HP pavilion i5-n040us: shutdown problems

Hello. Pls I upgraded my hp pavilion i5-n040us
Windows 8 to 8.1. Since then, I can't stop. When I do, the screen becomes dark, but not off, and the power button stays on.the same black screen when it enters hibernation. Pls I need help.
Thank you.

Hello

Try disabling the Windows 8.1 hybrid start - you can do the following.

Right-click in the battery icon in the taskbar, and select Power Options.

Click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close windows open and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon in Start Menu, select (Admin) command prompt and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

Shutdown /s /t 0

Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if it is now shut down properly in the Start Menu.

If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

Kind regards

  • Pavilion p6210y - sudden shutdown problem?

    I have a new p6210y, running Windows 7, it is about 30 days old... I've been making stops unexpected when you do things like syncing to iTunes with my Touch or running a backup to an external HARD drive.  I get a blue screen for about 2-3 seconds... and then it stops and restarts.  I did some research and most of the things I've read point to driver issues.  I check for updates all my drivers on the HP site and on the Nvidia site, and everything seems to be current.  I can't quite read everything on the blue screen, but I take one line stating something like "nvxxxxxxx.sys" (x means that I don't remember what the letter) but the part "nv" made me think it had something to do with the video card from Nvidia, but I don't see any updated drivers.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I proceed?

  • Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

    Hello everyone

    I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

    Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

    First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
    Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

    First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

  • NB200z shutdown problems

    I am running XP service pack 3 with the NB200-z. This anomaly is intermittent, so it happens _most_ of the time, but not always (it does not seem to the use of a particular program in an obvious way).

    During the shutdown to the bottom/hibernation or switch mode Eve anyway (closing the lid, pressing the power button / stop or start menu) it will close Explorer and all running programs and make it appear a window saying "prepare to stop" (or never, what state he's going in) and it just stays there. The mouse moves, so it did not freeze completely. By pressing ctrl, alt, del fails to bring up the Task Manager, so I don't see what is going on. At this point, my only option seems to be down the power button until the machine turns off.

    Sometimes it will go beyond this point and the window disappears but it crashes and then completely on a blue background Uni where the same mouse cursor will not move. At this stage even once, I have to hold the power button until it turns off.

    There are times where it will happen normally tap down and all the other computer functions seem to work very well?

    I have looked around online to see if anyone else has this problem too, but have found no solution. Microsoft offers online that I disable the drivers one by one and keep close to see if it is a driver but I know it is damaging my HARD drive every time I turn off manually so I do not know what to do. I stopped him fine mode safe but it sometimes will vanish so fine...

    I thought it's maybe someone knows of a recorder of closure that I can use to debug with? If I had a newspaper what file it broke so I could replace or remove the file?

    Thanks a lot for your help :)

  • HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX overheating and thermal shutdown problem

    HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX under Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    I had problems with this computer from the beginning, to be honest.  But now the situation is unbearable.

    I can't go even 30 minutes making the slightly intensive tasks involving the graphics card
    (Like the game in low detail, do a rendering/CS/CAD work) without thermal shutdown due to a problem of overheating as a result of misplaced fan. and the fan on this thing is very very strong, even in low market (another downside of this model, but it's not the point).

    SpeedFan shows average at 90 c CPU and GPU Temp about 65 ° c temp. Even when doing absolutely nothing (like now). What does really serve to accumulate all these heat? solve the world huger?

    I tried to clean the vents, use the Compressed Air used an expensive Cooler Fan, reinstalled Windows and other drivers HP and demand several times now. and I exhuasted.

    Then. Help? Anyone?

    Hello Opscsd.  I understand you are having some problems with the closing of overheating and/or random downs.

    How long have you had this laptop?  It is still under warranty?

    The fan makes a noise of rattling sound similar to what you would expect if the fan was loose or is it simply "strong"?

    You have ensured that you have the latest version of the BIOS?  You said you updated the drivers and applications so I assure you.  I think it's the latest BIOS for your laptop.

    I would also make the built in Diagnostics for hardware (RAM and hard drive because they both can cause similar symptoms).  This will help narrow down the cause.  If you don't know how to do these tests take a look at this document.  Be sure to view the results.

    I will keep an eye out for your answer.  I wish you a great weekend!

  • Pavilion 17F061us: power supply problems

    Yesterday I noticed that my laptop is running on battery power, even if we connected it with the adapter/power cord. If we unplug the power cord from the battery is exhausted and visualizes time on battery.  While we have plugged into the wall it still shows on the battery, but it does not destroy.  She remains stable at the current level of battery power (ex: all day yesterday, it was plugged in and showed the other 70%.)  To do this, not fees, but also not to lose more power.  When I unplugged the power cord battery power starts flowing as expected.  The box on the adapter cord feels slightly warm, will be especially warm before this current problem.  Taking wiggles but only slightly and waved to does not affect the power somehow.  I shutdown, removed the battery and tried restarted with the power supply cord is plugged in, it does not start.  I am currently planning to order a new power cord/adapter charger but not sure that this is the problem.  Is anyway to know if it's decision and not the wrong other than exclude with a new shot cord cord?   Also, is there anything else I may be missing it could be?

  • HP Pavilion m4-1001TX: startup problems

    Hello! My laptop is a HP Pavilion m4-1001TX. Recently, I updated my Windows laptop, 10 OS. Subsequently, I met problems white screen, which was resolved by resets hard (as suggested by various forums).

    A week ago, I met the same problem. However, I tried the suggestions (from hard reset, external LCD screen, BIOS recovery, for re-allocation of places the memory module). Whenever I start it, I can hear the hum of the fan 3 seconds, but then everything is silent. The power button and LED f12 button is down as well.

    Once again, Hello.

    So my laptop will not initialize correctly for about a month and a half, which led me to use my tablet.

    Anyway, it took me a long time before deciding to disassemble my laptop. Because ultimately, I could so he had repaired, I tried to check his parts. Verification of entrails, the fan is full of dust.

    After cleaning, the laptop worked properly. (FINALLY.)

    so for you guys, try troubleshooting step by step made by HP. However, if these things didn't work and your laptop is probably a year or two and you haven't cleaned his fan, you might as try though clean it by compressed air or disassembled.

    Disassembly, check the code of product in your laptop and search for it on HP Media tab. The research would generate some links, one of them showing a manual on how to disassemble the laptop properly. Follow these steps carefully.

    I hope this post helps you on about the start-up problems.

    NOTE: Disassembly for me is my last choice, so DO NOT REMOVE IT unless YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IT.
