Hello ALE-1,

1. What is the exact error message that you receive?
2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

Method 1

Check in SafeMode if the problem persists.

Start your computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

Restart the computer to return to normal mode

Method 2

If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer cause the computer to stop.
I suggest you perform the clean boot procedure and check.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
1. click on Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.
3. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
4. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

Method 3

Check the event viewer to determine the cause of the shutdown and the post returns with details of the event viewer.

  • Skype has stopped working, several times a day, especially after the hibernation of the BONE

    Until recently, I used Skype 6.0 without problem (the latest version had a bug that when headphones are plugged in, headphones and speakers were performing simultaneously), but I was required to go through an email about group conversations. Since then I am fumbling with Skype blocking ("Skype has stopped working") without any obvious reason (Skype in the background), especially once I wake Windows hibernation.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit. The exception is 0xc0000005 and its offset 0x011666fe.

    I naturally use the version 6.14, have a BONE perfectly patched with drivers up-to-date, tried several restarts but also uninstall and reinstall and do not use compatibility mode.

    What exactly the offset of the exception said about the problems I encountered with?

    Offset of the exception is the address in the memory of the computer where this 'exception' appeared. Exception 0xc0000005 code means "access violation". There are very little chance anyone will tell you exactly what is happening at that particular memory address. Generally, the debugging process is by trial and error. In some cases the question may be due to corruption of the Skype configuration files.

  • computer stops at any time for no apparent reason

    the most likely causes are overheating and power problems.

  • Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off. I have to shut my computer down several times a day to turn off the monitor.

    Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off.  So, I shut down my computer and restart several times a day, because when I put it in mode 'sleep', he wakes to the top in a few minutes and will not fall asleep.  I could put a blanket on my screen when not in use, but I'd rather find a way to make it stay asleep when I tell him.

    Light (switch) had already done once before and I was so worried that once I turned off the monitor that I would never get it new on... a bit short of money here, to buy a new monitor, but the next day, I pressed the power button with an additional downward pressure and I could so he could start working again (able to turn the market monitor).  It was about 3 weeks ago.  Now, the light stays green, unless I stop the whole computer.

    Maybe my main problem is sleep mode, which removes the screen for like 2 minutes and then he wakes up to the top and is so rude when I myself and try to sleep, I just turn off the monitor everytime I put the computer to sleep.

    Now, I can't turn off the monitor, except by turning off the computer.

    My computer makes sure to plant three to five times a day. It always ends with the blue screen of death and strong buzz.

  • PC Windows Vista stops unexpectedly. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all.

    My Windows Vista PC completely stops unexpectedly and without warning. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all. When I turn it back on, sometimes I have a blue screen that tells me that the PC has experienced an unexpected shutdown and communicate with my local technician. However when turning on, I am always able to return to my office. My anti-virus support told me that it is not related to a virus. Help!

    It is likely some equipment or device driver issue (although we can not entrierly a problem of software).  I need a lot more information on this blue screen - EXACTLY what it says Word for Word with all the codes.  Read the messages and follow the procedures established by the MVP of the spirit in the following thread on the Blue Screen of Death.  They should help you solve your problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/8cd8362e-7d06-46FB-afd7-84d54b6a8ea7  I know it's long but a blue screen problems problem may take some time because there are so many different causes and we must find the right to try to identify the problem and then find a way to fix it.  One of the elements in his post is a method to prevent the system to reboot when a blue screen if you have the time to copy the information.  If the system is not turned off, but the screen does not stay up long, press prtscrn to copy the screen, then when the system boots to open Microsoft Paint, click on the Open box and click Ctrl + V to paste here you have plenty of time to copy the information and post it here so we can look at.  Do not forget to include EVERYTHING - it is unclear what could be of crucial importance.

    I repeat the procedures in the messages of the spirit in the link above - just follow them and answer back here with the results.  Want to make interim reports before the end of the stteps is perfectly OK - in fact, I suggest you do that so I can help guide you and maybe eliminate some of the steps because they will provide no information, that we don't already know (or will not solve the problem because of the information that we already know.

    A question, is your so hot PC anywhere on it that if you hold your hand on it, you will need to detach due to heat?  Overheating is a common cause of this type of problem.  Check that the fan doesn't work and all intake and exhaust ports are clean of dust, lint, or any other obstacle.  If this is a desktop computer, remove the cover and clean the entire interior to remove dust and lint and anything else that doesn't belong.  Make sure you do not loosen or detach the wiring or the accessories cards or RAM chips.  Don't bother if it's a laptop - it's too difficult to get inside to do a proper clean-up - just make sure that the fan is running and that the vents are clear.

    I hope this helps.  I look forward to your reply with your comments about what you did to the spirit and procedures for detailed information on the blue screen error.

    Good luck!

  • How can I configure my computer stops at a specific time?

    I know that I can set up Parental controls for other users, but I would like to be able to set a time limit so that the computer turns off. Is this possible?

