HARD drive turn down after the time specified in Power Options

I have the default settings for the hard disks in Power Options, I use the High-Performance option.

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/9219/capturesig.PNG

but after the amount of time the disks will continue to work.

When I had my previous Windows (Home Premium) this function used to work ok.

now with my new version (ultimate) disks will continue to run even after those days are gone.

don't you think it's important that I have installed Windows in a 1 TB HARD drive?

even if I leave the pc alone for more than an hour that the disks will work.

  • Display does not decrease or turn off after the time specified in the power settings.

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv6-2140's. It is 1.5 years old. For a few days, my computer doesnot dim laptop screen or stops itself when not in use. I did the settings or power options. tried both recommended hp and energy saving. waited for several minutes, but neither the screen became decrease or stop. It was plugged and I slept something, but I knew he would go to standby mode after 15 minutes, but when I woke in the morning, he was still on with its full brightness for nearly 6 hours! That's what really shocked me, and then I checked for everything on google, but couldn't find anything. So please help me. Why is it so. I didn't install anything, nothing updated.

    Thank you

    Please update the latest version of the BIOS for your laptop and also check if your laptop screen is turned off when the unit works only with the battery.
    Go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings and configure the parameters of the battery and check if the display turns off. In case it does, you can try then configure the parameters of the plan when the unit is plugged.

  • Windows 8 keeps on freezing, active hard drive at 100% of the time

    Hello. I was wondering if someone could help me with a little problem I seem to have met. This happens only in the last few days after I installed an update of Windows 8. I don't remember if I installed something else during this time, but I highly doubt it. I had problems with my computer freeze on me after being the counterpart of 10 minutes. It's always the same thing as well. I boot up perfectly fine, I can browse the internet and go through my files when suddenly my hard drive light goes solid, I check the Task Manager and it says that the activity time is 100% but is not read anything, and none of the files using the resources of hard drive which makes no sense. Before that happens, the Service Host: Local Service (small network) tends to spike up and down, as well as the system. I guess the system is a piece of data that the computer has recently been started and is still in process of initialization files.

    I am currently only able to run the laptop in Safe Mode. I can't mount /sfc on the normal start and had to do through Mode without failure. I tried a clean boot, but nothing helps, the problem still persisted. I want to try to disable several Microsoft applications, but I'm not too sure about those to whom I can turn off safely. The laptop is a Samsung Series 3, model NP355v5c-S08SE. Any help will be greatly appreciated this is currently shooting in the source of all banes!

  • 850 - 009na M1Z34EA #ABU: CPU fan for the 850-009na feel like Phoenix does not turn down after the power - on self test unless the BIOS is entered

    Hello

    I have posted responses to other posts on this topic, but thought I'd start a new thread to gather my conclusions. I'm sorry for a trial

    This PC is virtually brand new (only a few weeks now) and otherwise perform exceptionally.

    Basically, if the machine is disconnected from the power grid (i.e. the power is off at the plug or the power cord removed), when the machine is supplied then the CPU fan turns over 2000 rpm and stays there. All the other PC that I do this too, but the fan will slow down after turning upward. I know that this is done as part of the POST to check that the fan is running.

    If I go into any installation of seed, start-up or BIOS for example (i.e. by pressing ESC or F10 etc.), the fan will slow down immediately up to 700 rpm. It will stay like that until the next time the machine is started against the cold. If I shut down the PC - watch or stop - but do not cut the power supply, then the next time the machine is started, the fan is still about 700 rpm. It is not to turn up to 2 k + RPM when lit.

    As soon as I unplug, then the next time the PC boots, it will turn to the top and I have to repeat steps - off, boot, enter the BIOS, exit and continue. It is something to do with the cold start.

    Note that I don't have to do anything in the start menu - I for example go to the BIOS settings, exit without saving the changes, and the fan will still slow. It's going in the boot sector that slows down the fan.

