• Computer turns off automatically

  Hello

  my Windows Vista laptop turns off automatically. This isn't a standby automatic regular, Hibernate or shutdown. The computer will just empty. When you try to turn it back on, the message that "the computer was not properly extinguished" sometimes appears.

  This auto disable happens irregularly. Sometimes it seems to happen more often when the computer made the task more or heavier. But the computer seems to be overheating.

  Someone has an idea what could be the problem and I can try to do about it?

  GRT, M

  Suggestions only. I may be far away...

  1. If this problem started not more than 10-15 days ago, and if you remember a time when you did not have this problem, please do a system restore. Choose a 'good' day as your restore point.

  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  Note: In most cases, do it in safe mode system restore is more preferable.
  Here's how to get safe mode:

  Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly tab key F8 until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Safe Mode.

  2. If it is not an option, going to Safe Mode > selectlast known good Configuration and run it.

• How and when the computer turns off automatically?

  Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.

  This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

  Hello allan299,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

  You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

  Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

  OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences

  OS X Yosemite: set sleep and wake up on time for your Mac

  OS X Yosemite: A schedule for your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep

  Best regards.

• Computer turns on automatically everytime I turn on my power strip

  Original title: autostart

  When I turn on my power strip, my PC (HP Pavilion a450n) now also turns on automatically.  Since I use the band for other things, I press the button on the central unit when I want to use it.  I did it for years.  Any ideas how and why he changed?

  You can double check your bios settings and ensure that all of the settings related to 'wake up' or 'awakening' is disabled.

  Another option is to use a power controller.  It's like a surge protector, but each card has a power button to turn on or off the individual components.

  I have six of them in all directions, and they are an investment 'good '.

  Hello

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  (2) how many times it will happen?

  I want to clarify if your computer just stops or restarts it automatically.

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  Method 2: check the logs in Event Viewer for more information on the unexpected shutdown, see the links below

  Open event viewer

• A computer turns off automatically after a disk check?

  I recently received messages to a disk check on my computer where I have to press any key to stop so I was request made a check disk automatically shut down the computer after that it's over? And also everything happens automatically I want to leave my computer at night so that it ends because, I heard that they take a long time to finish, because it has all the steps 4 and 5.

  It will not use a system reboot, unless you set the box to solve problems & it's the hard drive of the system.

  If you set this box then it will ask if you want to check hard disk errors the next time you start your computer.

  If you click schedule disk check, and then he'll do his analysis before the competition start in Windows, the next time you restart the PC.

• Computer turns on automatically when I shutdown - Windows 8

  This has only recently begun to happen repeatedly as before going to happen from time to time. I go through all the motions of properly turned off my computer. He stops to the bottom of the screen turns off turn silent and 5secs after it shuts it boots back up again. I'm getting sick and tired of what happens every time. As I said I have really never had any problems with this before going to happen from time to time but now it's EVERY time.

  There is no error message. As I said stop correctly, then 5 seconds like clockwork, it starts at the top. I tried to look through the forums for an answer but aren't more of my question and wading in the thread and the unhappy customers nets is rather tedious. As indicated in the title, my OS is Windows 8. Will you please help or correction would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

  A usual suspect is the wifi (or Ethernet) card with "allow this device to wake the computer".  You can check your clicking on open network and sharing Center > change adapter settings > click with the right button on the adapter > properties > networking > configure > power management.  Uncheck the box as shown.

• My computer turns on once a week automatically during the night. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks Gunter

  Hello
  I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
  If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
  Thank you
  Gunter

  Your best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows.  Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used.  She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.

  Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).

  This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you.  For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:

  Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.

  Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing.  You can then decide if you want to remove one of them.  You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.

• Why my internet accounts automatically get disconnected after that my computer turns off by itself?

  I have a Compaq PC with processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 5000, and it runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium... In my view, that is running Service Pack 2. I use the computer to check my e-mail, my YouTube and Facebook accounts (and possibly other accounts spread I connect to).

  I usually use Internet Explore to browse the web. Sometimes my computer turns off by itself due to overheating. But whenever when this happens, when I turn my computer back on and return to the use of the Internet, I've totally frustrated to find that all my accounts were automatically disconnected!

  Even when I check these boxes to keep me connected to these accounts when I turn on the computer again after a successful stop, my accounts still get disconnected!

  It only seems to happen when my computer turns off by itself without stopping... mainly due to overheating. When I turn on the computer again after a successful regular stop, my accounts are automatically saved on once again, due to activate me "Keep me connected" by checking these little boxes. But after a situation when the computer is off all the time (either by himself for a reason, either by me with strength to turn it off when my computer crashes), my accounts do not remain.

  How can I prevent my accounts automatically be disconnected so that whenever I start the computer, after it turns off by itself, my internet accounts turned on? There must be a patch for this embarrassing situation here on the internet.

  Perhaps because an improper shutdown / forced can inpact on different parameters.

  Your must not PC in all cases be having heat problems, you need to fix this (heat) before it turns into something terminal

• OfficeJet pro 8620: how to set up printer to turn on automatically when you receive an incoming fax on a dedicated line

  I want to configure my printer to turn on automatically when receiving incoming fax. Do I have to leave power or can I change the setting to turn on automatically with each incoming call. He is a dedicated fax line that is not connected to my computer. Also there is a sleep mode, the power led remains on when you use the sleep mode?

  Hi @mcqwats,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see you want for your printer HP switch automatically when an incoming fax arrives. You have not the possibility to activate the automatic answer - on, but the printer must be turned on so that this function executes.

  There is however no way to set the preferences to activate the printer when it is off.

  I hope that answers your questions.
