Unable to shutdown computer.

Hello

I wonder why my PC did not turn off when I used normally close before.
my PC specs: P4, 2 GB RAM, win XP OS.
I run TuneUp utilities and command "chkdsk" in the BACK, it actually works, but after 1 or
2 days, same problem. Can you tell me the reason and the solution for this
problem?

Thank you.

  • Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

    Hello
    I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

    Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

  • When I shutdown computer it stays on

    When I try to shut down my computer, the power stays on I have to actually push the button. is there a solution? Thank you for advice or info!

    Shutdown problems are usually caused by a program or process that won't come out gracefully. The program or process may be against malware, or may be legitimate (for example a pervasive like Norton or McAfee antivirus). If you use Norton or McAfee product, uninstall it and replace it with a better program like NOD32, Kasperksy or Avast (free). The Windows Firewall is enough for most people. Shutdown problems can also be caused by old/badly written drivers so make sure that all drivers are updated, especially on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    A.the first step should always ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    B. If the computer is free of viruses/malware, the drivers are current, and no program Norton or McAfee is installed, then do boot minimum troubleshooting to see what program/process is the culprit:

    Hello Michele,.

    Refer to: start your computer in safe mode

    Why my computer does not turn off?

    Programs sometimes prevent Windows to close properly. When this happens, the screen darkens and Windows indicates which programs prevent the computer from closing, and sometimes why.

    The dark screen displays two buttons: Force shutdown and cancel. Clicking Force shutdown closed all programs, closed the windows and then turns off your computer. If you click this button, you may lose all of the work that you have not saved, so if you need to save files, click Cancel to return to Windows and save your work.

    Occasionally, you will need to stop manually a program is not responding.

  • Unable to boot computer after several attempts

    Earlier this year, I bought a Dell with Windows 8 is already installed.  I don't know where the disks are supplied with the computer.  Recently, I was unable to boot my computer.  I restored to factory settings, updated it, restored to an earlier point, and now it does nothing.  Sometimes I was able to connect and it works fine.  Then, I stopped him and I don't and then sign up again next time.  Right now, it is not yet running the auto repair.

    So, anyone have any suggestions or know what I have to do because I really want my computer to work.  If I can't connect, is there anything I should do?  How can I avoid this happening again?

    Almost certainly, it came with none. Instead it came with a recovery
    partition.

    Recently, I was unable to boot my computer.  I restored to factory settings.

    Using the recovery partition?

    refreshed, restored to an earlier point, and now it does nothing.

    Unless you are having a hardware problem, you probably screwed
    something in these steps upward. Exactly what you were doing and how?

    Sometimes I was able to connect and it works fine.  Then, I stopped him and I don't and then sign up again next time.

    That looks a lot like a hardware problem. Maybe overheating.
    supply failure, hard drive, motherboard, RAM or something else.

    Right now, it is not yet running the auto repair.

    He must still be under warranty, and you should probably get Dell to
    see what is the problem.

  • Spectrum x 360: with shutdown computer (spectrum x 360) battery Drain

    Hi guys.

    I have a problem, I just bought a new spectrum x 360 and the battery is dripping after perfom a FULL stop and COMPLETE (no sleep or hibernation). After 10hs I lost 8% of battery, all drivers are up to date as well as the BIOS.

    I had this problem with my Lenovo Yoga 3 11, and after updating the BIOS, I have corrected. I've read it seems to be a problem with W10 and some drivers, but not all laptops there.

    Guys, any idea?, by the way, I already disable the fastboot which seems to be a solution in the same case, but not in mine.

    Thank you!!!

    I found the solution, I have BIOS there is an option which is enable, is one that provides energy to your USB devices, even if the computer is off.

    After you turn off this feature the drain stopped, I had a mouse receiver pluged in...

    Thank you

  • Unable to turn computer and Windows 7 updates

    Hello

    Earlier today, my computer has the latest updates for Windows 7 installed on it, I believe that those who have a Service Pack of Windows 7, and now when I push the power button on the computer, it will be impossible to turn on.  Is updates, that the reason why the computer has failed.  It was working fine this morning with no sign of problems.

    If the computer isn't able to turn it on, it's sounds more likely to be a problem with the power button or power.

  • Cannot shutdown computer

    Whenever I try to shut down my computer, I get a message saying that Outlook is open, even if I already closed Outlook.  I checked Task Manager and Outlook was permanently closed. The open only option seems to be to force a stop down.  When I do this the computer starts "logout".  Eight hours later he's still "logout".  In the end, the only way I can close my pc is to press the off button.

    EDIT:

    I also have problems with Microsoft Outlook, and I think that these two problems are related.  Most of the time Outlook works fine, but computer will fade and say "not responding". I have to go into the Task Manager and close. When I try to open it again, it never progresses beyond the stage of loading.

    Thanks for your help.
