My Windows 7 closed down my computer, - completely unexpected - se?

Hi everyone.

It happened completely without ANY reason, - NO error -, no blue screen, - want you to tell ME what it is and what exactly I need to do about it?

Thank you in advance!

Well, - I'll check, - thank you!

-Who was it?

  • Stop instantly - no quick and not obvious warning sign?
  • Close properly, closing programs and closing of things to stop Windows?

Former - material most likely.  Could be the power or defective material.

Latter - software.  Possible malware infestation.

If the former - update the BIOS of your system, make sure that you have good CLEAN power to your computer (APR-battery backup UPS Technology is a good start) and run a complete diagnosis of the material - especially on your memory and the hard drive.

If the latter...

    On locking computer get the message: "the 0X012e8 statement referenced to fffffff is not found,"

    Something that you have running in the background is a failure. You must make systematic troubleshooting to find out what it is.

    The first step is always to ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.

    If the machine is clean, you can manage your Startup to see what works with Windows:

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  • Windows 8 closed do not turn off the computer.

    Hello

    I got windows 7 64 bit and everything worked fine, after the upgrade to windows 8, I had to update some drivers that was expected.  I remember very well not have problems during shut down my computer, I would choose Shut down and my computer would be closed and turned off as it should. Is that after a few weeks of running Windows 8 when a started problem where my computer wouldn't turn itself turned off after windows stops. I thought that maybe do a complete reset fresh windows 8 could solve the problem, but after reinstalling everything that I still have the same problem where my computer not power off. I tried disabling "quick start" to update my BIOS of motherboard.

    Anyone else have a similar problem that they were able to fix?

    I SOLVED MY PROBLEM!

    It turns out that there is a CMOS bug with my motherboard.  What I did to solve this problem is I have reset the settings in my BIOS AND I cleared the CMOS to its default (see the manual of the motherboard manufacturer for instructions on how to reset the CMOS settings), for mine, I used a jumper.

    Now, my computer stops correctly and goes off as it is supposed to.

    Hello!

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to get my machine to boot successfully. Nothing changes when I choose Safe Mode, last known good Configuration, enable VGA Mode, booting, Directory Services Restore Mode or Debug Mode logging.

    It's very stressful, because I'm right smack dab in the Middle a semester at the College. I have most of what I currently need access to supported illuminates... but not quite all :( It is also very reassuring to be able to take care of the school of work away from the library of the University. Yesterday, my computer was working fine... I think that Windows has completed an update, if I can't remember now. As I woke up this morning, I was not able to boot all the way to Windows only once.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6000 running XP Media Center, and I have not installed new hardware since I bought the machine about 3 years ago.

    Here are more details, where they can help in the diagnosis of my problem:

    • ID of the system board: 30BB
    • Type of processor: Genuine Intel(r) CPU T2250
    • Processor speed: 1730 MHz
    • Total memory: 1024 MB
    • Video memory up to: 128 MB
    • BIOS version: F.06

    Here's the entire message to the blue screen:
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

    Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0X805C49B8, 0XF7A172B4, 0 X 80000003, 0XF7A16FB0)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I also learned to a blue screen that says something about "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I think that this happens when I try to start safe mode.

    Also, I never did much with computer problems beyond what could be repaired with the restoration of the system... so not being is not able to boot at all me has to stop. Please, I beg you! Help me?!

    With great appreciation for your time,.

    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

    I look forward to receiving your response.

    Thank you

    Neil Clark.
