When I install my vga driver on my windows 7 on biostar mother board the pc is not shutting down properly i.e the fans keep rotating & after few minutes the pc starts up again. But when i install the same on xp that works perfect. I don't where is the problem exactly.
My mother board-H61MLV2 Ver. 8.0
OS-Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Ram-4GB
Hdd-500gb
No graphics card
I have a dual boot computer running Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC.
I recently built a new computer for my wife and loaded it with just Windows 7 RC pending delivery of the full retail version in October.
Both computers have a similar problem. Sometimes - but not always - after shutting down the computer using the Start>Shut Down button it appears to shut down but has actually gone into a deep sleep with a blank black monitor and will not wake up no matter what keyboard buttons you press. It will also not reboot when you hit the computer power button.
The only way you can switch the computer off is to hold the computer power button down for about 10 seconds - then press it again for a normal reboot.
When my laptops battery reaches critical it will usually hibernate as all of them do. When it's switched back on it'll give you the option to do a system resume. The past 3 times it hasn't though, it has brought up the black screen saying windows didn't shut down properly, and giving me the options to start in safe mode etc.
I have not made any HW changes or installed any new SW or driver The system is on a mild OC of 3.4Ghz Also i am using MSE and Comodo firewall The reliability monitor shows that "Windows was not properly shutdown"
It's all about my friend's PC and it has the following configuration:
[code]...
The first thing i want to do is to buy a new single RAM memory of 2 GB at 800MHz, because personally I think that the RAM is the weak link of the system.The first question is: What is the best combination? To have 3GB of RAM at 667MHz or 2GB at 800MHz.Now with the currently configuration (1GB at 667MHz) the level of used RAM memory in idle is 75%.The other problem is that every time when the PC is shutting down, the green light turns off and the red one is blinking very fast, giving you the impression that it's always lit; and the red light intensity is very low; (it emits less light). The PC has 2 coolers (one for CPU and other to the power source ...and the VGA doesn't have a cooler) and when the PC is shutting down the phenomenon with the lights happens and one of the coolers will never stop (i don't know which of them).the red light is blinking very fast at low light intensity and a cooler is on.and those will never end up until you will press the shut down button for a few seconds.The system was configured (installed the OS and the other programs)... by a guy with knowledge and he said that this happens because of the newer OS installed. (Windows 7).This problem doesn't appear when restarting the PC.It appears only when the system is shutting down.The second question is: Can the small capacity of RAM (1GB) lead to this phenomenon?
I am having an issue with windows 7 64bit. Every time i am done using the pc, it will randomly shut down, at different times. I have no clue what the issue is. I do not have a heat problem , nor PSU problem. When I am on the computer, whether it is 20 mins or 4 hours, no problems, but when I am done using it, and nothing is being used, it will just shutdown.
my computer started to shutting down by itself a few days ago. It will shut down just from turning it on, sometime a few minute while its on, and even a hour later. One time, it shut down by itself but the PSU is still running. [code]
i have a windows 7 laptop, and i'll be either working on a document or trying to upload an edited video to Internet when my computer inexplicably shuts down - taking with it all my hard work. i've run malwarebytes antimalware and it finds nothing. i also installed a norton security suite from comcast recently, so i don't know if that has something to do with it.
I have a non-tech friend whose windows 7 machine has started shutting down as soon as he signs in. I have used combofix previously but he cannot get windows up long enough to run it in normal node. I had him boot into safe mode and checked out msconfig and the registry to see if anything was hung out there. I don't have any other options other than running combofix in safemode but I understand that is possibly problematic.
I've been having this problem where my Internet shuts off about 1 or 2 minutes after I open my browser. Its not a problem with my Internet connection (I have a 5bar connection) and I can use my I-pad on the internet with no problem. Im wondering what's wrong and how I can fix it.
it is a week or so that I have a problem with my PC.When I shut down the PC, instead of turning off, he restart.Before restarting, for a brief moment I can see a BSOD screen, but I cannot read it.After the PC restart, I see a small window telling me that the PC was restored due to an error. [code] A week and a half ago, I installed two add-on cards ( a PCI USB card and a PCIE USB 3.0 card), and with the PCI I has troubles to make it run, so I uninstalled it and I sent it back to the store.With the USB 3.0 instead everything was fine.I dont know if this is related to the problem I have right now.
My problem is when I shut my pc down I get a BSOD which says physical memory dump with error 0x000000 (thats all I seen, sorry) and then my pc restarts. It happens sometimes but this morning it happened when I was on my Google chrome. I have cleaned my registry, defragged my hd, ran my anti virus. I even bought new RAM because im a newbie to problem solvering crashes.
today my pc has randomly shutted itself down 4times. first 2 happened when i was on Internet, and the last 2 when playing, minecraft and dungeon defenders! anyway, had this for ages and no problems. today the crashing started, it says nothing. it just shuts itself down. i tried looking at windows logs but found nothing.
specs:
os: microsoft windows 7 home premium 64-bit 7601 multiprocessor free service pack cpu: amd athlon(tm) ii x3 425 processor motherboard: pegatron corporation - violet6 ram: 6gb.
it might be because of overheating. its 10+ hours a day on and its summer and freaking hot, i don't know
I just installed Windows 7 Professional 32bit Operating System on my computer and I will have it logged out but not shutdown when I leave work on Friday but when I return to work on Monday it is mysteriously shutdown. I have checked the power settings in the Control Panel and everything is set to never turn off. Iam not sure where to go or what to check from here
my PC recently started to get stuck shutting down and I have to use the reset botton a couple of times and then it shuts down normally.I recover it from a early date and it work OK for a couple of days but it is back doing the samething again.

