Can't Log Off - Restart - Shut Down
Mar 16, 2005My new computer, running XP SP2, generally works fine. However, 9 times out of 10, when I try to log off or shut down at the end of the day, nothing happens. I've trying all the different ways of shutting down I know of (Task Manager, Start Bar, etc.), but nothing has any effect. I can only turn off the computer by manually hitting the power button.

Oct 26, 2007I sincerely hope you can succeed where others have failed. Since flashing my BIOS recently, I have been unable to shutdown my PC without it restarting automatically. I am aware of some possible causes i.e Roxio, I do not have that on my system. It is something that occured since the flash upgrade. The upgrade I used was Award BIOS TypePhoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG I have set optimum values in BIOS and tried shutting down from safe mode to eliminate any added USB devices etc.

Sep 16, 2006I recently re-installed windows XP Pro after a clean format. I backed up all drivers from my system32 folder and used them to make sure that all drivers would still be there after the reinstall. I still have all the same programs installed (McAfee AV, ZoneAlarm Personal, Spybot, and Ad-Aware) but now when I log off I simply get the windows xp logo on the blue background screen. (The Saving Your settings, Logging, off, Windows is shutting down dialoge does not occur) I have made no hardware changes. I must also note that this does not happen all of the time, but it also isn't happening with any discernable pattern, so it's hard to narrow down what may be the cause

Apr 22, 2007Son's Dell 2600--3 yrs old has just crashed. Disk was fairly full (lots of music, plus recent I-pod video converter installed). Right before this happened, I did routine virus, adware scans then error check. During error check, the computer shut down and blue screen came up saying "problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage." It goes on to say if this is the first time restart (same thing happened) and if not to disable/uninstall antivirus, etc (impossible if I can't get computer to start normally) and to run chkdsk. There is a STOP message: STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001901FF, 0x82B97920, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000). The second of those four sets of numbers changes with each restart. After restarting, I am given options to go into safe mode, last known good config., etc. All end up with the same blue screen and message. I have searched google high and low yesterday and today, tried various things, tried Win XP CD (goes right back to options for safe mode, etc.).

Apr 17, 2006Recently my PC stopped restarting properly.If I choose restart it takes longer than usual, then windows shuts down, leaving the hard drive light on, then nothing. It just hangs there. I end up forcing shut down.It simply never tries to startup again. If I choose "shut down" everything goes OK, PC shuts off normally.I've heard that a friend had the same problem with an older PC (Mines 6yrs old) and he said he replaced the battery and the problem stopped.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSystem Automatically Shut Down - Blue Screen
Aug 30, 2007About 3 days ago, I was on my computer and then it just automatically shut off, then went to a blue screen. I don't quite remember what the blue screen said, but it mention something about disabling BIOS and disableing/removing any new software I had downloaded. I didn't download ANY new software, and I dont really know much about computers, therefore don't know what to do about the BIOs. It also did mention something about disabling caching as well. I thought this was a one time thing, so I booted up my computer again, and it happened at 14 minutes later, and then again and again. I tried doing a last known good configuration while booting up the computer, but than a bigger problem started. My mouse stopped working. It's a wireless Microsoft mouse, and I used the other one that I had, and that didn't work either. It seemed that the adapter didn't want to connect with the mouse, therefore just sat there with the light blinking.

Oct 31, 2008I have my computer set to receive updates automatically. This usually happens as I shut down, when I have notification that updates are being downloaded and installed and the computer will shut itself off afterwards.All has been well until this week. I found that there were still 2 updates waiting for installation. I checked the little sheild and tried to download and install manually. I had a 'failed' notice.The two updates are - Microsoft excel 2003 KB955466 and Microsoft Outlook 2003 junk email filter KB957257.I am not too worried about these as I do not use Outlook, and rarely use excel. However, I do not know why they are failing.

Oct 4, 2010So I reinstalled XP Home on an MPC Pentium 4 HT. After installing all the windows updates, including SP3, and some basic programs, I was up and running.

I reboot, and instead of going to Welcome screen, then desktop with all my icons, it's showing the factory default resolution (you know, huge mouse cursor and all), and asking me to activate Windows, which I did about 6 days ago

Mar 3, 2006I have tried to look for a similar problem here at TSG, but I couldn't find one so I decided to post. I have a desktop computer that I got about a year ago, it's running XP Pro on Pentium 4 3.2GHz system, has 512 ram and I think a 200Gb HDD. Lately it has been restarting, usually when I try to, eg: listen to music and surf the web, which is nothing strenuous, especially for a computer which I thought was pretty good. All of a sudden though, it has just restarted itself and, and as soon as it gets to the Windows XP loading screen, it restarts again and again. I can never get past the XP loading screen. I have a lot of valuable information on the computer and so I was hoping that someone would be able to help me fix this issue without formatting if possible.
View 11 Replies View RelatedRestart And Reboot System Shutdown
Apr 29, 2008I'm not too knowledgeable about the technical side of computing, so please bear with me.I'm running Windows XP Professional (SP2) on an AMD Athlon XP 3200+. My grandson showed me a game called Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, which I fell in love with and subsequently bought for my own computer. As I only had 'on board' graphics, the game obviously wouldn't run, so I bought an Nvidia 6200 graphics card.Following the instructions which came with it, I installed the card successfully. The only thing I couldn't do was disable the 'on board' graphics, but as my computer recognised the new card automatically, I went ahead and installed the driver.The new card didn't need an extra power source, as there was no connector on it. Incidentally, I did find the 'on board' graphics in the System > Properties list, but nothing happens when I click on it, so I assume I can't disable it.
Everything appeared to work well and I got the Roller Coaster game up and running beautifully.Some time later, after I had closed the game and gone on to other things, I needed to restart my computer, so I went through the usual restart sequence.Things went well at first but some way through the Windows XP loading screen, where the little blue bars scroll across, my computer simply switched off, totally! I tried again (obviously from a cold boot this time), but the same thing happened.To cut a long story short, I eventually removed the new card, and restored my system to a safe point, and it's now running perfectly again, although I can't play my game now.I'd be really grateful for any advice you can offer as to what the problem might be, as I want to build some more roller coasters!

View 6 Replies View RelatedRandom / Spontaneous Reboot - Reconfigured Not Auto Restart On Crashes
Aug 27, 2005Initially, it just seemed like totally random and spontaneous reboots. But after I reconfigured XP to not autorestart on crashes, now I'm getting BSODs. IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000188, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x804E35E9)Beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete.
This seems to happen at 2 times.
1) Completely random, with no obvious ties to any activity.
2) When a USB device is disconnected. Windows acknowledges the removal with a bong, but then BSOD crashes seconds later.
Both are extremely intermittent and it may be a week or more in between crashes. I can sit there and insert and remove USB devices (a Creative USB MP3 Player) until I'm blue in the face and never see a crash. This is a home built PC with an ASUS motherboard running XP Home. The system has been reliable for many years but just started this in the last several months. I'm current on all service packs, updates, and whatever else I've been able to find.
Restore Desktop Icons To Default Every Time At Reboot Restart Computer
Jan 13, 2007I'm running Windows XP professional and when I change my desktop icons (my computer, my documents, my network places, recycle bin full and & empty) they revert back to the default settings when I restart my system. This doesn't effect my wallpaper, start menu settings or personalized colors, only the icons. The file that I'm using is an *.ico file which I know works fine. (I've used this file when I was still using windows 98.) I've also tried making a "theme" with the saved settings and that doesn't seem to work either. I'm wondering if it's some simple setting that I'm over looking. Something stupid like "Restore default icons on restart"...I'd rather not edit my registry if I don't have to.
