I decided to use a computer at an Elementary school I work at in Japan. I switched it on and then checked my email and surfed the web. I decided to shut down the computer after I finished. The next day a teacher says do not shut down the computer because last night teachers could not use the computer. Is this just a security reason once you shut down you can't use the computer again for that day? I always thought it was simply reenter the password and reconnect to the internet again to use the computer again.
When I try to shut down my computer start turnoff computer turn off, nothing happens. I have to shut it down by holding the power button until it shuts down.
Every now and then when starting my pc (WinXP), it seems to enter a hanging mode. I know when the problem is occurring because the sound card icon doesn't show on the task bar.I don't know if all programs are non-functioning, but the internet connection and the sound card are not only when this occurs. The main problem: the pc will not shutdown. Bringing up the task manager won't work either, leaving me no choice but to shut off the pc via surge switch. What can cause this problem?
When I go to the start button and go to the turn off computer option, the computer freezes. Then when I shut down by going to windows task manager, after everything closes and goes to the screen "windows is now shutting down", it never shuts down. The computer just stays on that screen forever, and then I have to shut off the computer with the power button.
I've had a problem with my computer; in the past, almost every time I turned off the computer and rebooted, I would have to enter safe mode and then switch to regular mode, so I generally kept the computer on. After a longer than normal power outage, my computer doesn't reboot anymore. When I push the power button, it begins to boot and then shuts down. The computer in question has an amd 1,1 ghz athlon, 1 agp video card, 1 pci dual monitor video card (I run 3 monitors), a dvd drive, a cd-rw drive, a 3.5" floppy drive, a soundblaster card, 56k modem, 40 gig hd and an ethernet card for dsl.I'm running xp home edition with sp2. I tried unplugging various cards and drives, but it still will not boot.
when i press shut down my computer then its going 2 restart and the n give this message:DOCUME~1saikatLOCALS~1TempWER2038.dir00Mini061206-04.dmp C:DOCUME~1saikatLOCALS~1TempWER2038.dir00sysdata.xml
I'm running Windows XP home sp2 on a WD Raptor hooked to a Gigabyte 7NNXP mobo inside a Lian Li tower. I have all the latest drivers, BIOS updates and Windows updates. The problem is that when turning off the computer from Windows it continues to run, (Windows shuts down but power light is on and fans are running). At this point I used to be able to turn it off by pressing the power button [Instant off set in BIOS]. Then that stopped working and I tried the four second delay after pressing power button option in BIOS and that is working but I'm afraid something is not right and continuing without isolating the problem will result in broken computer.

Can anyone please help me?Hardware:Motherboard - Intel D865PERL Processor - P4 3.0E GHz Memory - 512 Mb DDR PC3200 Hard Disk - 80 Gb Parallel ATA Video Card - ATI Radeon 9250 OS: Windows XP Professional.Things I've tried: Clean install of Windows XP Pro Checked if Motherboard grounds with Case Tried with another Power Supply Latest BIOS Unchecked Automatically Restart if system fails I've visited different forums, and the information doesn't seem to help.A little more explanation, if I shut down some times it shuts down, and sometimes it restarts.

I have windows xp home edition oem version on compaq presario desk top with sp 2. When I try to shut down and it gets to the "windows is shutting down" it just stays there until I turn computer off with switch. I only use that computer occasionally as a back-up but would really like to fix it. The bios was last updated in 2004 and the power settings of bios are set to default so I believe it is a windows problem. The computer is loaded with pre-installed junk software from a recent restore using the restore cd. I am also open for suggestions on how to uninstall all the junk without causing other problems with the oem windows xp. The computer has 2.8 celeron and 500 mb memory. I would greatly appreciate any help
i was wondering if you could help me with a problem. My computer won't shut down. The only way i can actually turn it off is by the button or *the plug*. I think i'm damaging it, and i recently had it upgraded. here are my specs: Windows XP Home service pack 2 Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz 1.00 GB of ram ASUS P4S800-MX 250GB hard drive and 80GB C drive ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB (VGA graphics card)
This system, for whatever reason, is having some weird issues. 1. Applications keep shutting down 2. The computer randomly shuts off 3. Computer screen will go black, and the cursor will turn into a larger cursor like the cursor looks like when it is in safe mode, and I won't even be able to move the cursor; the fans also started kicking in when it did this as if it were starting to work really hard (only did this once).I've scanned for viruses and spyware. It was relatively clean. Then I did a sfc /scannow. Seemed to work for a while, but now it's acting weird again.
it will shut off and restart itself. He claims that this has been happening close to when he received it. We had no real proof of it restarting until last night when he was actually using it and it restarted before his eyes. He is running Windows XP MCE 2005.
There's a very annoying program called dfg shutdown installed on my computer that shuuting down my computer at certain time.I can't uninstall that program.Is there a way to prevent my computer from shutting down?
When i start shutting down pc it shows every program "Not Responding" and then it shots it closing. And for every program like that. Auto EndTask is 1 but still it Shows how tasks ends.2.When pc is already at "windows shutdown" stage then sometimes comes svcadmin.exe Installation failed.
I run Windows XP had to recently restore my laptop.Things are getting back to "normal" except that now when I click on the "start" button and then "turn off computer"I have to wait about 4-5 minutes while the hour glass icon spins before I get the "log off, shutdown, restart" menu. Once this appears and I select "shutdown" everything goes okay and shuts down pretty fast.What might be causing this long delay?