    When the PC started out-of-the-box, I opted for the upgrade to Windows 10 during installation. I have read in various places that people had experienced after the upgrade, so I reset the machine to factory settings (Win 8.1) and have not upgraded, but the problem persisted. However convinces me that Windows 10 has been removed completely, as when I went to restore the backup image (i.e. dating back to what I had before the factory reset) there are references to 10 Windows (for example, it says 'Continue to Windows 10' as well as various food options). I do not understand UEFI so I don't know if that was involved.

    I tried to change the power plan options "Processor power management-> cooling system strategy" on the liabilities side, but no joy there.

    I think that the fan and sensors work, based on the findings below. These readings of temp and fan are taken from AIDA64

    After starting cold (current was cut, without entering the BIOS), machine runs dry without load

    Exactly the same thing--starting in cold, but go in the BIOS, do nothing and continue. Once again, no load

    This is after power off and resarting, but to let the PC network

    After the above, I used Prime95 to put the CPU support (use of 95-100%), and after an hour, the readings are:

    Note that even so, the fan was not particularly strong, but it's at 2222 rpm as in the first reading.

    If I play at 4K (the whole point of the PC ) the CPU so far got very warm, the GPU is but his fan turns up as planned.

    In conclusion, it seems that the POST has a problem because it does not slow down the fan after the test.

    I can live with let the machine always plugged into the sector (for example, most of the time) and I guess that's what most people do, but I would like to know what the problem is (for example if it's really something 10 Windows, or a bug in the BIOS/UEFI)

    Thank you very much!

    John

    Explain you a lot of people who maybe have returned their system immediately because of this? Others might judge normal sound. Not irritable average is not coming here to complain. Others might judge her so little. They simply don't like. You will never convince me that is not a BIOS problem. As the problem resolves itself when you enter manually each time. It can be reproduced every time.

  • How to copy data from one hard drive to another after the upgrade?

    I have a HP e9220y, and I recently bought a new hard drive for it. There is nothing wrong with the former, but this one has a 64 MB cache and 7200 RPM so I hope it will be a little faster. I installed it and it works fine, but I want to copy all data from the old disk to the new so I can start everything off the faster hard drive and I seem to have a bit of doing wrong. I can't just copy and paste because of the Windows system files that are used. And last night when I set up Windows backup, and went to bed, when I thought it that Windows has recovered from a stop unexpected, rebooted, and only 2 GB of data saved obtained.

    What is the best way to move all the data from the old drive to the new drive, make it the default C: drive and move partitions system and factory_image as well? Thank you!

    Please read this link to another post made by Big_Dave and myself

    (1) If your old drive and the new drive is Seagate or Western Digital, then free House with their cloning software.

    (2) before starting the clone process, I found best to perform a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

    Cloning software to copy the two partitions. Example:

    Old drive 250 GB formatted to 232 C: created 220 and 12 GB D:

    New 1000GO drive formatted to 931 GB created 919 GB C: and D: to 12 GB

    The "Seagate disc Wizard" cloning software will let create you a clone automatic or manual partition resizing.

    The two modes to offer an overview of the actions before commit you. The manual on this page of Seagate (PDF) is 68 pages.

    After the cloning process he complete, all you have to do is swap on the disks. Besure to connect your new disc on the original motherboard SATA port.

  • Together-hard drive breaks down when the resizing of the IDE

    Hi all

    I'm trying to resize a thin provisioned IDE drive using the following command:

    * Set-hard drive - HDD (Get-disk hard - VM myVm) - CapacityKB (37 * 1024 * 1024) *.

    However, I get the following error message when you try to do:

    Invalid operation for the device '0'

    The maximum size that works is 8GB (8 * 1024 * 1024) which is be the default size for the virtual Windows XP machine I created.

    Execution of the order, even against a SCSI drive works fine.

    I'm initially create virtual machines with a disk of 1 MB and resizing in order to reduce the time of provisioning. Someone has seen this before or know a work around? We currently lack of vSphere 4.0.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if this is a bug or by design, it appears however that you cannot resize an IDE drive. (Interesting that you mentioned that it works up to 8GB).

    One solution is to convert the drive.

  • My Samsung G2 portable HARD drive is unreadable after the scan and fix. Help!

    I am using a Samsung G2 640 GB drive external HARD USB for the archiving of digital photos and music.

