Windows 7 takes 10 minutes to stop

• Windows 7 takes 10 minutes + close

  Yesterday, our computer has started to do some strange things.

  First of all, when the computer goes into sleep mode, the computer restarts itself. Second, when the computer restarts, it takes a good 10 minutes to stop. Windows closes and the computer leaves the blue screen that says "SHUTTING DOWN".
  Even if I try to shut down my computer regularly by clicking STOP in the menu start, the computer will go through the same process and restart itself and start on the login screen.
  Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
  Thank you

• Start Windows 7 takes 20 minutes

  Hello! I'm having problems starting my computer laptop windows 7. Still, it takes about 20 minutes to load after login on my account. After that 20 minutes (more or less), everything seems back to normal.

  I did already but after restarting system restore, it's always the same thing. I also tried to disable all non-Microsoft services in msconfig and when I rebooted, it is always the same. But I noticed that there is a service that I can not turn off, it is the "common Job Customer Service Manager" of Symantec Corporation that even after disabing it will still work after you apply the new settings.
  What do you think? Please help me. He really loses my time just wait for it to load. Thanks in advance.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

Computer freezes on the windows logo and takes like 20 minutes to start on the screen. After that it starts on the desktop, it does not recognize my DVD player. I tried in safe mode and it freezes on the ClassPNP.sys driver. I have remove the connection from DVD player and the computer absolutely perfect without any probs. I replaced the readers of DVD and also the SATA cable and checked and still find the same problem. Please suggest me as to what can be done to solve this problem.

• Windows 7 takes 6 + minutes to start

  Gerry,

  Thank you for your continued patience and help. I deleted all the "files not found" and unfortunately no results.  I also 'unchecked' all the events highlighted in pink/red, also with no results.

  I guess the next thing is to start to uncheck items 'work' until I found what is the cause?

  Try to uninstall and reinstall your antivirus.

• Put into service takes more than 15 minutes. Stop is worse. It hangs at "closing Windows" regardless of the programs that I run is extremely slowly.

  Original title: start & close problem. Slow response

  My PC is running Window XP SP2. I did all the updates.

  Recently commissioning takes more than 15 minutes. Stop is worse. It hangs at the "closing Windows.
  Whatever programs that I run is extremely slow.
  I ran virus scan, microsoft fixed, but the problem persists.

  Well, I think you don't like it, but the first thing to do is to eliminate by using their special tools Norton Uninstall program:

  https://www-secure.Symantec.com/Norton-support/JSP/help-solutions.jsp?LG=English&CT=United+States&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&PVID=f-home

  Now, you might think I be without protection and get some bad things on my computer, but you just want to see how things are going without it.  Just don't visit WWW stupid or silly sites, where you can pick up some virus or malware and you can always install a new copy, but I think it's a big headache for you now.

  It might be out of date, too many options of protection installed, etc.  More protection is not always better, and you will pay for it in the performance of the system with the more stuff you add.

  Then when Norton is gone, proceed as follows:

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

  Consider instead of Microsoft Security Essentials or Norton - he did a good job.

  We must eliminate what can cause problems, so I'd start with Norton.  You can put it back later if you want, but you need to see how things are going without it.  Moving things to a good operating system that you are happy with first.

  Eliminate potential problems one at a time and test thing out... one thing at a time.

  Symantec/Norton is you biggest problem right now.

  Check your NVIDIA drivers:

  I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

  It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

  Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:
  http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

  Read the instructions, and then click the DRIVERS GRAPHICS button to start scan and answered in the affirmative, if asked to install the plugin required to run the NVIDIA scan.

  Get rid of Norton.

• Windows that open, kind of slow, stop, real slow (2-1/2 minutes) and using a lot of memory-taskmanager

  original title: scanning for dell studio 1737 and recommended bios update

  Hello, generally, I read until I have my answer, but I can't so I think I give it a try. Somehow I screwed things up with my computer. My main complaint is that I have something running that takes a lot of memory according to the Task Manager. My fan runs often, 1-1/2 minute stop time, pop up messages telling me to stop then reload IE9 sp2. I found some stuff on my event viewer, but I can't seem to cross the first error which is something on my bios. I go to the dell website to try to update with a flash of the bios but note comes up saying that my computer does not accept the flash. I have other issues in both event viewer, but can't remember them that I can't get beyond the the bios issue. The computer is a Dell Studio 1737 plenty of core duo memory 4 MB with plenty of space on hard drive and it seems to do well but all the * running in the background makes it run hot so the fan. All I want to do is get a scan for my installed bios system and install an updated version. I am not able to do at Dell. Maybe they want me to pay to support or something. I did all the FixIt of ms, I ran three different registry cleaners, I ran three viruses different scans, nothing. I've loaded my vista dell disk and tried to recover or repair and cannot do it either. I notice weird things with ie. I've done several downloads for versions 32 and 64 bit, to do the right thing. Maybe he has an it is to say the conflict or something. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's related to the fact that my computer takes 1-1/2 minutes to stop, even if it starts normally. I played with it for about a month now and I'm traps at all reading. If I can Flash my bios and get this update, maybe, I'll be able to get then some of the other things go. Here are some tips from the event viewer if anyone has any time for her. $ 1 million for any help thanks! If anyone knows where I can find a site that can digitize to my existing configuration and then recommend the installed updates. Oh, just in case anyone is wondering why I do not pay just for a few servieces for help me, or take it to a computer store, I don't have a job and can not afford it. Believe me. I have many errors saying: the embedded controller (EC) has failed in the specified time-out period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with the manufacturer of your computer for an updated BIOS. In some cases, this error may cause the computer to function properly. And The Office Source Engine service entered the stopped state. Service WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto - Discovery Service entered the running state. The Google Software Updater service entered the running state. The Google software update service entered the stopped state. A total of 60 errors in a single day, for weeks. Thanks again!

