Computer shutdown

Is it really that harmful to shut down the computer by pressing the power button? As I want to say if your in Bios and you push the button if you really must if Windows does not start right. They should have an option in the Bios to turn off the computer, or y at - it something?

Hello

What brand / model of the computer?
It is not harmful to the computer from the BIOS. However it is not recommended that this method is often used. Allow the computer to boot completely and then you can choose to close it.
You can contact the computer manufacturer or consult the manual.
NOTE: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    my computer shutdown itself each time I use netflix for a few minutes. I don't know what the cause, but it's okay

    Hey, Zain.

    Of course, everything is not fine - as a result, the problem.  ;)
    My first thought would be overheating.  Clean dust from the computer lately (if ever)?

    Spent, I suggest you have a look through the system logs (right click on computer > manage; go to computer Management\System Tools\Event Vieewer) and find the event entry that indicates why the computer turns off.  You'll find it at ~ downtime (can be registered just before closing, can be generated on the reboot log entries.)  You devriez find the offending entry in Windows logs\System.
    Whatever it is, search through newspapers preceded entires, a yellow or red !

  • Unexpected computer shutdown

    Windows has suddenly closed without warning 3 times. Started in normal mode. Do you have an antivirus network san. There is no problem. What other shoulod do?

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the

  • When closing my one computer program "" ITIBITI /. ". EXE"appears on the screen prevents the computer shutdown.

    Original title: when closing my computer a program "" ITIBITI /. ". EXE"appears on the screen prevents the closing... the computer needed to force the point to close before I can close the computer

    I don't know how to describe it better but will try.

    When I select 'close the computer' page is in place ('close').  At the same time, a program called "' I T I B I T E X IE" appears on the screen. "

    Receive the note that says 'close', but she will close by have by clicking on "close".  I have to force it closed before I can close the computer.

    I hope it's understanable.

    Hey AvisTilly,

    Unless you have installed a program called ITIBITI, it would be a good idea to scan your computer for malware. Run a full scan using the Scanner below the link Microsoft to see if he can identify or remove malicious programs from your system.

  • Why or what are the causes of computer shutdown when prompted ccc.exe?

    When the computer is shut down, one element always remains... ccc.exe still running.  It does allow me to stop.   I am told that it has to do with the ATI radeon card.   What can I do to prevent or eliminate it?

    Hi TFossil,

    It's not malware - it is a legitimate program.  Why it does not close when you close it down is another issue - I'm not sure about this.  I guess it's possible, it's perhaps because of malware (malicious software can cause almost anything), but I tend to doubt.  I'm more inclined to believe there is a problem with device drivers or maybe some corrupt system or program files.

    This is the program file for the Catalyst Control Center (associated with the ATI radeon card).  Here is an article explaining the program, what it does, how to disable or stop leaving, how to remove this and other related information: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8679/what-is-ccc.exe-and-why-is-it-running/.

    To simply update the ATI drivers, see: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx.  You can also update your version of the Catalyst Control Center as well - make sure you're there.  To find the version you have, it is normally in the Help menu, about CCC, but in case of doubt, then just get the most recent version applicable to your card and your version of Windows and see if that helps.  It can't hurt to do this (update drivers and software are always good to have), but I would try personally follows first to see if that solves the problem.  If so, and I think it is, then you can always do the updates under less pressure (but don't please don't ignore what updates can also help in other ways).

    You should be able to stop the Catalyst Control Center to start at startup by clicking on start / all programs / accessories / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter. Go to the Startup tab and look for the Catalyst Control Center and uncheck the box next to it to keep it from running at the next startup. Save the changes and reboot. The system will now start without this program, so it will run only if you manually open the program to make changes (if needed or desired) and since it is not running, it won't be there to close to stop. I'm not 100% certain (but very, very close) that you don't need the program for the card to function properly, but I sincerely doubt. I have something similar (a Catalyst Control Center for my ATI card) and do not have this program running (I removed it from the start almost immediately and I don't really know if I never actually used it my video is fine as it is).

    Although I don't know if it's free (I don't get that far), here's how to join the technical support of AMD, which should be able to help with this problem: http://support.amd.com/us/contacts/Pages/global-technical-support.aspx if nothing else works.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Get "DDE server window not responding do not" message when computer shutdown

    Tell me why when shut down my PC , I got a "DDE SERVER WINDOW NOT RESPONDING... END message NOW? ' I've never had before, and the only way I could stop my PC was to finish the task.
    I am running Windows XP SP3
    Thank you!

    I uninstalled a program called iLike Sidebar & it seems that the DDE server window does not come up during a re-start and or close. I think it was the cause of it occurring first, because now that I remember I never had it happen before you install the Sidebar iLke. I think it was the cause of the problem, and am keeping an eye on, just in case it happens again. I hope I'm right about my prognosis.

    I thank all those who responded to this question, I had, & if he come again I will adhere to all the suggestions that everyone else does.
