Windows 7 Cannot Reboot If Use The Option To Shutdown
Jan 29, 2013
ts a lenovo N585,I cannot shutdown my computer the only option is available is hibernation because when i shut it down and put it back on the only screen i get is a blank screen with my cursor showing nothing else and i have left it like that for hours at a time waiting for it to start back but it never did I took the battery out and put it back in and that was the only time it came back on full swing and i had to wait 3 hrs for it to repair itself because it couldnt start any other way..PLEASE HELP ME, I always have to find ways to speed up my computer because it slows down ever so often and now it cannot even run facebook without sticking?
I've got a problem with shutting down Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit version, I have read through all the posts about windows restarting when shutdown is pressed or the off button is pressed on the desktop PC. I have gone into BIOS and altered the restart in event of system failure, and also done the same on My Computer in advanced settings but none have worked.I have done a check on Microsoft's website to check all the hardware and software too, and the results were all clear. Apart from Adobe Photoshop 3, when I installed this program for some reason I was unable to get an internet connection. And I had to swap my Panda Internet Security for Windows Security Essentials, which I have found out since is better than most of the top brands that you pay for; and it is free to all those people who have got the genuine system from Microsoft.I have all the latest updates for the software and drivers too, also done a full scan of the PC including the two external hard drives that I have connected to the PC.
I have a problem that has been driving me crazy for a while. After a power cut, my pc started booting itself back up again after completely shutting down (2-3 secs) from Windows 7. I'm also running Windows 8 and this shuts down no problem so after months of putting up with it I re-installed Window 7 and the problem disappeared - pc shut down fine and stayed shut down.This was about 2 weeks ago and everything had been fine until another power failure today which has seen the problem return, again only in Windows 7. I have tried everything I have found trawling the forums for others with a similar problem, including disabling wake-on LAN in bios, updating bios, unchecking 'automatic restart' under system failure in startup and recovery options and changing the value of PowerdownAfterShutdown from '0' to '1'/'1' to '0' in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
The effects of the power cuts definitely seem to be causing these symptoms as both times now this problem has started immediately afterwards. I'm also thinking it's something that should be fixable within Windows 7 since Windows 8 still shuts down without any problems. I really don't want to have to do another re-install, especially since the problem is likely to come back the next time the power goes off.
Windows 7 Professional x64 edition is installed on a computer. During the installation, every time it went to restart the system would hang immediately; I had to do a hard reboot to continue the installation.Now Windows 7 is installed, and still hangs on reboot. When I choose Restart, the system shows the shutdown screen, goes black, and hangs. After some time waiting it never reboots and I never see the BIOS screen. However, if I choose "shutdown", it works perfectly.Also, when I force it to reboot, the system does NOT give me the message that it wasn't shut down correctly. I've reinstalled the system twice. All drivers are installed correctly, and Windows is completely up to date. I even updated the BIOS to the current version.
It makes several months am using Windows 7 Professional on my Dell Studio XPS 1640 (it's a 64bit system). It was working fine and I was happy with it. It makes some weeks now that after each time I shut down, when I turn on again, it boots up to where the 4 coloured logo appears and then am left with a dark screen with only the cursor. I once waited for nearly 1 hour, nothing changed. The users screen never appeared.
I had to turn off manually, and when I turn it on again, it tell me that windows failed to restart.... and am left with these 2 options: >start Windows Normally(I went back to square 1 when I tried this) >Startup Repair.
The automatic system repair did not find any problem, I had to use the system recovery for which I had to choose a previous date in time to which I want the computer to reboot. Some times it works, sometimes I have to do it again and change the date.
When I hibernate the laptop, there is no problem when I turn it on again. But when I shut down or restart the laptop, it boots up to the "starting windows" screen with the windows logo and I have to turn it off manually.
It is causing me a lot of problem, I cannot install any program, each time I have to reinstall my printer.
I have a workstation that when shutting down, displays the force shutdown option. I know why the message appears but I do not want others to have the ability to force the shutdown. We have a SQL operation running and when the shutdown is forced it corupts the database. How can i disable the force shutdown screen so the user does not have the option.
i want people to prevent to shutdown there pc.. But not restart or standby mode.. Is there a way to only remove the shutdown button instead of everything? like the tweak on this forum.
I would use the pc and sometimes it would randomly shutdown unexpectedly then the pc would turn back on.This issue happens randomly and not often but randomly it would occur.
When I run the Display Color Calibration to alter the gamma cos it is too bright for me, It resets after any reboot or shutdown is there any way to keep the adjusted setting after shutdown/reboot?
