My computer turns on by itself
So, today I went out and I hibernated my computer before leaving. When I came back in about 3 hours later, I discovered he had turned on by itself. I had this problem before. Help, please. My computer is computer Toshiba laptop with windows 7 installed. Also I had avira as antivirus, but the two firewalls in this product and my windows firewall got disabled so I had MSE and sometimes it is disabled and I have to turn it back on. Help, please.
To find out what last device brought a PC from hibernation, you might try the following in a command prompt window.
powercfg /lastwake
Note: this works on vista not sure about win7.

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.

Why my WIFI on my computer turns off by itself and won't turn it on?
I have a Dell Inspiron e1505 with windows XP home. My internet works fine. I have the latest drivers for my computer. But my WI - FI goes off without reason and won't turn on, so I have to restart the computer. When this produces the sound on my computer also starts to act "weird."

My computer turns off by itself.
I took the back cover off the computer and blew all the dust around the fans, without success. Someone knows why this happens? The Tower just completely stops without warning. It would work very well for hours then stop down as if someone pulled the plug. Sometimes, it can be just a few minutes and stops. Someone at - it never of this experience and if so, what was the result? Any help would be appreciated.
It may be a faulty power supply, it may be a faulty fan, run it with the side cover and watch fans, if they all work when it stops, then it's probably the power supply.

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.

Satellite L750 turns on and turns off by itself using Linux
Today, I had some strange behavior on my laptop. It closes unexpectedly, after showing a dialog box saying "your computer will stop in 60 seconds". And then when I turn it back on, it stops just before the start and it turns on by itself after a few seconds.
It not too much heat, the CPU temperature is normally between 50 - 60 c (I constantly monitored using Conky). In addition, someone told me to upgrade the BIOS, so I did it, but the problem persists. I also tried to replace the RAM and run a memcheck, but everything looks good on the side of the memory.
I use linux and had a look on ' / var/log/syslog ", but I'm not sure that I know exactly what to look for. Messages saved before you stop do not seem to describe something suspicious.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but it seems that the problem is more hardware related and I would like to study what are the causes stop randomly. The same thing on Windows, but there is no warning before stopping.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L750-11w.Clues would be greatly appreciated.

You have verified the functionality of the laptop using the Windows system, but have you used the Toshiba recovery disc and have you tested with factory settings?
I m wondering about the message: your computer will shut down in 60 seconds
If this would be a hardware problem, then the laptop would be closed without any warning messages.
So I guess there must be a software problem, I guess that some triggers for setting this automatic valve downwards.
But to be honest, I have no idea of what parameters can beIf you think that its hardware problem, I guess only a laptop computer technician would be able to help you.

Pavilion dv6 Wireless turn off by itself
Pavilion dv6 1140ew with Windows 7. Each drivers are up-to-date. The system has been reinstalled recently so no virus is present.
And that is the problem. The computer turns off randomly wireless features. The blue light on the Power button tab will become Orange, as it has been disabled manually. I can't turn it on again for a while. Sometiems, it requires a reboot to re - activate. I found no specific reason why it happens. There is no model when it occurs. Sometimes during a movie, when the internet is not used at all. Sometimes during a game, online when it is certeinly. It takes 10 minutes to 2 hours to reactivate itself.
Would appreciate any help, as it is very frustrating.
Hello Schanez,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.
I understand that your wireless network is disabled and you want to prevent from happening. I'm you provide a document from HP support:laptops HP - Setup to solve Internet connection problems on a wireless network with Windows 7 and, which contains steps to help you solve this problem. I would focus on turn it off device power management section of the options I have installed wireless on below:
Most wireless devices can be configured to turn off the power to reduce the drain on battery power. This is usually not a problem when the laptop is connected to an AC adapter. However, during battery operation, the adapter can be turned off to save energy. To disable this power setting, follow these steps.
- Click on start and enter the device in the search box, and then select Device Manager from the list.
- Double-click network adapters to lengthen the list, do a right click on the adapter for wireless (WiFi) in the list and select Properties.
- In the map properties window, click the power management tab, and then deselect allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.
Close Device Manager, restart the laptop and trying to reconnect to the wireless network.
Please re-post if you need extra support. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
