Windows 7 Automatic Reboot, Or Power Failure?
Jun 18, 2011
Ok, so I left my PC on last night while it was installing some Windows 7 (x64) updates, via Windows Update. I came back to it this morning at it looks like it had rebooted.I have the PC set for "install updates automatically" (the default setting) I believe this will reboot the PC at around 3am.1) Is there a way to check that the PC rebooted via Windows Update, as opposed to a power bump/outage?2) Would a power bump during Windows Update corrupt Windows 7 somehow? I checked Windows Update and it looks like there are no FAILED updates.

When I stop any windows service using net stop <service name > from command prompt and reboot my machine, then a particular service that is set as automatic by default shouldn't start. Any way to achieve this using batch script or by any other means?

For the past month, every time windows update automatically reboots my computer to finish the updating process, the computer shuts down, fades to black, but then something curious happens. Instead of the BIOS coming up, the screen remains black, and every single fan in my system (GPU, CPU, and 3 other case fans) spin up to full speed and remain there, with the pc never rebooting. I thought this was a BIOS issue, so I updated my BIOS, but this did not fix the issue. All my drivers are updated, and there are no yellow exclamation marks beside any items in Device Manager. My system is running 64 Bit Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1.

Went through the recommendations for upgrading to windows 7 as per instructions on CD. Anything incompatible was removed, uninstalled prior to set-up. On first run through set-up failed, BUT, this was easily rolled back. Not so easy the second time round where there was no option to roll back. On rebooting I could not access any of the software programmes on the pc. Instead I was taken straight to the command screen:
X:$WINDOWS.~BTWindowssystem32>
The only access I have to all my directories is via this screen.I did attempt to a system restore but was asked to identify which system to restore and was unable to do that as I am not very technical.I can, by hitting F8 get to the advanced boot menu, but none of the options listed there function. When selected they take me back to the command screen. If I exit the command screen the pc reboots.Is there any way I can get to restore my previous o/s Vista and then hopefully I can get to do a clean install of windows 7? it currently looks like I am running two opeating systems and windows.

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.

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 live outside US, which means, a power outage from time to time is normal, but when that happens in the middle of a crucial moment is very stressful. I went to the BIOS and turned on the option Restart After Power Failure, though it wasn't what I was looking for. Is there a way to set my Windows 7 to resume my last session (all the programs I was using) after power failure ?

I keep getting a BSOD "driver_power_state_failure" on my windows 7 64 bit homebrew PC. I have attached the minidump file. Does anyone have any idea which driver might be causing the BSOD?

I just received a computer I bought about a week ago, yesterday. Last night, while it was on and downloading files, the power board it was plugged into shut off. Now, it's stuck in an endless loop of failing to boot. It keeps asking me to insert the Windows 7 installation disc and restart. I put the disc in but it stays stuck in the loop and I am unable to do anything. I've managed to get it to go to the system repair setup, but it continued to try to repair the problems for over 6 hours and nothing has happened.

I'm running Windows 7 and whenever I close my laptop my computer crashes and restarts. My settings are set to go to sleep mode when the lid is closed. I ran Blue Screen View and have a Driver Power State Failure. I also ran the SF Diagnostic Tool and attached the results.

So I keep getting the blue screen Power State Failure which I am sure you are all aware of. It's happening a lot to me, and it really needs to go away it's causing my computer to be incredibly slow.

The operating system is 64 bit OEM. The computer is about nine months old (I got it at the end of June). I have not re-installed the operating system nor made any significant changes. Attached is the output from the "BSOD dump and system file collection" executable. I added the system health report to the same folder as the rest of the stuff, under the name "performanceanalysis.html". Let me know if you need any information that is absent from those files.
The BSOD usually occurs when the computer hibernates, restarts, or turns off. The computer will take an exceptionally long amount of time on the "turning off" screen, then the fan will start running loudly and the BSOD appears.

