Laptop Powers Off At Startup?
Nov 5, 2011
On startup, power comes on, the hard disc runs and the system starts to boot but after 10 or 15 seconds the system powers off. This is a sudden and repeatable event, the screen sometimes getting into 'startup repair', but always powering off before any Recovery. After removal of the harddisk, memory slots and video card, I can poweron continuously and the main fan runs ok. A second fan (video chip?) does not run. Replacement of the hdd and memory is ok but as soon as the video card is re-installed the system returns to powering off after 10/15 seconds. The video card is an nvidia gtx go 7900/7950 and I don't want follow an expensive path of unit replacement- the laptop is 4 years old, a Rock Xtreme CTX Pro (a Clevo generic laptop with a Hannstar J MV-4 motherboard.

I put my laptop in sleep mode before leaving to star bucks.I open my laptop and press the power buttonThe internal fans start turning as well as the disc drive, but the screen remains blank.I have heard that Windows 7 has multiple issues with the sleep mode, and I'm pretty sure laptop is now stuck in hybrid sleep? Also, I noticed that there is a hotfix for this provided by microsoft, but I would have no way to use this since my computer cannot get stuck out of this. After Researching this, I heard some people taking out the battery and holding the power button down for 30 seconds, then running it off of a/c power.

I recently opened my laptop (already void of Warranty) to clean up the dust from the FAN which was giving so much of noise. After replacing the fan - i was able to control the noise - but my laptop starts to powers down automatically. This does not happen always. I checked the below things
1) Power Supply - no issues
2) Battery - no issues
I am not sure what is causing the laptop to power down automatically.

I put my Windows 7 laptop to hibernate when it is plugged to the power source. When I unplugged the laptop from the power source, the laptop powers off. The next time I turn on the laptop, it is restarted and I see the screen with a message that says Windows was not properly shut down.

I have a
Lenovo Laptop Thinkpad Edge E520
8GB RAM
Intel CPU B960
Pentium Processor 2.2GHZ
Recently when I have powered up my laptop it occasionally doesn't load properly, the screen stays black. You can hear the laptop working fine but you cannot see anything. This happens once or twice a week, I usually hold on the power button for 5 seconds, then reboot and it resumes my hibernate settings as usual. Could this be because I always hibernate my laptop?

My hp dv3t has been giving a message about checking a disk for consistency every time I reboot(ed) for about a week now, but today it froze after the countdown reaches zero (for bypassing the procedure)�nothing I do can get it past this step. What do I do? I tried booting from Safe Mode, it listed a bunch of drivers but then froze.I'm using W7 64-bit Home Premium.

I've been all over the internet trying to figure this problem out, but when I try to put my computer to asleep, it does as I described in the subject line. It's a new PC, though it was custom builtnyway, I've tried a dozen tips and tricks that haven't worked, and I'm sorry I can't remember what they all were. I've tried adjusting the Power settings, and tried changing options somewhere that said "Allow computer to sleep". With all the changes I've made, it should sleep

I have an hp dv5215us that I have been running off a power cable with no battery for quite some time now, hooked up to a secondary display, a Dell E151FPp. Every now and then I will unhook the secondary display and take the laptop with me to work without issues. Last night I popped my Win 7 install disk while running XP to install, clicked what I needed to, and let the install disk run. Now that Win 7 is installed, I am running into the following two issues:
1) When the secondary monitor is unplugged, the computer will not power on, let alone boot. No blue lights, nothing.
2) When the computer is on and I unplug the secondary display (I learned the hard way), the laptop powers off instantly, as if I unplugged it from the power source.
I looked in device manager under monitors and it only shows one. I am getting mirror screens now, and under the display options, the resolution options available to me look like those for the secondary monitor, not for the laptop monitor. I installed Windows 7 with the secondary plugged in.
I bought a new battery for the laptop online last night. I know it sounds like a hardware issue rather than an OS issue, but the laptop and secondary display didn't move anywhere since it was running without issues in XP, so unless there was some kind of short or something while the installation was taking place, I can't think of why this would be happening.
Any suggestions?

Ok well we had some lighting today but power did not go off, maybe made some of the things flicker for half a second.After PC shut down went to go turn it back on, would boot for a few seconds but then turn off, never got the beep from the mobo or anythings..Things i tired.
-Different power supply (same thing)
-Removed CMOS and put back in (same thing)
-left all but 1 ram in (same thing)
I am thinking its the mobo but i want to be 100 % sure before i go out an buy a used one, as for some reason 1366 mobos are expensive.

I built a computer for a friend. I used the $500 build, found here: I kept everything the same except I got a core i5-2310, and a zotac GTX 560ti, instead of the ECS(due to mail in rebate). It powered on initially fine. I installed motherboard drivers and video card drivers off the cds provided. I rebooted once, and began running windows update. I noticed performance was slow. So I checked task manager and CPU usage was at 100%, and then it just turned off. So i tried to reboot it, with no luck. I removed video card thinking that uses the most juice, and it still did the same thing. Reseated everything, put new thermal paste on cpu and still same thing. System turns on for 3-5 seconds then everything turns off. No beeps, etc. Im kind of at a loss. I did think it was odd that the PSU was only 450w, and gtx 560ti says 500 minimum. Could that be the issue with the core i5 i threw in there over the celeron g530 Edit: some odd behavior I noticed. When I pressed shutdown. It said windows is shutting down, but the PC restarted. Though that was weird.also tested with my 500w raidmax psu.

