Windows 7 64bit Spontaneous Power-off?
Dec 1, 2012
ASUS G50V, shutting off randomly anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes. Seemed like a OS problem, fresh install of windows, seemed ok for awhile started doing it again, i think its a windows update causing the problem.Still happens in safe mode, ran msconfig and turned off half of the services, been running 2 hours with out shutdown, pretty sure i ruled out hardware failure, event viwer log didnt say much just code 6008 windows shut down unexpectedly.

After a clean install about 10 days ago, my PC has had 4 spontaneous reboots in the last couple of hours or so!
No updates installed since Nov 30, no new software, no new hardware!
If it reboots again tomorrow, I'm doing another clean install!

My PC rebooted itself this morning. I wasn't using it at the time so I don't know what triggered it. The event log shows no error and there was no software update responsible as far as I can determine. To make things more complicated the time/date on the system clock was August 2009. All of installed software was reporting itself as "new" looking for configuration "on first use". Once I spotted this and updated the time everything went back to normal. In all my years on PC's I have never seen this.

I am running Windows 7 RC on an iMac 24 inch through boot camp. I've been running for months with no issues.
Recently, I've been having almost daily spontaneous reboots. With the event log saying "The driver detected a controller error on deviceharddiskdr1." It's event 11, Disk
There are 3-4 errors within a minute of each other, and then a reboot. I can post the event data or binary data if necssary. I'm clueless at what any of this means. I have multiple HDs and paritions hooked up, if that helps.

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 2528[CODE]I tried startup repair and it failed with an error (I'll check for an error code when I get back and update). I decided to simply reinstall Windows 7 as since I installed it I only installed Google Chrome and iTunes since the install, so I wasn't bothered about losing anything. I booted with the disk and when it came to choosing a partition to install to, none showed up. I went into Safe Mode and everything works fine. Whenever I try to boot normally, though, it fails. dditional InformationOn startup, at the point in time you press F2 to enter BIOS, etc., there are several uneven jagged red lines across the screen - perhaps a graphics card issue?Also, I used to have Linux Ubuntu installed in a secondary partition in dual-boot when I had Windows Vista. I uninstalled that many months ago, but the option for it still shows up on boot as I, embarassingly enough, don't know how to get rid of it.

I've done a lot of searches using variations of the above title and came up empty or just plain missed the answer.I'd like to know, if it is not asking too much, the following points:
1. What exactly is the function of Link State Power Management in the Power Options Advanced Settings, PCI Express?
2. What are the implications of using the options available:
a) Off.
b) Maximum power savings.
c) Moderate power savings.
d) Which option is the best selection for my Dell laptop.

I use my PC for audio production and I have a few external controller devices that are USB powered, for example a midi keyboard. I recently had to build PC due to a theft....long story short after building the new PC I've noticed that my USB buses have continual power to these external devices after I've powered down the PC. My old windows 7 PC did not do this. Is there a setting I can change to shut off power to the USB buses when I power off the PC? Or is this a hardware issue?

i've tried to set the option for pressing the power button to 'Do Nothing' so no body can shut the computer, and yet it shuts down by pressing the button, so why is that and how can i work this out?

Over the past 2 years my PC has been afflicted with random power off/power on/reboot events.It will go for months without these and then have multiples of the events in a day. (I had 8 of them 3 days ago.)I assume I have a hardware problem, but nothing has been found and I'm grasping at straws.The time between power off and power on is several seconds.I had assumed this rules out a software cause, but maybe I'm wrong. I know Windows can schedule a power off, but can it tell BIOS (or something) to power back on in a few seconds?I know blaming the power supply is a much more simple explanation, but then I'm left with explaining the intermittent nature of the failure.

My computer wouldn't shut down, even with holding in the power button, and so I just let it run out the battery. Then it wont turn on. I tried holding down the power button to clear out any charge that might be remaining. I have managed to get it back on, but I have to make a connection at the clip where you plug the power button ribbon into the mobo. Also, this is the second time I have had to do this. The computer works fine afterwards...or seems to anyway.

Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't work with Outlook 2010 if installed as 64 bit. Microsoft says to "fix" this by uninstalling Office 2010 and installing the 32 bit version!My question is are there any 3rd-party sync programs that will work with Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft Office Outlook 64 bit and Windows Mobile 6.5 devices? I don't need to sync email but I do need to sync calendar, contacts, and tasks. And yes, I am aware that the iphone will sync with it! Silly Microsoft. I have 1.5 years left on my mobile contract with my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?

My computer got the BootMGR is missing problem, which I have had in the past which is not that big. I insert the Windows 7 64 Ultimate disk it starts up everything fine, press repair my computer and it finds the installation. But when I press on it and next it has an error pop up saying "This version of system recovery options is not conpattble with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that i compatible with this version of Windows." If I dont select anything but press next it allows me to look at the screen Im supposed to, but if I go to command prompt or click autmatically repair nothing will be saved or changed. This is the same disc I installed Windows with and repaired it several times. But I did have to reset BIOS earlier so this may have affected something.

how to add the "Dim the Display" feature to a desktop?
I found a utility called "Pangolin Screen Brightness" that allows you to do it manually, so I know it's possible, but can't find anything that can add that option to the power settings.

Problem is in the title thread. Windows turns off, screen goes into power saving mode, but lights are still on and fans are still whirling. When I try to turn it off in save mode, it freezes on "shutting down computer".It will restart although it takes ~30 seconds to do so.Problem started last Friday. I haven't installed any new hardware since Wednesday, when I installed my HDD. I might have updated a driver, but I can't recall.I've reset the BIOS back to original settings also, but that's had no luck.

I have both Windows Vista and Windows 7 on the same PC. I run a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and both Vista 64 and 32 bit. The problem is that no matter what mouse I choose to use on Windows 7, shortly after using the system for at least an hour I either have pointer problems or battery problems. I use the same mouse on Vista and it can go months without an issue with the batteries going low. I have used othe mice but I am used to using the MS Intellipoint. On both O/S's I have the latest drivers and where the MS system gives you a leaway on usage on the changing of batteries the Win 7 system gives you hardly any recovery time before replacing the second battery. I use mainly photographic and artware programs so The issue is lagely to do with the workspace management in windows. Power seems to be a high wastage on win 7 whereas win Vista just takes its time to boot in. The driver database in both Win 7 and Vista seems to be identical about the only difference I can find is in coordinate checksum amalgamation on a 64 bit datalog. Something needs to be sorted because this is not the ideal selling point for Windows 8. In fact I am even more put off of the newer interface because it seems to be catering for smudgey fingers more than the everyday user whom uses the computer to work for him.

I was among the 1.4 million SDG&E customers that lost power on Sept 8, 2011. At around 10:30PM the power came back on and I attempted to boot up my Win 7 machine (which was on at the time of the outage). It gets through POST, displaying the list of auto detected devices, clears that screen to black and then displays a flashing white caret on the black background and gets stuck there.Any ideas on how to restore without re-installing Win 7 (and everything else)?

I use Performance mode, and set it to NEVER turn off ANYTHING, including the monitor.I hit apply, etc etc.It will hold this setting for a while, then after a reboot, or turning off at night, it loses this setting, and reverts to turn off monitor after 20 minutes.Why is Windows 7 doing this?

I've got two hard drives on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system.They are drives C: (a solid-state drive) and drive D: (a 500GB WD standard drive).After 30 minutes, drive D: powers down to save energy. I've only got a few video files on it - I use it as a media drive. I'll be using the system just fine. When I open up Windows Explorer, and RIGHT-CLICK on any file on drive C: (the solid-state drive), there is a pause while I have to wait for drive D: to power up, and get up to speed (about 8 seconds). Then, the system responds again.My question: Why is this? I'm not looking at any files on D:, why does Windows need to power it back up at all when I am dealing with drive C:?
