Restarts When Using PC After Long Idle Time

Apr 15, 2011

I've had this issue for about three weeks now and I really don't know what could it be causing it. Almost every day after getting back to my PC after school/in the morning, when I use it, it would restart within the next 5 minutes, sometimes twice in a row in a 5 minute interval. And then not anymore.At first I thought my computer was overheating, so I downloaded Core Temp and it says my cores are most of the time in the 40-50 degrees range. Now I realize this might be on the higher side (is it?).

Windows 7 Long IDLE Time On Booting Process?

Nov 24, 2010

I have a problem with my computer that I cannot fix, I recently bought the AverTV Capture HD and plugged it into 1 of my free pci-express slots.Now my computer takes like 20 extra seconds to boot to desktop, I replaced the card to another PCI-Express slot but the problem persists, when I remove the card it boots like before, with no IDLE.My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-x58-UD5, latest Bios, latest drivers etc...I don't know if it's the card or maybe the motherboard or just Windows 7.This is a Winbootinfo screen to show you the IDLE time between the bios screen-Windows 7 booting screen and @desktop.

Recycling A Movie From Harddrive Is Taking Long Long Time?

Nov 8, 2011

Why is this. Like 10 minutes plus and it still says recycling. It should only take a second. Is it bad to let it continue at its own pace or should I restart the PC and try it again?

Shutdown After Idle Time Period?

Dec 28, 2011

I have a rig I use occasionally, as HTPC and occasional mule work, file service, etc.I would like to not have it simply sleep when I have left it running and not returned, but rather have it shutdown properly.Is there a way to do this within Windows 7 controls, or is there an aftermarket, shareware, or scripting way to do so?

Limit Idle Time Of Switched Users?

Nov 8, 2012

how to log out users that are idle on Windows 7? I work for a company that has computers in general areas, anyone can walk up and login and use it for business. Many of my users don't log off and later when they change their password these machines lock out their AD accounts. I was thinking that we could use the group policies that are used for terminal services to log out after being idle for x amount of time.

Boot Time Is Quite Long?

Aug 21, 2012

got Windows 7 up and runnin�for a while now , but I am noticing that my boot time is quite long, at least, that how it feels to me. I�ve got a pretty strong laptop, so 80 seconds or even 2 minutes at a certain point to boot up seems strange, right? And this is when I've got almost no software installed, it's still mostly a clean laptophen I did the clean install, I had to convert the disk from GPT to MBR,otherwise I could not have installed Windows. Is it because this conversion that my boot time has increased? My laptop supports UEFI, and UEFI needs GPT in order to work.

Long Time Booting Up

Dec 12, 2009

I'm having problem with Windows 7 on my laptop. I had beta version up to recently because I didn't use it much, but few days ago I decided to install retail version which I also have on my PC, so I know that dvd works.

It's 64bit(beta version was too) and my laptop can handle it. MSI Gx620.

Now problem is, when I install it all goes well, but then it gets to Loading Windows screen, with 4 part logo that flashes and just stands there, for like 20 minutes. And then boots up and all is fine! In beta version I didn't have that problem.

I tried booting up in safe mode and it was stuck again for long time on this thing: CLASSPNP.SYS

I did full format and fresh install every time. I tested 2 Vista's I had, 1 worked fine, the other one had same problem.

I tried repair and it was doing it for very very long time and finnaly said that it cant be done automatic and check online with this in details:

Problem signature:
Problem Event name : StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 0
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 1
Problem Signature 07: NoRootCause
POS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

At event viewer it says like 4.20 windows start up, 4:30 starts loading some applications. and 10 min gap between it.

I am going to try to update bios with newest version from site as soon as I manage to boot from USB, for some reason it won't boot up(says missing ntldr) and will post if that fixes it.

Please tell me what to do or try, maybe if it hardware fault I can send it back to service to get it fixed but first gotta find out whats the problem.

PC Seems To Take A Long Time To Restart

Aug 28, 2012

1. I am getting a 'searchplugin' folder on my desktop all the time aswell as some admin folders that are completely empty. I can delete them but is there anyway to permanetly stop this? I've heard it can be to do with the internet browser you use? And I do have some stupid internet browsers that arn't Google but is that the problem?

2. My PC seems to take a long time to restart (Not boot, but when I click restart for an update to kick in or something). Sometimes it takes a matter of seconds, sometimes it's quite a bit longer. But if I then hold the power button and then restart the PC manually it's quick booting up. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

3. My PC doesn't actually come out of sleep mode. I'm hving the problem that when I try to wake the PC up nothing happens. I'v set the mouse to wake it up but nothing. The weird thing is the PC starts to boot up (coming out of sleep) but then just powers down again. This continues until I hold the power button down and turn it back on. Now, I've turned sleep off and it's fine but I'd like to know if there is a way to solve this for future reference.