While off, my computer (Dell Optiplex 755) suddenly powers on and two seconds later powers off again. This happens every 20-30 minute 24/7.

I don't know what this could be, I set my system to power off the monitor instead of using a screen saver. When ever I try to power it back on the screen will come on with the desktop as I left it, but the computer freezes.
So I reboot and during the reboot it checks my C drive for consistency, never finds a problem. Other than that the system works fine, and it doesn't happen every time, more like once or twice a week. It happened twice today which got me fed up enough to ask the community. I have no clue what it could be, I thought it might be the C drive going out, but it's a new SSD, actually it's a replacement as the first one I bought died after about a month and OCZ sent me a new one.

I just built a new computer, installed Windows 7 and all that, worked great. However, recently, when I leave the computer on by itself, after a while I will come back and the computer will have randomly shut itself off. Mind you, it isn't a full shut down, such that when I hit the power button again, it doesn't go through a full windows boot, just takes me to the login screen to my user account. What also happens at this time, is that my computer does not recognize my monitor's optimal resolution. I then have to go into the control panel and hit detect every time this happens, so that the computer displays on the whole screen.

I have 4 computers in my office.Out of 4,3 of them has a problem for the past 2 months.They all run windows 7.
They keep working for about 30 mins to 1 hour after which they suddenly goes into power saving mode.The monitor goes dark but the CPU light and the fan still work.Then after 10-20 seconds it automatically restarts.
When logging in after the restart,It shows "The system has recovered from a serious error".This happens every 30 mins and for these 3 systems.(I bought it from the same shop last year),But the other one works perfect for about 4 years.
I have tried cleaning the fan,sink and even reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 7.Still the problem persists.

The problem started 7 months ago, but it was minor. Mostly, while gaming, in the main menu, the PC just shuts down. Sometimes it gives me " Stop errors". The last STOP error was 0X0000007F. I've updated BIOS and the Graphics Driver.

I've had issues with this thing for awhile but for the sake of the forum I'l stick to my current issue.Upon startup, everything works fine. I put in my login password and Windows begins to load. While Windows is loading it just reezes. The only thing I can say is it freezes after most of the applications load but it's still searching for networks. Straight freezenothing works. However, and this was weird, out of the 4 or 5 times it froze last night, one of the times I was still able to move the mouse. Nothing else worked though.My drivers should be up to date. I do check them and update them as needed.I do regular checks for viruses and spyware. I use free programs that are updated regularly.I "clean up" my system on somewhat regular basis.I defragment the hard drive on a somewhat regular basis.I clean my registry regularly.I deleted the programs that start up with the computer that I don't need. Winamp, my spyware scanner, and this clean-your-PC program I downloaded (see below) no result I recently got suckered into one of those clean your PC programs that cost like 20 bucks. That's the only major program I've downloaded recently. I did a system restore to before I downloaded that and the same problem occurred.The computer works fine in safe mode. Even "with networking" it connects to the internet just fine.I did just realize I didn't do a virus scan in safe mode last night, I'll do that when I get home tonight. But if you guys know a good free virus scanner to use let me know, otherwise I'll follow up if the virus scan fixes it.

My sons laptop freezes part way through start up, shortly after windows logo has appeared, remains like this for few minutes befor shutting down. Have tried safeboot and starts until file windowssystem32DRIVERAtiPcie64.sys is reached when it freezes again. I've found some software called Farbar Recovery Scan Tool which has given me a large text file.

my laptop has been working fine for the most, occasionally the screen would go weird and turn white with horizontal lines moving and i planned on getting that checked out soon, but today it wouldn't start up. i turn the laptop on and it goes to the Starting Windows screen and the windows logo never shows up and then it tries to do a system repair and it can't solve the problem. i'm not really sure what else there is for me to do. there aren't any system restore points i can use and i can a check disk that did nothing. i wanted to try turning it back to factory settings and backing up my files but when i tried to do the file back up and it was creating the back up files i got an error that says "HP Recovery Manager failed. Error code = FFFFFF0C."

My girlfriends laptop (my old laptop) is an HP Pavilion dv3-2310ea. It's recently started cutting out (completely turns off as though the battery has been pulled) when in use, but now it's got so bad i can't even get passed the windows startup, and when it does it's near 2mins before it cuts out again. I'm trying to run a bios update but it won't stay on long enough for me to get anywhere with it.

getting past the windows 7 startup password on my laptop. It wasn't there before, but this morning I tried getting on and it won't let me enter safe mode or the boot menu. It's a black screen with a blue rectange that says "enter current password" I have tried doing the ctrl alt delete thing and F2, F8 and F12.. But nothing works!

My HP laptop has been running slow and crashing for a few days. I downloaded and ran malwarebytes but it didn't find anything. My AVG 2011 stopped working yesterday and now tonight the laptop won't even start up in safe mode. Its launching straight into windows, then into system repair, which fails.
