IMac restarts or shut down normally

I have a problem with my Imac where I won't shut down or restart (it begins to process then stalls after that applications disappear on the home screen). I tried to reboot in safe mode. Can anyone suggest a fix for this mess?

What happens when you try to reset the PRAM as directed by the iMac SMC and reset the PRAM?

  • Unable to restart or shut down Windows when a USB modem is connected to the computer

    When I plug a USB modem, either 3 G or dial-up, my computer will restart or shut down. It complements the normal stop the procedure, but instead of actually put back in power, the screen becomes black and stay like that. After a manual stop, Windows reports that he is recovered from a serious error. I have had this problem since I first installed Windows Vista about half a year ago. When there are no modems connected to the computer, it restarts and stops normally. In addition, printers and USB flash drives appear not to cause to happen.

    No idea how I could solve this problem? Thank you.

  • Windows 8 on Bootcamp. Kernel_security_check_failure regular on restarts and Shut Downs.

    MacBook Pro 13 retina

    8 GB RAM

    Bootcamp 5.0.5033

    Windows Fresh 8 upgrade from fresh Windows 7

    Hello

    I've been using Boot Camp for several months, running Windows 7 on my Mac. I need extend partition, so I decided to uninstall the Windows 7 partition (using Boot Camp on a Mac), then reinstall Windows 7 on a freshly prepared partition. Who had finished I immediately upgraded to Windows 8.

    I installed the Boot Camp of support software, and as far as I can tell all my drivers are up to date.

    However, every time I restart or shut down the computer, I get a BSOD with Kernel_security_check_failure. I tried to study it using WinDbg, but all this can point to what is NTKRNLMP.exe which shows that it is caused by something else, and it is not clear what.

    I tried to go through this process twice, so I'm on my second fresh install in Windows 8 now.

    There is no other problems at all on Mac or Windows, it is not never failed except when it restarts.

    I ran a memtest with no problems found.

    I have about this problem over the past months, I have been using Windows 7

    The only time I saw it crash not was when it was connected to an external monitor which leads me to believe it's a problem with the display driver. I tried all the drivers from the Boot Camp, Windows update software and update the Intel utility display and none of them solve the problem.

    Any help or this point troubleshooting tips would be MUCH appreciated and I would be interested to hear if someone has the same problems.

    Thank you!

    Can you zip the minidump in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder files and (provide link) available via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

    The following link has information about the use of Windows Live SkyDrive:

    If you have problems to compress the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the desktop

    In addition, you do not necessarily have compress the minidump files, you can download one at a time.

  • When the Active Server is shut down normally, the passive server does not start the service

    Hi friends,

    I have a question for the vCenter heartbeat,

    When the Active Server is shut down normally, the passive server does not start the service.

    Is this normal?

    Thank you.

    He starts the services on the passive server because the correct judgment still leaves the server active as being the "main".

    Stop all services of it properly. And after it comes back online replication starts as before, so that no service must be started on both servers. (in this case that you will have questions)

    Please note that on a server computer, you have 2 possibilities to "stopping down": the BONE and the option of status and control of the server Vcenter Heartbeat

    See you soon!

  • iMac will not shut down or restart...

    I have an iMac 27 "end 2012, running El Capitan 10.11.5 and since the last update to version, it will not shut down or restart. I tried unplugging the power for about 10 minutes, but that didn't work... any notice or is this just a glitch in the latest update?

    Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

    As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

    Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

    After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.

  • iMac won't restart or shut down after having been 10.11.5

    He said title. My iMac was fine before the update came through yesterday. I went to reboot tonight because the RAM used was realllllly high and I thought a solid reboot after update from yesterday could be a good thing (don't ask why - just my logic)... and surprise! -He has authorized the menu bar and leave viewfinder, but would not closed at all. I could always use the dock to load and use applications. I saw another thread that mentions deleting stuff from Wacom. I went and emptied all of my items found from Wacom. Still will not be closed. I have reset several times VRAM. I can do a forced shutdown, and he'll sleep ok. Activity monitor shows nothing super weird, even if it always shows Wacom and Tablet drivers running.

    Anyone else running into this? Or have an idea?

    Please?

    Hello..

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an OS X day or level.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

  • Satellite A300-1EC cannot load the OS and restart just /shuts down

    Can you help me with my problem of A300 PSAG0Elaptop.

    This is the case:
    before that I can still use my laptop normally without plugging the power cord but when plug the source ca the unit restarts all of a sudden. I charge the battery only when the unit is off. And now the worst case gets when I installed the recovery disk hoping would solve the problem. I can no longer load the operating system; It's just loading then it does not load and suddenly shuts down and sometimes simply frozen. I have not tried the safe mode, mode ahci, system recovery, system repair, and stil no chance.
    I brought this already at the center of ASP service and they demanded almost 1 unit brand new laptop for repair of my laptop is not advisable to send them to repair.
    I doubt that my system bios is not compatible with my vista Home premium OS, or perhaps my wife update of the bios that is not compatible in windows update. My current bios I checked is 1.4

    Given that I have no option instead of junking my laptop, I want to update or back to the original settings of the bios that can help to repair my device.
    Can you help me on how to update or revert to the original my system bios? As I can't access the windows can you teach me step by step using the usb port of my camera on system bios update? Or do you have any suggestions?

    Need help bad

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all, the BIOS can only be updated Windows System. There is no other version that you can download on the site Web of Toshiba.

    But I doubt that this problem is caused by the BIOS. It s I knew not that it is possible to change certain values which make impossible Windows installation. With other words BIOS is secure and with all the settings, it should be possible to install Windows.
    An alternative you can press F9 in BIOS to load the default settings. That would be the best option.

    But according to your assignment, if Windows installation of recovery disc doesn t work and you are not able to charge the battery while the laptop is turned on it seems to be a hardware malfunction because seriously it has nothing to do with the software.

    So either come you into contact with the ASP to get the repaired device or you can repair yourself with original spare parts with parts ASP or second-hand on eBay or similar platforms.
    Of course, you can buy a new laptop: in case the motherboard would be defective because the motherboard is very expensive spare part, it would be the best choice in my opinion.

    It seems after I did a disc clean up around an update of the system of MS, I started having sites is not responding message 'updating of web page' and other this same message if I do not know
    "Windows Explorer has stopped working, wait, restart or close the program.  What is the cause?  I don't have a Vista disk... it came with my HP dv5 Pavilioin.

    If anyone has any ideas... Please help...

    Thank you

    I told you to do many things. What you have tried and what you are still trying (if we can get a happening of todo list and I can check it)? Have you managed to find the results of chkdsk?

    Copy and paste so the formatting is good. It is a single line. If you get an error message, you can copy it by right-clicking in the window, choose the brand, by selecting the text, and press ENTER.

    There are communes of false positives of SFC so do not assume that something is actually corrupted until we see what files it complains. Settings.ini, desktop.ini, tcpmon.ini and ending with mof files are false positives.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted.
     
    To see if there
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more