I have a ASUS Laptop with Intel I3 processer and Windows 7 Home Premium. I recently had a forced shutdown during a Windows upgrade session. Ever since then the Boot and Shutdown times have increased to over 15 minutes. I have run the msconfig unticking all but the antivirus (Kaspersky) and it still takes >15 min to boot and Shutdown. Is there something I can do before I decide to reinstall Windows &. (I dont have a install disk.) The software came with the Computer and I have the OEM code (Bought at Best Buy)
In my laptop existing OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
Hardware config is HP i7 Quad processor 1.7 GHz. 4 GB DDR3 Ram, 500 GB HDD.
My system perf is slow. I installed few softwares. I have deselected most of the startup services and programs from msconfig. Eventhough my system bootup time is slow, and whenever i open mycomputer it taking time to load.
I have decided to install Windows 7 Enterprise Edition x64 by formatting my C drive. But there is no option while i do clean install.
I have two windows updates that keep failing. When i go to shutdown my computer I always have an update icon attached to the shutdown key. The download is always 1of1. Then when i reboot, the update icon is still there. I'm thinking since the two updates are failing, it has something to do with the 1of1 update not downloading properly. I went to windows update to check for new updates, and the only one is the two that keep failing. My computer just blue screened on shutdown today, winch got me thinking i really need to fix this.
Im not sure if this is in the right category, but I think it could be Windows 7 related.My Powersupply died the other day so I purchased a new one and all was fine, except when I shutdown it either freezes or carries on for what seems like forever.The only thing is that on bootup my DVD Drive and SSD have changed ports so my dvd drive is now device00 and my SSD001.
My computer hard drive crashed a week ago and most of my back-ups went with the system. So, I got a new 500 GB drive and have been re-installing everything from scratch. I started with a clean install of Windows XP (service pack 2), which took forever to get all the up-dates done. Then I upgraded to Windows 7 and did the up-dates for that. I didn't make a recovery disk at this point because I wanted to get everything installed first.Unfortunately, the last time I went to reboot it failed. When I power-up the computer it stalls out on the Dell BIOS screen. I can't get into Safe Mode, Setup, or the Boot Menu because my keyboard and mouses are not working. They are both USB and none of my USB ports are working. (Also, I have not PS/2 ports on my machine.).
I will be shortly replacing my XP PC with a Windows 7 64bit PC. I have years worth of emails stored in Outlook Express. What is the best option to keep using these email folders in Windows 7 64bit? I understand that there is no included email client in Windows 7, so what 3rd party is best?
So I need to repair integral Windows files on my install. On XP this was a trivial matter of booting off the XP install disc and selecting the appropriate option. What I never noticed up until now (since I need the option now) is that MS in their infinite wisdom has removed that option for Windows 7 (and i'm guessing probably 8 as well) and replaced with a start-up repair option which is completely useless for addressing my ultimate issue (wifi gui corruption). any method by which one can conduct an actual repair install on Windows 7?
I am attempting a reinstall on a Toshiba satellite C655, my problem is the DVD/CD player is broken, and when I hook up an external USB DVD player and set boot options to USB, it won't recognize it and bypasses to start up screen. Am I missing something in BIOS?
My wife has a new laptop with Win 7 Home Premium, which I know almost nothing about. When she double clicks a jpg, it opens in Windows Live Photo Gallery, which is apparently just a viewer. I wanted to open one in Irfanview, but when I right click the file, the choice to "Open With" is not available like it is in XP. Where is it?
After installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, I used the option "system image" from Windows. It burned some folders and files on a DVD. Then I begun with try/error to install older software and hardware on Windows 7 or on XP mode to have an idea how this works. Now my windows is a mess. I would like to restore that image to my HD and install only the software/hardware that I learned, will work. Does it work like the Partition Images made with Symantec Ghost or Acronis True Image?
Having problems with and docx files opening within the browser. In XP you would just check the browse in same window option in folder options, file types. However this option no longer exists after XP. Is there a registry setting that controls this? I have seen this issue a couple of times and I have tried the following KB article steps, but the issue still persists.Windows 7 ProfessionalIE8Office 2010 How to configure Internet Explorer to open Office documents in the appropriate Office program instead of in Internet Explorer
My laptop recently just will not start from any boot option I select, it always freezes and when click system restore all that loads is a black screen with a cursor, other than that every other option from the boot menus I select fail too.
I have installed Windows 7 and then I installed Linux on an other partition of the Hard Disk now I wanted to install windows XP for some project work, I removed the linux (ubuntu) and installed the XP on the same partition. The problem is that I am not able to see the option to boot Windows 7.