PC Responds To Nothing For Unspecified Amount Of Time When Left Idle

Jan 30, 2013

I am having an annoying problem on my notebook. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. My specs are;

Sony Vaio E series notebook
M460 CPU
8 Gb Ram
120 Gb Sandisk SSD
ATI HD 5650
An external 5.1 Creative sound card (USB)
And a 2TB 3.5" hard drive constantly hooked up.

My problem is, I leave the computer on its own for some time, while browser, music/video player, e-mail client vs. normal applications are running, because I need to go outside or due to any reason. When I get back after some time, I press a button to active the screen (I do not use any sleep or hibernation mode, or HDD switch off timeout. My PC constantly works), I get the screen but after a few seconds my pc freezes. The mouse also. It responds to nothing for an unspecified amount of time. I press buttons, move the cursor, try to click things but the screen just freezes. After some time (which varies in every freeze like this) my notebook starts to respond and act normal.

Interesting thing is, during a freeze I press the Windows button, and when the freeze is over, the notebook jumps up the start menu. It's like it freezes but also records the given commands during freeze. I tried setting an animated screensaver, but no difference. I return to the notebook, I press a key and it freezes again. The freezes go on or varied times, from 30 seconds to several minutes. Another interesting thing is when I leave a torrent program on, I don't encounter such freeze. It also happened right after a clean Windows restore.

Some Processes Take A Long Time To Close?

Aug 30, 2011

Not sure if I'm using proper terminology here, but sometimes I'll close a program and quikcly open it again and the program will be non-responsive. It usually happens when I close a video player to start a new video, or close a browser to open up a fresh collection of tabs (or just to close it because some of the currently open tabs are being buggy) noticed that when I Control-Alt-Delete, the appliactions list is clean, but the program I was running is still listed under "Processes". And sometimes it takes so long to go away I have to force it closed myself. I'm not sure how normal this is, or if it's a sign of an unhealthy computer

Computer Delaying For Long Time When Doing Anything

May 28, 2011

Whenever I want to install a program, my computer takes forever to show the window that guides you through the installation.For example, I download Firefox, Double-click the .exe installation package and then nothing happens for literally 4 or 5 minutes. Eventually the wizard installation window will open and allow me to install by clicking Next etc. But why is there such a delay for the setup window to initially appear. My computer never did this when it was brand new.

Taking Too Long Time To Reboot

Aug 16, 2009

I have downloaded the newest RTM 32bit Windoows 7 from Microsoft MSDN and tried to install it on my Celeron 2 Duo 64bit system.. Now when I boot the computer up the Windows logo comes, and then it stays there for 20+ minutes before the system is booted up..

I have tried with other versions of Windows 7 32bit also, but its the same everytime.. Is this because I absolutly need to install a 64bit version? I remember that I once had 32bit Vista on another 64bit system and that worked fine...

Anyone experienced this before?

It Is Taking Long Time To Install

Jul 17, 2010

so my problem is that the installation of Windows 7 Ultimate takes way longer than expected to install. So far I've botten to about 80% on "Expanding files" after about 7 hours. My specs is in my profile, unfortunatly I can't be n�rd precise at this moment, as I havet no possibility of checking while installation is on, but the Microsoft Upgrade Advisor (or what the name was) told me it was good enough to run Windows 7 in both 32 and 64bit. The copy I'm installing is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Swedish DVD), bought packaged with both 32bit and 64bit DVDs. I'll copy the pre-made questions for installation problems under here, with as accurate info as possible.

PC Lags After Using Browser For A Long Time

Sep 4, 2011

I am facing this strange problem ever since I upgraded my PC. After using any web browser (I have tested IE8, FF4, FF5, FF6, Chrome 12, Opera 10) my PC starts becoming laggy, visually. Even the browser shows visible changes like the animation when opening a new tab, menu fade outs etc. Is it because of running 32 bit browser on a 64 bit OS??? I do doubt that though...

Jun 3, 2011

I decided to try out the backup feature. Over 2 hours ago I started the backup and it is only 32% complete. This seems like a long time to me. I created a disk image of the same data earlier today and it was done in considerably less than 2 hours.

Additional details: Around 160 GB of data. Data is uncompressed.

Laptop Restarts 50% Of Time When Power Cord Comes Out

Feb 25, 2012

I have had this issue for a while with my Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop. It is a guess, but i'd say 5/10 times the power cord comes out of the laptop (for whatever reason - moving it etc) then the laptop will simply black screen and instantly restart and boot up again without an error message or any information as to why. This doesn't make any sense to me because every time I do have the battery pack inserted into the laptop and over 30% battery life (this is when ill plug the charger in).

I use AVAST antivirus.

Suddenly Taking A Long Time To Download?

Nov 2, 2012

For the last few days, when I try to manually update definitions of MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware, the downloads are taking an agonizingly long time when before they were almost instantaneous. Same when I try to play the games on Lumosity - they seem longer to display. Scans with MSSE, SAS and MWB show nothing suspicious. Anyone aware of any problems with these programs, or is it my computer?
