"operations are underway. Please wait. The machine switches off automatically '-system never stops.

Sometimes, when to stop Vista, instead of a normal shutdown, I get quite common background and a message reading: "operations are underway. Please wait. The machine switches off automatically. "The system then continues to run indefinitely, and I finally have to do an emergency stop. After the reboot, I then most of the time have to do a restore to an earlier point; Once in a great while, he'll tell me the test stops abnormally and charge really. Tried to figure what could be causing it and can't find a logical reason. Diagnosis never found anything, but there is not really anything in the windows which diagnosed something as a shutdown of the system.  Help.  It's boring.

Hi Baron Stewart,

(1) since when are you facing this problem?

(2) remember to make changes?

Method 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the mouse and keyboard and then try to stop

If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

Method 2:  Select the boot and then check if the problem persists

Follow step 1 in the link below,
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.


Important:
n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

Method 3: check the logs in Event Viewer for more information on this problem

Open event viewer

    Hi Neal1209,

    The "powersuite" should have an option to restore certain registry errors that it finds. Is it possible that you can restore them? It may be possible that in this case it is actually deleting files that are required for Windows and believes are redundant or contains errors.

    My system configuration: Windows 7, 64-bit Intel Core i7 - 3770 k CPU 3.50 GHz 16.0 GB RAM ATI RADEON 4800 series

    This could be caused by a defective monitor profile.

    As a diagnosis too, l and, possibly, a temporary solution, try to set the monitor to sRGB profile.

    If this solves the problem, you need to calibrate the monitor with a standard material.

    This will create a new profile that accurately describes your monitor.

    Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl, and then press ENTER.

    Add the sRGB profile, and then set as default profile.

  • Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

    I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

    I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

    If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

    Let's see what you can do about it.
    Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
    When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

    I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

    Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
    In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

    What do you think?

    Open your e-mail program > at the top menu bar click file > clickwork offline.
    Now go in your out box folder, see if something is stuck in there. There must be some. Delete them.

  • How to stop the circle of blue on the mouse pointer when the machine turns off

    Regarding Photosmart 5510e printer all in one product No.CQ183B... Model No.B111h... Serial number {content removed}

    Cannot get rid of the attatched blue circle to the pointer of the mouse when the computer is turned off, because it is the noisiest printer that I have ever bought, it even guard the neihgbours awake. Thers seems there have much the same complaint of the HP printer owners concerning the blue circle. Advice please, thank you jh

    Most likely the computer is looking for the printer for features such as Scan computer and alerts the ink. Disable these features should stop the blue circle of projection. Double-click the printer on the desktop icon to open the Printer Wizard. Double-click the ink level chart found at the top of the window. Click the Advanced tab. Under Alerts ink make sure the box "only when I print" is selected, and then click close at the bottom of the window. Double click on manage the Scan of the computer. Click on disable. Close all open windows. This should stop the computer from looking for the printer when it is turned off. Let me know what happens.

  • The effects turns OFF automatically

    Regularly after 2/3 days effects (when opening application it is effect type zoom to open the application or at the opening of the iphone lock) turns off automatically. Also during the opening of multitasking or any application. After you restart the iphone, it resolved for 1/2 days. And yet, the question arises after 2/3 days.

    This problem is coming into my iPhone via ios 9 now plowing 9.3.1

    We can show in pictures how effect stops. So I can not download.

    First, try a forced reboot. Obviously, you will need to wait a few days to see if his works. It will affect all the data.

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    If the forced reboot does not fix it, try this. Reset all the settings. You won't lose any data, but all the parameters of the device will have to be entered again in the settings app. This includes the WiFi network passwords, settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

  • Equium A100-027: can not get the screen turns off automatically in Vista

    Hello

    Got one of the new A100-027 of the load with Vista a couple of weeks. I can't get the screen to stop automatically when the appliance is left unattended. Standard windows screen saver or power options makes no difference. The screen is always on when I get back to the schedule of the machine later, I don t want to put a 'sleep' mode because the machine is internet access.

    In desperation I changed the option to close the display does not go into mode 'sleep', but it would be nice if the screen would make her s auto off, instead of having to close the screen every time.

    Thank you very much
    Chris

    A bit of an update, I found the screen stops automatically in normal conditions. But then, I leave the computer running a program of file sharing peer-to-peer on the net that he will not cut the screen down. Even minimize the program doesn t allow the screen to close.

  • How and when the computer turns off automatically?

    Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

    She is set to 5 minutes, but does not work.
    Even the screen saver is not relied on as planned

    I tried a hard reset, update windows 8.1 for the update later, all the driver but still does not.
    haven't tried many tips on the net so no luck.

    But for the toshiba on the login page, the screen never turn off.