I've been using Windows 7 since it went public, within the last 18 hours I got about 15 BS'sOD. I think the problem had something to do with the fact that I plugged my laptop into a power strip BEFORE turning the power strip on...idk. But whenever I plug in my laptop it takes about 30 seconds for a BSOD to show. I copied a couple down, here they are:
1. 0x0000008E(0xC0000005, 0x8BFAE3D1, 0x91C8DA94, 0x00000000)
2. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x82C5DC91
3. 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x8CBB63D1, 0x8BA84A94, 0x00000000)
KI1.sys - Address 8CBB63D1 base at 8Ca0900 Data Stamp 4911af5e
4. STOP: 0x0000008E ( 0xC0000005, 0x8BDB73D1, 0x8BB8FA94, 0x00000000 )
Kl1.sys - Address 8BDB73D1 base at 8BC0A000, Data Stamp 4911af5e
What I've tried:
Unplugging the power cord. Result: nothing happens but the battery drains so I eventually had to plug back in. Removing the battery. Result: I didn't get a BSOD for about 25 minutes. Using a different power source with battery. Result: Same as with original power source. Using a different power cord. Result: BSOD after 30-45 minutes. Plugging in computer when closed. Result: this works but I can't use the computer.... Currently I'm using 1, 4, and 5.
FYI: I posted a similar message on the Microsoft forum but all they told me was that it was a driver problem...I'd like to know is there anything I can do? and what those bug codes mean.

as stated in the thread title, whenever i play a Internet video on my pc, it powers off. originally i thought it was a problem with the browser or the flash plugin, but after doing some research, i found that it is caused by the video card. something is going wrong, to confirm this, i ran a stress test with atitool, this caused power failure, and then, in order to be absolutely sure i tried to play "team fortress 2" but it crashed at the menu. initial thoughts might be that it is overheating, which i will check, but i doubt that is the problem since i have a quite well ventilated full tower case.

When I remove the power cord of a cpu while working, it often makes windows 7 crashes hard. When that happens, Windows 7 by default makes a system restore. Since we don't want that, we removed this option. Since the system restore has been desactivated, Windows 7 reboot over and over again. I have to reinstall. Sometimes, even the safe mode is not working. This scenario does not happen every time because sometimes Windows 7 succeeds in "getting back" online.

Recently, after a pretty heavy storm we had a power failure. At the time I was using an .exe program ...and I also had firefox operating. When I booted my computer up again neither program would function. I wasn't too bothered about firefox, but the other .exe program is pretty important as I need it for my job. Anyway, I managed to get the .exe program working again by opening it with the Compatibility Wizard and running it as if it was XP. (However it wouldn't permanently "save" in this mode, so had to go through the wizard everytime I had to use it).
Before I "found" the Compatibility Wizard solution, I restored the computer to before the power failure, but this didn't make any difference. Now I have had a second power failure. Once again with the .exe program open. And now it won't open at all, either with the wizard or without it. I reinstalled the program...and it still didn't work. (Although Firefox did when reinstalled). I have done a Registry Repair with RegSofts registry repair software....but still nothing. Now I am "a bit" stuck, to say the least !

I've been experiencing issues with my computer. It tends to blue screen and reads "Driver_POWER_STATE_FAILURE". I've tried to run some scans and diagnostics and even backed up my PC and then rebooted it with factory new settings, but it is still BSOD. I have a dump file, but I cannot post it because it says I do not have permission to open or attach it.

My computer wouldn't start after a power failure during resizing partitions. I tried downloaded and used Repair Disk for Windows 7 64bit, which leads to the relevant screens but after a repeated restart of the system a note "...Interrupted operation: Insert the Recovery CD or other Recovery Media and reboot your PC..." still appears for already couple dozen restarts. I've purchased my Sony Vaio VPC23FX laptop with no additional disks and anything. Should I buy a new copy of Windows 4 Home Premium and start everything from a blank page or are there any other ways to make the computer start properly?

Why doesn't my computer boot up after power failure? The bios is set to boot after power failure. I have to jump start the motherboard to get it to boot. What causes this to happen? Is it a power surge? I can unplug and plug the computer back in and have no problem booting. If I have a power failure, no Boot. The last power failure was a sudden off no "on-Off" fluctuations. I want an explantion so I can prevent it from happening. Is a UPC the only solution?
