bc,0xb9b1ba04,0x00000000)classpnp.sys-address 8c9dc3bc base at 8c9d8000,data stamp 4a5bbf18
Whenever I burn a DVD of videos my computer shuts down immediacies, or a few times when Roblox is being played maybe it uses lots of graphics? I was told to clean the Cpu fan will get someone to do that but could it be something else?
Recently my computer randomly shuts off, then it tries to turn itself on by itself and it keeps rapidly turning on and off like simultaneously, after like 10 sec it finally shuts off, during the on and off process the power light blinks yellow to white. It can take little as 3 hours before it happens to a whole day, so during all that time i am mostly playing WoW or League of Legends, so the 3 hours to a day seems odd in when it does it. It only happens when i am watching a movie or show or playing a game. If i just leave my computer alone it never does it. I have a cpu temp program and gpu temp program and the temps are no where near the max temp.

This is in reference to my first post. I did not give a link to where you could find what my problem is. I only found he "edit" icon only after I posted this notice.
i have a hp pavilion a647c and one day i went to up date with the auto updater when it updated it restarted then it would not stay started longer then ten seconds?
When i shutdown my pc it got restarted, i thought it was my mistake. But this issue happened in today morning also. I have to shutdown my PC twice to let it shutdown properly without restarting.
I have a dual boot computer running Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC.
I recently built a new computer for my wife and loaded it with just Windows 7 RC pending delivery of the full retail version in October.
Both computers have a similar problem. Sometimes - but not always - after shutting down the computer using the Start>Shut Down button it appears to shut down but has actually gone into a deep sleep with a blank black monitor and will not wake up no matter what keyboard buttons you press. It will also not reboot when you hit the computer power button.
The only way you can switch the computer off is to hold the computer power button down for about 10 seconds - then press it again for a normal reboot.
I have an AMD Athalon IIx4 640 3.gig w/ 4. gig memory computer. I play Frontierville on Facebook alot. I am having trouble with computer shut down in the middle of the game. It doesn't blue screen it simply shuts down. POOOF!!!! gone. Then I have to restart the computer. I am running Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I have a 2 year old HP computer running windows 7. Never had any problems until last week. It just shut down while I was on it. I tried restarting, it would go to the log in page and shut down again (not shut off, but actually shut down). When I would try to put my password in, it kept typing letters until the box was full. I tried system restore and finally had to do system recovery. Upon finishing that when it restarted, it shut down again. I kept trying and it seemed to stay on longer each time til I finally got it to work. Was ok for about 5 days and started all over again. I wasn't able to open and reinstall my personal stuff.
I don't have a password on my restart now and it sometimes will load everything but mostly shuts down after it says welcome. Sometimes it will stay on an hour, sometimes won't stay on at all. Since I wiped it clean pretty much, surely if there was something file wise, I would have removed it? Is it the computer itself I have Norton Internet Security 2012. I cleaned my keyboard, thought maybe a key was stuck the way it would keep typing like I had a key pressed. I noticed it sometimes does that if I am typing, then shuts down.
i have a basic, stock HP Pavilion m8109n PC. I moved about a month ago and out of no where it started randomly shutting off with NO BSOD, most commonly when I'm watching a movie, browsing the internet, or doing any day-to-day tasks. I'm fairly familiar with all things computer, but not having any BSOD to work with inhibited me from easily diagnosing the problem. I did a clean install of Windows, but it kept crashing. I assumed this meant it's the hardware.My first thought was heat. I checked the temperatures on all the sensors�everything from a cold start to seconds before it crashed�but all the temperatures were within range, even under heavy load. It doesn't seem to crash as frequently or at all when I leave the computer idle; it only seems to crash when I'm doing something on it. But assuming the sensor readouts are accurate, I moved on. The only way to successfully reproduce the crash is to plug in my D-LINK USB Wireless Network adapter. I have no idea why this causes it to crash, as it happens with or without software/drivers installed, but it does. I figured this might mean it's the power supply. I bought a new one, plugged it in, but the crashes still happened. It wasn't the power supply.
Windows 7 x64 OEM HP p6754y, bought it at Best Buy early 2011 AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor, 3.00 GHZ Anyway, every time I shut my computer down, I get a quick flash (maybe 3 seconds) of BSOD; not quick enough to read any of it. It never really bothered me because it didn't affect anything I did, it only happened on shutdown. Lately, it's been happening to a full screened, pc-heavy game I've been playing. I opened up my case and dusted it out incase it was the video card overheating or something, but it wasn't that bad.
-Original OS was Windows XP Media Center Edition -This was an upgrade version, which means I have to install it on top of another OS. -Computer is about 7 years old. -I believe I bought Windows 7 when it came out. They had a great deal going on for students. -Never re-installed this OS.
It doesn't happen every time, but every now and then when I'm shutting the computer down I'll get the BSOD.
I have made a task to restart everyday at 06:30.The lid is always close and the computer wont sleep for that, but when I wake up I went to the computer and the computer was off... I am using .../shutdown.exe /r /t 15 in a batch file, so the tasks starts the batch file.
Any time I go to the windows start menu to shut off the PC, windows will shut off but leave the fans and LEDs (probably the hardware as well) on and running. I can of course just flick the power switch and it will shut off, and I can also turn the PC off manually by simply holding the power switch, but it would be nice if windows would just shut the computer off. I am fairly positive this isn't a hardware issue even though I did just get a new system as this issue was not happening until Windows updated to service pack 1. It may have been one of the other updated that went with it, but I think SP1 may be the culprit. System is as follows:AS Rock Extreme 4 Z77 i5 3570 Gigabyte GTX 670 16GB G-Skill RAM "F3-1600C9D-16GXM" M4 Corsair 256 GB SSD (Boot Drive)
For the last 2-3 hours i've been experiencing random shutdowns. No visual cues, no BSOD, just shuts down. here are my specs (computer only 6months old);
Mobo - MSI 870 G45 CPU: Phenom x4 955 RAM: 12GB DDR3-1600MHz GPU: AMD Radeon HD6670 HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKS PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3 500-Watt
Win 7 home premium 64bit
No overclocks, only BIOS settings changed were the voltages on my ram (over a month ago) edit: thinking it might be my PSU failing... should i just buy another one? if so what would be compatible>?
btw, eventviewer doesn't point to anything specific just says the shutdown was unexpected and i ran sfc scannow already.
