  Hello Tdr2970,

  Thank you for your message.  Have you tried using a different power strip?  I know that there are fuses inside power strips, maybe the fuse could go or is released.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

• During "shut down", I accidentally turned off the power strip to the desktop before to close the process finished. This is a problem.

  Since this event, start working normally, but after about 5 minutes the PC will 'freeze' and nothing works.  Even the stop the clock!  I can start and run the PC in safe MODE without any problem, even Shut Down works.  But, in normal mode, if I click "Shut Down", before the 5-minute 'freeze' occurs, the PC hang in the process of closing and never closed and turns off.

  In Safe Mode, I turned off a number of pilots to start, but it did not help.

  I studied 'system restore', but there is NO "restore points".

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Make sure you have the latest vista drivers for your computer which you can get your computer manufacturers Web site

  go to their website and look for a driver and software download section

  Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install

  also run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

• My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

  My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

  I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

  As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

  When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

  In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

  At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

  Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

  Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

• When I pick up my Windows 7 Acer Aspire power, the computer turns off when the battery shows fully charged

  Hello

  Are you aware of any changes made to the computer, before the show?

  I suggest to change the power management and check for the issue.

  Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

  If the above does not help, I suggest you to contact Acer support for assistance.

• 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

• 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.

• After the upgrade from Office 2007 to Ofice 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while.

  After upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while. When I turn on my computer, I get the splash screen indicating that Windows has finished unexpectedly and I would like to start in safe mode or normally (pluss a couple more choice...).

  Appears not to occur if there is activity going on--as if do me some work or have itunes playing music or I'm just surfing the internet. Curiously, it seems not to happen if I close Internet Explorer and Outlook.

  I shot all automatic updates for Windows Vista (32 bit) and Microsoft Office.

  B Odd Andersen

  Hi B Odd Andersen,

  I want to clarify if your computer seems to be sleeping or it completely closed after being idle for a while.

  Method 1: If the computer is in power saving mode, check if you can wake the computer from this State by moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard.

  Method 2: Change the power to another and check to see if the problem persists
  Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

  Method 3: check the logs in event viewer for more information on auto-off down

  Open event viewer

  What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)

  Note: For your safety and security, it is not recommended to disable Windows Update.
  Activate the update or disable automatic

• 2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use. I rebooted, but it stopped again.

  2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use.  I rebooted, but it stopped again.

  The model is that the computer runs for 15-30 minutes, then suddenly stops, the system reboots, runs for 2-3 minutes, stops, restarts, spans less than a minute, stops, restarts, stop after a few seconds, etc., and at that time there I give until the next day when I repeat the same cycle all over.    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it is a model of Dell Inspiron 518.  There is no error message but a beep at startup upward.  I ran Windows repair program 'Start' who did a restore without success.  The problem occurs even in Safe Mode.

  Does anyone have a guess as to what is the diagnosis?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Could be hardware or even heat and ventilation the related. Try using a small fan to increase ventilation. When a PC
  Remove ALL power and reinstall the memory, all cards and cables (do just not shake - remove and replace-)
  cables on both ends where possible).

  As it does in Mode safe so you probably need technical support in a real store of the computer - no Peeks/leeks at BestBuy or other large shopping areas. Very difficult to solve if it does not remain under tension.
  It remains under tension if you start from the disc of Vista?

• Why computer turns itself back after having paused?

  This computer (HP Pavilion Slimline model # s5107c, product # NP212AA-ABA, build software 93NAv6PrA3) works on VISTA Home Premium-64.  He had a virus that required the technician back up my files and clear everything and reinstall VISTA and my files.  Since then when I put the computer in standby mode, it lights automatically come back after a few minutes.

  I can find the settings for the computer to pause after so many minutes, but can not find any setting for the computer turning on itself.

  Help please.  Computer technology was not able to help me so far.

  Found this step online. Hope this works for you.

  Go in > "Screen saver" > "Change power settings" > "Change Plan settings" > "Change Advance power settings" > "Media settings" > "When Media Sharing" > and make sure that the setting says "ALLOW the COMPUTER to SLEEP".
