PC Boots Fine, But Around 5 Minutes After Login It Reboots
May 27, 2012
Additionally, on startup after one of these reboots, if I had anti-surge protection on it would say a surge was detected even though there was no surge. Well I assume there wasn't cause it always said there was, and I doubt that as nothing else was affected. Also, when I took the anti surge off, it still rebooted.

I have 2 internal drives in my tower, those being C: (main drive, obviously) and F:. F: was being a bit skittish so I decided to run chkdsk which fixed a few minor errors then moved on to booting into windows. Once it got into Windows, it loaded up the few startup items I have like Kaspersky Anti Virus, Steam, default manager and USB 3.0 monitor. No more than 4 items. Everything seemed fine and apparently booted up correctly. When I attempted to open a program, it didn't open for quite a bit of time and I couldn't open anything for a few minutes. Once the program finally opened, the PC started acting normally. I've run a full scan with KAV 2013 and did sfc /scannow to check integrity of the files and even did a chkdsk on C: which showed zero errors. No program I used to check the drive showed anything out of the ordinary.This just seems like the oddest thing to me. I've heard of PC's slowing down after operating normal (in fact, I had this problem last week when I would close out of Steam which has recently been updated). My Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 is up to date and my Nvidia GeForce GT450 videocard is also up to date. It's not the most horrible of situations, having to wait 5 or so minutes to start using my PC after Windows boots up but this is more a matter of curiosity. [code]

so i finally decided to install Windows 7 x86 - everything went well - put all the standard stuff on there etc - i rebooted many times because of installations and updates
on my last reboot it just got stock in the bios screen (verifying dmi pool data..success! etc)
so i rebooted, same thing, took the disc out, same thing - turned off boot devices same thing
tried to use window's useless repair tools (whatever happened to repair install?) which didn't help - so i decided to format and reinstall - then it says it was unable to do that (partition error or something)
the annoying this is...is that this EXACT..i mean EXACT same thing happened when i installed vista sp1 from scratch - this happened - and to fix it i had to leave my pc open overnight with the hard drive cables all unplugged..in the morning with my fingers crossed i tried the installation again - and it worked.
my d: always disappears (single hard disk sata 233gig (250)) - sometimes it'll vanish from my computer and stuff - but this can't be the problem because the d: is a single drive on its own - my c: is a25gig partition from my e: - so it's completely unrelated.
does it matter how i replug the sata cables (2 of them) into the mother board? - they're both being recognised anyway
this is really annoying though - mostly because there isn't really an explanation - and because this random stuff always happens to my pc! - is it my hard drive because that's the only thing that would half- make sense

Okay so I bought the Windows 7 Pro Upgrade 64bit using the Student download via Digitalriver.. I downloaded it on Windows 7 RC2 32bit and I followed the steps that was posted in the error thread to make an ISO file and I booted the disc and installed 64bit. Everything runs fine except when I get to the final phase of installing and it restarts my computer, the computer hangs at the Windows is starting up screen..
Someone said to try disablign the secondary LAN in BIOS but that was already disabled for me and it still doesn't work..

My computer boots up fine. All programs work fine. While I'm not using it (at least it hasn't happened while I'm using it) I hear it beep once and when I go to check the computer the screen wont show any picture, it's like the monitor is on but the PC is off.PC light is still on, hard drive still spinning and the fans are still on.I have to reset the PC and I get the "Windows was not properly shut down" message upon reboot.

Starting today my pc had those random reboots while in windows 7. It started when I was away. When I got home I logged in and 5 minutes later it would reboot. I am now in Vista and do not have the same problem.

It started out of nowhere last week - computer restarted itself twice, then BSOD. When starting Windows normally, it would appear as soon as I logged in. However, computer ran fine in Safe Mode and also ran fine under normal conditions if the internet was unplugged. I eventually diagnosed that the issue was caused by an AVG module when it connected to the internet. So, I uninstalled AVG and verified that the computer ran fine while connected to the internet. I then reinstalled AVG, thinking I had solved the problem.
Now the BSOD appears as soon as I log into Windows (same as last time). Except this time, it appears even though I have again uninstalled AVG and disconnected the computer from the internet. It works fine in Safe Mode.

I experience random reboots since a day or two, they happen every hour between 60 and 70 minutes of the last reboot. I already checked the event log and it only says a critical error but no reason identified. I haven't changed anything in the hardware the last couple of months.

