Slow System Hdd Performance After A Unexpected Shutdown
Mar 5, 2012
This is something I have seen occur multiple times in 17 years of using windows, after a unexpected shutdown windows i/o performance slows right down and I still dont have the answer to it.
Today I accidently cut the power to my pc, so windows didnt crash it just lost power.
Windows took about twice as long to boot. After it had booted the system hdd was very busy doing I dont know why (wasnt superfetch or virus scanning). The i/o was used by the system process. Outlook took a looooong time to open. it then also took a very long time to close deleting the deleted emails which are usually way faster. Internet explorer took about 2 minutes to restore crashed tabs which was massive disk i/o. Opening tiny apps where the hdd light either flashes very briefly or doesnt come on at all have a noticeable 1-2 sec delay with the light on solid.
I expect after a manual defrag things will be back to normal. Dos all the prefetch data get trashed on a unexpected shutdown or something?
Doing clean install for Windows-7 64bit but over 3/4 of the way through while in "completing installation" phase computer shuts off completely. Before turning off gives error msg "... windows has encountered problem and could not complete the installation..". Have Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L v2.0 motherboard/ 4GB GSkill RAM/Intel-e8400 processor. Wondering if it's hardware driver issues or BIOS problem.Tried turning off all peripherals in BIOS but no success.
I'm very tired of seeing this message booting me to desktop just to ask me if I want to change the color scheme because it perceives my computer is running slow. Load up Batman AC? 10 minutes in focus changes from said full-screen app to this completely unnecessary 'warning'. Battlefield 3? Same thing. Assassin's Creed? Same thing. Skyrim? Same thing.... I don't need Windows to tell me that my resources are being used when I know they are being used. Am I really going to have to go into Properties and Compatibility mode for every game I play? I have clicked that button so many times yet it continues to show! It specifically says "Keep the current color scheme and don't show this message again" Yet even after clicking said button it still shows...
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.
Today i am surfing internet and suddenly a screen comes (i couldn't read it because it was for just 2 or 3 sec) and then windows restart in safe mode.This has happened to For 3 times in 2 days attaching the files.
I have a laptop, running Win 7, that has worked fine for well over a year. All of a sudden, it won't run for more than about 10 minutes before it randomly shuts down and restarts. Here's the error log that popped up last time it did this:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:BlueScreen OS Version:6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID:1033
Whenever I start to play any game (even the needless ones) everything is all right. After some time (usually 10-30 min.) my computer shutdown I mean, screen is completely blank, but main brain is still working. What the heck is wrong with it?

This never happened before. I just had Google Chrome (5 tabs) and Microsoft Office running before this happened. Sometimes the computer freezes, but I'm getting some new RAM in soon.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 with 4 gig RAM and 64 bit system. When I restart my computer, it tends to take it around 5 to 10 minutes to actually shut down. It sits at the screen saying shutting down, and eventually does but when it starts up, it also tends to take a bit longer than normal and then windows browser gives me an error and restarts itself and then tells me that there was an unexpected shutdown. I've tried glancing for issues to no avail. I've also noticed that sometimes my USB ports stop recognizing devices but usually comes back upon restart. I've tried updating drivers but everything seems to be up to date from what I've seen. I use McAfee antivirus software which hasn't picked up any viruses as well.
I have a hp pavilion dv4 laptop, some times when I leave it for a long time,an unexpected shutdown accures .I dont know whats the problem and how could I solve thatdetailes are here[CODE]
I am having this problem every time that I start flashget to download files over the night.Every morning I wake up there is unexpected shutdown.I noticed when I am using flashget for a long time the memory usage going up and up and I think when it goes to 4GB there is a system shutdown.
I'm hoping someone could give me some pointers on how to go about investigating my PC switching itself off after approximately 10 minutes of inactivity (not sleeping, as Windows is configured to do after 30 mins). The PC is used as a media centre with xbmc running as the frontend.If I leave the computer unattended whilst in XBMC. the computer will switch off after approximately 10 mins. I haven't (yet) checked if it happens outside of XBMC, though I suspect it will.The eventviewer shows: The previous system shutdown at <time> on <date> was unexpected.But nothing else of significance.The reason I'm convinced this is software related is because the shutdown always occurs around about 10 mins after leaving the PC alone, with no input. I havent timed it precisely, but will do so when I next get a chance.If I am using the PC in any way, or watching a film, it does *not* shutdown. There are no errors apart from that in the eventviewer log - i.e. no boot menu when you power back on to recommend safe mode, no message on starting windows to say it shutdown unexpectedly. I havent actually observed the shutdown myself yet, so Im not sure if there is a bluescreen or not.
I have been receiving the "windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" message and upon clicking the details I receive this information.

I am not sure if this is linked to my attempt to restrict my computers ability to sleep and/or hibernate while I am backing up my ipod to a network drive. (When it sleeps it stops the process).

It is a factory refurb ex-demo which came with windows 7 installed.I originally got the machine in January with a 1TB HD plus NVidia GeForce graphics card.Using with USB wired mouse, wireless keyboard.All was well for 10 days or so until it started having unexpected shutdowns.These increased to become full BSOD, occurring once or 2x daily.These events sometimes occur without warning although sometimes the mouse/keyboard goes sticky for up to an hour before problems occur.The machine has been back to supplier where it failed to display any problems.I have tried it without graphics card, tried disconnecting speakers, using with/without surge protected adaptors, tried different mouse/keyboard (wired and wireless).
Finally I tried my 1TB HD in another PC (same model as mine).Complete lockup of keyboard/ mouse.Reinstalled on 160GB HD (all that was available to test) in the alternative PC, refused to work with wireless keyboard and mouse, ran fine for a week with USB wired devices. Swapped back to my original PC keeping 160GB HD, ran 2 days ok, now back to same BSOD message.

I have just built a PC in the aim of using it as a Home Theather. I have a Media Center remote control and TV card, when I use the remote to put the computer to sleep it seems to work fine However when I use the remote to wake the PC, I get a reboot and unexpected shutdown message. This is also the case when I use the Start -> Shut down options -> sleep or hibernate. I have tried using microsoft debugger and the message I have been seeing is that, AverBas.sys does not have a timestamp and that its symbols can not be loaded. I got this far on my own but I have no idea what to do from here! I have attached the required zip file.
How do I fix this problem on my Windows 7 desktop computer? this is what's been happening since last weekend! and I've only had my computer since the summer of 2011?
Three days ago I found the computer safe mode with the message: Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown...and so on...Computer then would boot normally, but after a few minutes the monitor would go black. After shutting down with the button, the boot sequence would read Windows did not shut down normally...From there I got it to boot normally a couple of times, but after a few minutes a single mouse-click on something would kill the monitor again...eventually it would only boot into safe mode -- by itself. The graphics deteriorated to a more pixelated fuzzy mess, and suddenly even before the OS started it was low resolution I upgraded the driver to the latest (clean install) and last night things seemed fine. I left it on all night and this morning everything was fine and it worked great...for a few minutes. System Restore didn't help (grasping at straws here) but in Safe Mode With Networking everything seems just as it should (for safe mode, that is...). I am going to try to reset the card but I'm wondering if I'm correct in thinking it's probably the graphics card?

My Lenovo Thinkpad T400s running 64bit win7 has been freezing recently pretty often and so I have been shutting it down by pressing shut down button. It has recovered from it before, but at some point it would get stuck at 30% recovering and then start up after a long time. Now it is stuck at 6%. Before this it got up to 14% after keeping it on for 24hours. What can I do? It won't boot up from the recovery boot media either.
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)
