Win 7 was just installed and activated.

My computer shuts down on me whenever I do not use it for a little bit. This problem just started. I have windows 7 installed and activated, it about a week and a half ago. Now its telling me I need to save files, and get another copy of Windows 7. What is going on?

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Hello

    The on/off switch actually works?

    Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
    Start - so look at the screen.

    Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
    Re-install of Vista?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    Make sure you know the details of connection to your wireless router - SSID and password.

    Solved! Tried everything in support documents and none of it worked. Frustration massive Adobe Chat staff who knows nothing and just told me to look at the documents of support again and again. They also gave me a phone number in Australia which has a recorde d message saying that the product is not supported! What is everything?

  • Can I sell my windows 7 home basic to others that I have installed and activated?

    I bought windows 7 Home Basic SP. 1. I sell my windows 7 home basic to others that I have installed and activated?

    I want to buy the new windows and I used the update because I want a simple process. The upgrade procedure needs more, not simple.

    Can the buyer install it and activate it to his computer?

    You say you have this:

    "Home Basic 7 Sp 1 64-Bit English 1PK DSP OEI DVD 611 SEA"

    Did you read this part?

    These versions are for small integrators (DSP = 'partners in enforcement service'), which usually contain a single Windows (1pk = 32-bit or 64-bit, not both as in commercial versions) and an OEM preinstallation kit to preconfigure Windows and/or integrate additional tools (OEI = 'Installation of Original equipment' or 'Integration organizational environment'). They have the same limitations that versions OEM = license is tied to the computer where the operating system has been installed initially and not transferable in case of death of the machine.

    If you want to move or to sell the license of operating system or upgrade motherboards in a computer, buy a license at retail in the future.

  • Clean installed and active Windows 8 signed me off every 10 Minutes guest "you are about to be signed within 30 seconds.

    Hi all

    I have reinstalled Windows 8 on one of my Acer laptop which came with OEM Windows 8. Because the key Embedded BIOS, install never asked for a key. After you have installed the wireless network driver, the computer is connected to the internet and glass get immediately activated. However, the system alerted me 'You are about to be signed in 30 seconds' shortly after and rebooted itself.

    I guess it was because that the limitation of the inactive windows (when I connected first of all, I have not get Windows activated due to no internet), so I let it reboot and continue to play with it. But the reboot thing won't go away.

    One thing is that when the system first rebooted itself, no installation or major update does, so I guess that nothing dangerous is done.

    Someone met with such a problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    I tried to restore all starts and start services gradually from the clean boot state.

    What is interesting, is that, after all what can once again, the system is absolutely fine.

    I guess the question was because of the activation process, or a problem a start-up program or service such as a fast storage intel, content etc.

    Thanks for the help, I think I should be fine.