My computer has been going through this phase upon restart where it will BSOD around every 30 min for a couple days, then all of a sudden will be fine untill the next restart. I am running a ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium that I have had for about 2 years. I uploaded the latest .dmp file, I can upload more if necessary.

When my system is working, it will occasionally just shut off. No BSOD, no error screen of any sort, just a clean power off. It happens anywhere from twice a day to once every two weeks. My system specs are located below.
When my system is not working, I can't even get Windows 7 to load. It boots, I get the option to repair (which, only the first time, will say it reverted back to a time when everything was working fine) or start normally. If I choose to repair, it restarts, then goes into the infinite loop. It restarts, if I choose repair, it says windows cannot fix the problem, and shuts down. If I choose start normally, it shows the windows loading graphics, but then I get the clean shut down right before I get to the log-in screen (don't actually ever see it).
How does it go from the first scenario to the second scenario? Well, I think its Microsoft Office. Every time I try to install it (sometimes successfully), I eventually start to have these start-up problems. But I can't be certain, I just downloaded a fresh install file today to make sure it wasn't my DVD. There are so many more details that may or may not be important, but I'll spare them for the time being.
This is a home-built computer. It should be noted that I've had this problem mostly through the life of this system (15 months), and have replaced the power supply, the RAM, and the SSD that the OS is installed on.
P55A-UD4P Motherboard
Intel i7 870 CPU
16GB Kingston 1600 RAM
OCZ Agility3 120GB USB 3.0 SSD
OCZ Agility2 60GB USB 2.0 SSD (Used for my Star Wars install)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB
Corsair GS700 PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional
I realize the shut downs sounds like a overheating issue. I wish I could go check the temperatures to let you know what it idles at, but my computer won't turn on. However, I play Star Wars: TOR at max settings and have never had a shut-down happen during that time.
I know this is a shot in the dark, but I don't know enough to narrow the problem down. It honestly makes me want to go buy a pre-built because I feel like the problem is my choice of components or some type of incompatibility.

I recently formatted my main drive (upgrading from Vista to Win. 7), and it worked perfectly.It asked to install some updates, including my graphics card and everything else.Then it restarted, and updated a few registry settings ( I think somewhere around 5600-56000, alot more than a few lol), and it black screened when it came to the login screen. I tried logging in, and I could hear the sounds and everything else, so I think it's the graphics card that's the problem.I tried booting into safe mode and uninstalling/reinstalling the graphics driver, but it still black screened.I checked almost every other topic about this, and I tried everything but it didn't work, but i'm still open to more common suggestions.
Right now, i'm just running on the on-board graphics in normal boot mode.System Specs:OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bitProcessor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 7Processor Count: 4RAM: 6078 MbGraphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, 1024 MbHard Drives: C: Total - 280139 MB, Free - 253850 MB; D: Total - 420255 MB, Free - 420153 MB;Motherboard: Acer, EG45MAntivirus: None, I will be adding Kaspersky later.

My laptop just crashes randomly when I'm using it. It's frustrating, and it costs me a lot of time. When it's booting my keyboard becomes unresponsive so I have to wait for the countdown to run out (can't just hit enter into boot normally). Sorry for requesting help as this is my first post, but I'm really getting annoyed at this. It's been going on for quite some time.If you guys can solve this problem,. If there is any other information you guys need,Might be helpful to note that I never had this many bluescreens ever. I bought this laptop 2 years ago and it's been performing fine until about 5 weeks ago. I get about 3 bluescreens per day right now.I am also experiencing a slowdown issue when my computer boots up. Sometimes the mouse just kinda.. i'm not sure how to describe it. It becomes really laggy, and I guess if you were playing a video game it'd be like my framerate dropping to about 8 fps. Every time I click there's a beep, and every time I move my mouse there is a series of beeps.

I have a problem with 2 Windows computers located in 2 separate locations. When I login the computer will run for 1-3 minutes and then freezes for 8-20 minutes. After it returns from it's nap everything runs normally.
I have been told that their is no malware on the computer, see this topic --[URL]
when I first reported this on the Windows 7 forum about a month ago the freeze was 7-8 minutes, last time I rebooted and logged in it froze for 20 minutes.