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

    You can create a scheduled task that runs at a specific time every day. Its command line would be like this:

    stop, s, f, t 300
    The command will generate a group of pop up at the specified time, and then shut the computer down to 300 seconds (= 5 minutes) later. For information about how to create a scheduled task, click Start, click Help, then look for help on the scheduled task. When you create the task, make sure that it is running under the account 'System '. Initially, you must specify a time of 15 minutes now so that you can test the task shortly after it is created.
    If you find it intimidating to create a scheduled task then here is a simpler method:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on the start planet.
    3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
    6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    -22:00 / every: m, t, w, e, f, s, su shutdown.exe/s/f/t 300

  • Is it better to leave my computer all the time, it starts once a day... or restart 2 - 3 times a day when I use it?

    I wonder if that makes a difference in the wear and tear on the computer the frequency at which it turned itself off and then restarted.

    Why do you want to start it 2 - 3 times a day?
    Do not use it, you can put in stand-by or hibernation!

    Unless you absolutely must re-boot, you can use alternatives.

  • Loss of connection network several times a day while actively using internet. Will not stop after that.

    I read a lot of posts on the Vista network connections problems when changing modes of consumption, or when the wireless adapter is inactive. None of them apply to me because I lose my network connection when I have my laptop plugged in and I'm actively using the internet (for example, watch movies online). After trying "diagnose and repair" options, nothing seems to work. The only way I found to get internet again is to restart my computer. What makes it still more difficult, is that after that happens, my computer doesn't shut down normally. It freezes at the blue screen that says "shutting down". Whenever this problem with the network connection happens I am forced to make a difficult start (hold the power button until the power is off) if I want to use the internet again. It's only happened for about a month, and it's happened before and after that I installed Service Pack 2. I don't remember installing any software a month ago with the exception of Windows updates that I can't uninstall (the button uninstall is hidden for some updates). Any help I can get would be much appreciated because it is very frustrating to have hard to start my laptop several times a day in order to continue to work on this.

    Hi Sam

    I regret that no one answered earlier.

    Since you don't have physical access to the router, this will make the diagnosis very difficult.  And, given that this problem is intermittent, once again, very hard to track down what is causing the problem.  You can very well just to lose the intensity of the signal.

    I mentioned the switch on the laptop because if anything goes wrong, who "could" cause this problem, and given that the laptop is no longer under warranty, you will not be able to have your factory repair it (for free of course).

    I don't see what other suggestions from the Forum can give you.  Once again, with this problem being sparadic (intermittent) and since you share Internet access with someone else and do not have physical access to the router for troubleshooting purposes, my hands are basically related...

  • MY COMPUTER GUARD LOCK UP TO 5 - 10 TIMES A DAY. LINES DIAGONALS IN A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS COLORFUL WHEN CELA SE PRODUCT.

    My computer continues to be locked.  When this happens there are diagonal wavy lines (bottom left to top right) on screen.  This happens 5-10 times a day.  I have to press the button power 5-7 seconds to power off the coast.  The diagonal lines are different colors, with different colored backgrounds.  There is no consistency in the colors.  They range from red to orange to blue to white.  I'm ready to throw it off the roof!

    Various colored lines are usually an indication of a problem either with your graphics drivers or a graphics card fault.

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    If the above does not fix it: try changing the graphics card, if a desktop computer.

    If a laptop computer, contact the manufacturer.

    See you soon.

  • Alienware x 51 r3 crashed to the Alienware logo screen when I turn on my computer first time every day.

    My new r3 Alienware x 51 will not start windows when I turn the first time on the computer in daily life.
    When the Alienware logo is displayed on the screen, the computer will not load. (No loading cycle appears under the alienware logo). Then the screen becomes black. Keyboard and mouse lights are turned off. Some time, the screen becomes blue background of windows, then the loading cycle does not work any time more and some, the screen has crashed on the Welcome screen of win 10. However, when I turn off the computer and start again immediately. It works normally. If I switech it off and then start it about 2 hours later, the computer will crash again. Every day the first time to activate it, I have to run it twice.

    I used Dell diagnostic software to search the computer, everything is OK. But it's my second X R3 51 during this period of a month. The last graphics card problem, I switched to this one. But the other also has the same problem. Therefore, in my view, it is that my other hardware problem? I connect a keboard Corsair K95 RGB, G502 mouse, joystick Thrustmaster and a saitek rudder. I used a USB 1 4 adapter to connect some of them. The X 51 system is widows 10. I've also used these materials with a X 51 R2 two years previous. Never encounter this problem.

    Got my X R3 51 in December. All of us have had this problem of gel. I "think" what fixed my X 51 R3 rose dating drivers for Intel hardware. Download and run Iobit Drive Booster or snail Majorgeeks.com driver and see if it helps.

    ATTENTION:

    If you use Iobit Drive Booster, uncheck download AdvancedSystem care before installing the Booster Drive. AdvanceSystem Care blocks every time my hard drive.
