  • Why my Vista laptop keep locking itself?

    Seriously! I'll take a wild guess and say that it crashes itself at least 4 times during the time it takes to write this message. Once already! That's just it. For most people, screesnsaver lock is equal to one (twice, BTW) timed action. Well, I do not run facial recognition, but all parameters have been set acoordingly, and sometimes I'll even turn off recognition. (3 times, ready to stab it!)

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.

  • Pavilion dv6-3091eo: computer restarts randomly

    Hello!

    So, my computer started to shut itself down and random reboot sometimes freezes and hangs itself without having to restart and I have to turn it off by holding the power button.
    He started with a 0601 error in the newspaper that I changed the cmos battery and the problem seems to have stopped for awhile, I had once a 0305 error, but after that everything seemed normal until I now the random reboot and gel (I get no error code).
    After the Cmos pass I also an everynow ' 502 reset cmos ' and here, but I can always start the computer after pressing ENTER. I updated the bios to the version latest incase it was the bios and the issue is still ongoing.
    When the computer restarts it sometimes reboots with half of my ram just so I have to restart again.

    I think it could be a hard drive problem, but that's assuming only. Even if it passes the quick test, but I'll do the full test today. I can be on the computer without the main dough and only the AC adapter.  (this started to happen just after I had windows 10 don't know if it's a coincidence and I restored it to factory settings once after than to try to fix it)

    Sorry if I've included a lot of information shaped but I wanted to be accurate as possible

    Verification of the errors of the DLG tool indicates that the drive is dying, so even with a the OP goes to the factory back chances are that the issue remains, that's why I suggested to look for a replacement drive.

    I'm sorry mate... Even if you decide to continue using it I recommend you to backup all important where data to another disk or cloud.

  • Computer restarts constantly how he stop?

    Everything was fine last night. Woke up this morning and the computer restarts continually. I am running windows xp. I can restart in safe mode but under normal reboot it keeps just reboot. I tried disk cleanup, defragmentation, System Restore (that never works) system restore.  It took hours to do a recovery, because it would only begin in the process, then it restarts but eventually be obtained throughout recovery and problem is still there. Turn off completely and let stand about an hour started it back up and the problem is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    First you need to understand why it is always set to zero, then you can stop it.

    If you choose to start safe mode, you can choose to start in disable automatic restart on system failure mode so you can see what is happening.

    Here are enough details to help you move forward in the right direction:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If your system uses to work properly, what do you think might have happened to her since the last time, that it did not work properly?

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.