I have a relatively new Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit install. This is a domain account, so I have to do ctrl+alt+del to login. After entering my password, the welcome notice comes up (with the spinning circle), and it takes quite a while for the desktop to appear. It can be as long as a couple of minutes. This is a pretty fast rig (i5 2500K/GA-Z68X-UD3H/F312800CL8D-8GBXM) and when I first set it up it, my desktop appeared about 10 seconds after hitting the power button, including login.
Is the use of the domain account the likely cause of the delay, or could this be something else like automatic update? I'm not sure how I would go about finding out.

I just got Windows 7 home premium. I can't figure what to do. I start windows and as long as I am using it stays open. But if I do nothing for about 2 min. It goes back to where I sign in to Windows again. Then I have to enter my password again,to get back in to Windows again. There must be a setting for this, but I can't find it.

Not sure whats going on at first I thought maybe had some malware hidden so a ran an eset scan AND a malwarebytes scan, neither found anything. Usually it would take about 20 seconds or so from the time I turn it on to the log in screen. Now sometimes I'll turn it on and it will stay at the loading windows screen sometimes a couple minutes to 5 mins then make its way to the log in screen.

I currently have it set to turn off my displays at 3 minutes of inactivity, and put the computer to sleep after 10 minutes.Sometimes, the displays won't turn off after 3 minutes, but it will then put the computer to sleep after 10 minutes while the displays are still on. More often, it will turn the displays off, but won't ever put the computer to sleep.Why wouldn't the computer go to sleep?Wouldn't any activity turn the displays back on? And so if they don't come back on, why wouldn't it go to sleep?why wouldn't the displays turn off, and then it goes to sleep?

There's nothing wrong with my computer that I know of, just noticing these black flashes for some time now and thought I would finally seek information on why this could be happening. It happens everytime I turn on my computer, two black screen flashes at the login screen and another black flash in the main menu screen right after logging in.
p.s.
2x flash at the login screen
1x flash at main menu screen

I have a Microsoft Intellipoint 2000 usb mouse that has been working flawlessly for about 8 months, and a windows 7 laptop 64 bit. Recently however, the mouse would work at the login screen, but after I would login, it would stop working. Its drivers are up-to-date. It seems as though something changed recently that disables it after login, and if I reconnect it I sometimes get Error Code 43, and it says it is not recognized, then again, sometimes it will work flawlessly, until i put my computer to sleep.

I have a little problem with my laptop here, I am using Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit and everytime I reboot, nothing saves at all. This is quite annoying since I downloaded a 14GB game and it just vanished after reboot, now I got to download it again. I know there is a way to disable this thing, but I can't figure it out

i have had windows 7 64bit version installed for a couple months on my pc, and these 2 days it's kept rebooting. it goes off (no shut down message, it all happens all of a sudden), and after a second or 2 the machine boots up again. before loading the os the pc prompts me to choose if i want to start windows normally. i press enter and windows starts up with no problems at all. when a system error occurs, after rebooting it usually notifies me that the system was recovered from an error. but it displays no message.
now, my question is this. i heard that before the coming out of the windows seven final version, microsoft would have you install an update that reboots your machine every 2 hrs to "suggest" people buying the os... how kind of them, really... whatever, is this possibly the case? if this is, i guess i gonna downgrade to windows vista till i can buy windows 7.

I have a desktop computer AMD 3.0 ghz dual core processor, 4gb ram, win7 ultimate(legit), 1 TB HDD(new) and an asus m2n-mx se plus motherboard. every time I turn my machine on, it goes through the POST and finishes boot up sequences and then start to load windows. Some times it finishes and I get to my desktop while other times It reboots only seconds into the win7 loading procedures. this has happened for quite a while and I am beside myself for an answer. I have even flashed the ROM to update that. I have unhooked all drives except for one. I have even unhooked the DVD drive to eliminate that. still the problem is here. the only thing that I havent replaced yet is the motherboard, which I may do and get another video card and run dual video cards but I need this gremlin gone.

while I'm surfing the web or playing games and whatnot... My computer just reboots all of a sudden. And not just once, but once it reboots, it reboots again several times before I manage to log in or sometimes after I log in but not even get to the Desktop, or it halts completely when the windows Symbol appears (The one with the four dots which turn into a flag or something) so I have to turn it off by keeping the power button pressed. Also, the reboots are usually accompanied by a screeching sound.