    My desktop computer is running that win7 Pro 32-bit. Pentium E6500, 2 GB of RAM DDR3, 640 GB SATA HARD drive.

    No problem, until that the message "Analyze and difficulty" arose one day.

    What do I know? Just a simple user, not a WinGuru, so I allowed him to go forward.

    Now, my files, folders & the Samsung access are no longer works.

    When the USB is connected, I get a prompt that indicates WHAT FORMAT is required.

    Well, I'm not so distraught as to format a drive where I want to save my data, so

    No FORMAT has been done on the drive.

    I tried to run chkdsk from the cmd line, also without success.

    When I right click on properties (the disc appears on CP) it shows

    available 0 bytes and 0 used bytes.

    Why, oh why Windows chooses to give me such pain.

    Your drive has failed, you can try the recovery of third party software, or you can send the drive to a data recovery specialist.

    Msg scan & fix meant that a problem was detected and the software was trying to fix, and obviously he couldn't

  • USB 3.0 hard drive "Unknown device" After sleeping

  • Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

    Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
    After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

    I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
    Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

    When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
    I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

    Hello

    Tecra S3 supports RAID.
    In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

    The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
    It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

    You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
    Google for nLite for more details.

  • Can not turn HARD drive restore or create the restore on Satellite A135-S4727 disc

    Hello

    I have an A135-S4727 (Pentium dual core, 2 GB of ram, windows vista, 160 GB HDD).
    Recently, I decided to use my HARD drive recovery funtion to restore OTB ' cos I wasn't satisfied
    the way I use my hard drive.
    My system did not come with a recovery disk and recovery disc creator software (I checked it when I arrived but)
    has been re-insured by the fact that the hidden partition has been and is still intact)
    I just thought that I would start from the hard drive recovery console, whenever I needed.
    I tried to do this for always (now pressed zero, hit) but it boots to windows in any case.

    I am so angry and frustrated rite now ' cos I am out of warranty and do not know why I should come on a forum to find a way to restore my laptop.
    I googled the web for 2 days now and nothing other than similar complaints found...
    Toshiba... (X-)
    The right and the ability to restore its system is a given... (unless you plan to charge us a pc falls down for reasons every time you guys don't even know most of the time)

    Please someone end to this nightmare and tell me what to do and how...

    Boyfriend sorry but to be honest I put t understand you complaint;
    The newest series of laptops is not delivered with the recovery disk but is equipped with Toshiba HDD recovery option.
    This option can be used to retrieve the laptop computer from the HARD disk, and there is also an option to create the recovery disk.
    This recovery disk can be used if something goes wrong with the HARD drive or partition from the image on the HARD drive.

    It s highly recommended to create the recovery DVD!
    And this info is in the manual of the user who is always pre-installed on the laptop!
    I also found this info here in the user manual that can be consulted online on the Toshiba page we (the Satellite A135-S4727 is a laptop in US)

    Check it out here * 56, page of the user guide: *.
    [Satellite A135-S4727 Manual: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1757708& rpn = PSAD0U & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663 & odel selM = 1757708% 7CPSAD0U #]

    Here you will find details how to create the recovery disk.
    I put t know how you manage a unit bought new but if I buy a new device, then the first I do is consulted the user manual that comes with this device.

    In any case; I think you can order a new disc of recovery of the ASP in your country

    I'm looking for the key to the installation?

    I can in the future, faced with this situation. I hope someone can help me.

    Best regards

    I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
    If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

    Hello:

    If you are in a hurry and want to install W7 before your recovery disks are shipped to you, you can download the version of windows 7, which has been installed on your PC and is indicated on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC.  For example, if windows 7 Pro came with your laptop and is indicated on your COA sticker, you can download the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of windows 7 Pro in language comes with your PC, and use the 25-character product key on your COA to activate the software.

    You must use the language of the operating system that comes originally installed on the PC or the product key will not work.

    You will need a program capable of burning ISO to DVD files, burning, so that the DVD is bootable DVD.

    Then just go to the support for your laptop and driver page to download and install the drivers you need.

    Link to all versions of W7. These are real files to Microsoft.