I'm using Acer Aspire 5742g (if i not mistaken) with WIN7 now...but recently my lappy keep shut down by itself..at first(a few days before it happen),it keep telling that "Dekstop Window Manger has stopped working" but when I ask my friend he said it wont make that effect to my lappy..he said it maybe because of overheating but sometimes my lappy can on for a long time but i have to on & on it again & again..I try to repair my windows but unfortunately,i cant do that because it will keep shudown by itself....when I check Device Manager,i detect that Intel(R) Management Engine cannot start..
here is a real head scratcher for you guys. My system will on occassion just shutdown. Its not a hard shutdown, it goes thru the normal Windows 7 shutdown process as if I had told it to shut down. I can boot it right back up, and all is well, nothing out of the ordinary. I checked out the event viewer and the only thing in there before this happened is an error with "Event ID: 36888" and it gives this as a description "The following fatal alert was generated: 70. The internal error state is 105". I have no clue what is going on. It has not done this while I was actually using it, it has always happened while I was away from it.
i just finished building my PC and got windows 7 installed on my 32gb ssd. I then installed all the drivers etc, for the mobo, gpu, wireless card. So everything seems to be working fine but when i click start and shut down, the shut down has the shield logo thing next to it for updates and when i click on shutdown it says theres 92 updates. So i waited for it to install them and when its done it configures them and windows comes back up. But then when i go to shutdown again it still says theres 92 updates to install and does it all again.
I've recently build a gaming computer in the beginning of December. For the first three weeks, everything was working fine. By that, I mean that my computer can shut down properly. Now, what happens is that whenever I shut down my computer (or most of the time), the screen is either frozen on "shutting down", or the screen says "shutting down" but it doesn't actually shuts down. It just keeps loading and roughly 5 minutes later, it restarts.
I've tried reformatting my computer and performing a clean boot, but this problem keeps on occurring. I don't know what could possibly be causing this problem. indows 7 home premium 64-bit Motherboard: gigabyte z77x-ud3h ram: kingston hyperx 8gb 1600mhz processor: intel i5 3570k graphic card: evga gtx 560 ti superclocekd power supply: thermaltake tr2 rx 750w bronze hard drive: WD caviar black 1tb
Not sure if its relevant, but I was using a friend's ram stick before (kingston 8gb 1333mhz). It was about after I got my own ram stick, the kingston hyperx, that this problem started to occur. Also, I am not and have not overclocked my computer.
A few days (probably about 3) ago, I installed StarStaX. I'm a photographer, and I also have Lightroom and Photoshop Cs5 installed on my computer. Early in the day, it was totally fine, but then, my mouse gave out. It's a real piece of junk that you had to plug in and unplug to get working every time you'd restart the computer, (but it was USB, so no worries). Fortunately, I have a Wacom Tablet that I could use instead. However, when shortly after I started using the tablet, as soon as I opened StarStaX it would shut down saying the program had stopped working, even though it had been fine that morning. I tried opening it back up several times but the same thing happened. So I tried the old mouse again, which still wasn't working. An error message stating that an "unknown USB device" was connected to the computer started showing up for the first time. Anyways, to get StarStaX to load, I had to shut down Photoshop (and possibly Lightroom) and even then it was still iffy. Not long after, once I was done stacking photos, Lightroom began displaying the same shutdown message, most often if I went to change the color temperature of photo (so just a slider) or if I went to edit in Photoshop. Previously, these programs had run very quickly, even with several other programs like iTunes or Photomatix running. Now even Photoshop usually has to be the only one running or it will end immediately. So, I installed CCleaner, (I have no internet on the described computer so I had to carry it over via a Flash Drive), and deleted a lot of junk. I also took off some programs I know for sure I wouldn't use. When it still wasn't working, I ran Error Check on the C Drive (I think that's how you say it), and it still will not work. After this, on the advice of another user, I downloaded a program called Advanced SystemCare but that did not work.I am unsure as to what could be causing this problem, so sorry if it would be more appropriate elsewhere. It is not connected to the internet, so I don't think it's a virus, but I am unsure.Here's the specs on my computer according to SysInfo:

I have a problem with my win 7 computer randomly shutting down. I experienced overheating from graphic card and CPU or a bad HDD where the computer would just freeze and shut down (from my other computers), but this one shuts down as if I clicked on 'shut down' button on my start tab.
It closes my open applications first then shows 'logging off' screen to 'shutting down' screen and than shuts down. This happens pretty randomly. I use this computer mainly for web surfing and watching videos. I never use it for gaming. Sometimes it would shut down within 5 minute of usage and some other times it would not shut down at all for hours.
Its a HP compaq machine with 2.7ghz AMD Sempron, 2GB SDRAM, and Window 7 home premium 64bit. I added a Radeon HD X1300 graphic card and been using it for about 2 years without problem.
I ran all diagnostic programs and ran Malwarebyte AntiMalware and Microsoft Security Essential and found no problem. CPUID HWmonitor showed all components were around 30-45 degrees. My only guess left is the power supply.
