  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

You probably have Wake On LAN on 'active' in the BIOS and have something updating at 03:00. It is, for example, the default for Windows Update. To disable the Wake On LAN feature, go into your BIOS.

  • Date system resets to 2002 after a stop during the night

    I have a Dell Dimension 4550 with XP operating system purchased in 2002. Computer work fine except after having turned it off during the night resets date and time system in 2002. After resetting in the configuration screen, it will keep the date until I stop from one day to the next one up to 2002. The error message only in the file is The Core Services service AG could not start due to the following error. The system does not find the specified path, how can I fix this problem

    When the system date and time are incorrect, then is a good indication that the battery on the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    the battery from the motherboard is also known under the name of the cmos battery and the bios battery.

    There are instructions on the net how to replace.

    most of the time its pretty simple to replace and the battery can be purchased where they sell watch batteries.

    You can remove the battery and get the model number or search for it in the manual of your computer or your manual online computers at its place of origin.

  • Mac Air drains almost zero during the night when the laptop is closed.

    In the morning a few last that I was wake up an empty battery and I were not able to find a reason why. For example, last night, I have to close to 33% and earlier this morning it is 2%. My laptop used may use one/zero to 100 during the night, so I don't know what it is.

    The laptop isn't a deal and is closing completely. During the closure, it is either not sleep or something it is waking up. I looked at the activity monitor and nothing takes too much energy (but something could stay while it is supposed to sleep, but I don't know if there is a way to check that).

    I'll leave it open tonight and just push sleep in the menu apple tonight and see how it works. Even if it works, I wish I could just shut up because this is supposed to be able to do.

    Also, I recently downloaded Skype plugin and it's, it's the only change I made in the time this problem started, which may have something to do with it.

  • My computer fills up during the night with 50 GB of additional storage used. Why would he do that?

    I have a 500 GB hard drive. He "filled." 0 bytes left. I bought an extra external hard drive and have installed 250 GB on the new hard drive. I did NOT use the computer during the night. In the morning, the original hard drive was new. Why would he do that?

    I suggest you use a utility like the size of the folder to try to identify where the records are piling up.

    (for example I recently used it to track down a mystery space where it turns out the user contained a diagnostic trace activated accidentally in a safety program that created constant log files in a deeply nested subfolder.)

  • My laptop loses its STARTUP information after it was closed during the night

    original title: STUMPER! My laptop loses its STARTUP information after it was closed during the night?

    I have a problem very intrigueing that I can't understand. I can do a clean install of Vista Ultimate(32 or 64 bit), on my gateway M285 - E Tablet PC. Once it's done and I did not yet updates, if I stop the system at night, I wake up and you try to boot the system and get a blue screen (which finally tells me that my "disk.sys" file is missing. I tried plugging it down in increments to see when this file, in fact, is lost. I stopped for about 1 1/2 hours and it will start fine, but during the night, it won't.

    Then I tried a fresh install and did all the updates available, same thing. I tried to start a "memory test and everything is fine." I even did the memory more intense test (which takes forever, by the way... lol). I also did "chkdsk", as well as all viruses and malware, etc. tests with Norton first Edition.

    I got to the point where I now have 3 separate "disk images" that I created to save time in my software I want to use this system of loading. We're just a clean install, that no update, other clean install available updates. and the last with a clean install with all my software MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite and Autodesk Entertainment and all of their updates.

    I did this for if I'll actually somehow solve this problem I can easily use the "disk image" I want... No...

    Oh yes, I also all my drivers up to date etc.

    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    EDIT:

    Another problem related to this situation, it's the hard drive becomes undetectable, so I have to use a software such as Ubunta starting vehicle, which has its own operating system, so I can actually format my hard drive to start the installation process. (otherwise my Vista installation won the same recognize I have a hard drive, not to mention operating system to try to resolve, such as startup repair, System Restore, etc.)

    I finally figured it... xD is a hard drive diver who has been desgned for WinXP and for some reason any were never changed during the installation of Vista on this system or automatic updates.

    It was actually the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, specifically the Intel SATA AHCI Controller. I used "Driver Whiz/Detective", which would install most drivers via a base file system are integrated.

    The controller AHCI SATA Intel(r) has not, it only downloaded a .zip file that contains the following files:

    IaStor.sys
    iaAHCI.cat
    iaAHCI.inf

    These were to actually be manually installed. "Even if I had downloaded and extracted the files, when I tried to update the driver"Intel SATA AHCI controller"via Device Manager" through the command of newer driver search. It does not always detect it them, stating that I already had the best and latest drivers already installed.

    Then, for some reason that just kept on bothering me, because "Driver Whiz/Detective kept indicating that it was the best version of the driver for my system.

    So, I finally tried to update the drivers manually by specifying exactly where these files are located on my system. Then he finally recognized them and installed them.

    According to me, given that this system is an older model 'Gateway M285-E Tablet PC', even if it is Vista compatible, he has always maintained the operating system higher available for WinXP, through any auto detect in the BIOS. Even in the settings of the BIOS OS I tried assigning 'Other', because the only other options were Win95, Win98, WinMe, Win2000 and WinXP.

    So having not the 'Intel(r) SATA AHCI controller"recognizing a Vista OS after be closed for a period of time, it would try to load a Windows XP operating system, and have failed to do. Strange, but is the only explanation I can offer for her.

    Thanks for the help,

    recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found that my old laptop is very slow during the processing of hundreds of images that I usually take on a weekly basis.  I bought a new faster laptop, but when I looked for the cd with the software of series and I couldn't find in the mess of Christmas.  I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got, it works on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?

    Myron

    If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:

    1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.

    2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.

    3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

    You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.

  • HP Envy 15 t-j1000: HP Envy 15 t-j1000 Select Edition died during the night?

    I tried to start up my HP Envy 15t - j1000 select edition yesterday morning and I get no response what so ever. At first I thought I had left it on the exhaustion of the battery during the night. However, after a lot of troubleshooting (remove the battery and you try to start on the whole, hard reset, try another AC charger, removing RAM Modules and other components) I still can't you it to Sunrise power. The power led next door where my adapter plugs on it used to light either. It's as if the machine of the entry is completely dead, has no sense as long as its been runing perfectly without any problems.

    In addition, it has beats audio, but no button beats on the chassis (as far as I can tell) because I know it's a problem reported causing some laptops with her boot.

    Help, please!

    Hi @DrexLock,

    Thank you for your update.

    I understand you have changed the power button Board and the problem persists.

    The led indicates the power is getting to the laptop. After replacing the power button you know power going to the motherboard, but it seems to stop there.

    The next step would be to replace the motherboard.  Because they tend to be expensive, you can do a price comparison to see if the replacement of the motherboard, or the purchase of a new laptop is the best option for you.

    Good luck!
