Is it because of damaged hard drive files?

    Perform a restart from a hard stop. Press the f8 key until you get to the screen asking questions on safe mode. Select repair. Then, you should find a system restore option. Select it. Spend until it gives you a choice of dates, then select a date before the update. This worked like a charm and does not lose any data. Turn off your automatic installation of updates option.

  • When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.

    original title: sleep/hibernation

    When my computer goes into sleep mode, I have to press the power button to turn it back on.  I used only having to press a key on the keyboard.

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, as if it was before?

    Well, on the theory that your computer is awkward, try to change the settings to another thing and OK your way out the control panel.  Then go back and put them in the way they were and OK your way out.  Occasionally, it will reset the internal parameters and things can return to normal.

    Hi BSRC$, in stock

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

    Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

    It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

    I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.

  • My Win 7 Pro x 64 computer goes to screen connection in use

    I tried to read a Wiki article and all the two minutes, the computer goes to the login screen.

    (It just does the same thing while writing this!)

    I have disabled all functions, I certainly did not do and searched through all the power options advanced without success in energy saving.

    All my computers are using the same OS and none of them have ever behaved in this way.

    I don't understand this behavior at all as it's not playing music, videos or games.

    It just happens, so far, while I'm reading and trying to write any kind of article on a Web site.

    Thanks for your quick response!

    I used a timer and found that this event took place exactly 55 seconds after any mouse or keyboard.

    Then I searched through my programs installed for what may be the cause of the problem. Nada.

    Then, I opened the Task Manager and looked for something unusual and found something.

    Intel Watchdog Timer driver. I had never heard of him, so I googled and it sounded as if she may be the culprit.

    I then deleted, set the timer and waited. And waited.

    My computer is no longer automatically goes back to the login page when I'm not using any input device.

    I forgot to say that I built this computer Sunday afternoon, it was about 5 days since she 1st went online.

    I've archived your response for later use, as I'll certainly use it at another time.

    I'll follow your advice right now to make sure that it is quite a thing.

    Thank you for your help.