  Ok..

  The first task manager...

  Open it and then click the CPU tab until the processes that use most of time processor are grouped at the top of the list.

  The system idle process should be at the top and then maybe three points below that seem to take the time to processort.

  Make a note of them and then look on the Internet that each fact or the program, application or process to which they are linked.

  Forget the event viewer and any reference to it in the BIOS...

  All the * running in the background will not cause it's running more hot so the fan. BUT, you can have installed something knowingly or perhaps inadvertently causing the CPU work all the time. Reference to what I said about the Task Manager. This is where you will find the cause most likely.

  BIOS... How to download and install... taken directly from the Dell support site. No payment at ALL is required. BUT, you probably don't need to do and if you do, it should choose to do so, it should be performed using socket at a time when it will present no risk of a power failure...

  Fact MS Fix - its for what exactly?

  Use of registry cleaners will create more problems than they ever solve. You may well have created one of the issues by running a registry cleaner. Uninstall them as best as POSSIBLE...

  Three viruses different scans? Without doubt completely uninstalled before the installation and execution of another? In addition, what av scanners?

  Many downloads of 32 and 64 bits, what?

  Your computer may take a long time to stop if an open e-mail program is defined on control too frequently, or if a backup utility is configured to check the differences between system and backup is too frequent. In addition, some gadgets can slow down to stop, and USB keys will cause Windows to ensure that there is no process to read/write that run to them before she stops them.

  Flashing the BIOS is not and has never been the panacea for all the ills of the computer and won't solve ANYTHING in your case.

  If you have upgraded from Vista...

  Go to the Dell support site and downlaod driver and install any Windows 7 drivers for your machine other than BIOS. If you enter your number of service on this site...

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=CA&CS=cadhs1&l=en&s=DHS

  you will be presented only with the specific drivers for your machine.

  This should eliminate the errors of the EC.

• Windows 7 takes a long time to stop

  I installed a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit on one of my laptops about three months back. The laptop was brand new at the time. Everything went really smooth. But for the last week I am facing a problem, Windows takes an exceptionally long time to close. Whenever I try to close my laptop, the screen where it says that Windows is waiting for a program to stop with the option 'Force Shut Down'. The weird part is the place where it is supposed to show the program for which Windows expects in the end is empty. Absolutely no program is shown at any time. Even if I chose force closed, written with "Shut Down" screen comes up and the wheel will turn away and it takes about a minute to close. Sometimes, it takes as much as 5 to 8 minutes to stop. Previously he was not even a full 10 seconds to close.

  My laptop is not obstructed by installed apps. Apps only I use is Eclipse, Android, Google Chrome, web browser emulator, VirtualBox to run a copy of Ubuntu and FlashGet to download from the internet.

  All the drivers are installed correctly, as they ran all very well for the last three months. I have a paid Avast Anti-virus installed with paid Malware-bytes. I scan my laptop computer for viruses every two days and keep up-to-date. I keep my Windows updated through Windows Update. I have run the defragmentation of disk once a month. Even after that I encountered this problem, I ran a disk defragmentation. I also run CCleaner once a week. I have not yet installed any new apps until this problem appeared. I can't find something in maybe that could lead to this problem. The boot time for my laptop is really fast and normal. It feels sharp and fast while using it all the time. But the problem is whenever I try to turn it off.

  Computer laptop specifications:

  4 GB OF RAM

  HARD DRIVE 500 GB

  Processor Intel Core i3 3rd - Gen

  Can anyone help me please with this problem? I'm frustrated by that.

• Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D stops itself

  Hi all

  I've had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. Meanwhile, it works normally, sometimes stops himself maye because it was too hot.

  Recently, he tried to install updates to Windows Update, but never successful. I left the computer to update all night and there was 2 of 12 updates... all the time so I always had to shut down the computer by pressing the power button.

  I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically, because every time I tried to do it froze. Most of the other commands became even viewing photos that do not meet.

  It was until my computer could not connect to a certain wireless network, while other devices may I decided to reinstall Windows completely. He was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer closes again!

  I tried to install again and he was arrested again, but I got up in the final phase of the game when I turned it on again, it was always 'finihing the installation may take several minutes. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer. Let him over several hours, but he did not move to a different stage. Before the computer shuts down, I think I arrived at the scene after that.

  I tried to press F8 to start a new installation, but he's only got in this screen.

  What can I do?

  Please help me! Thank you very much in advance!

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  If you are looking for a re installation: -.

  Back up your files before you begin reinstalling Windows 7 if possible, even if you have reinstalled Windows 7 on a hard disk partition, and you have personal files on another partition. For example, if you have encrypted files, you will not be able to access them after reinstalling Windows. A custom installation replaces the current version of Windows 7 and all personal files.

• Satellite U200 getting more slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop

  My U200 becomes slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop! and now it crashes when I try to install the drivers for "Cakewalk Sonar THE"- so I need help.

  I think I need to re - install Windows XP, however, I only got a "recovery disc" with the laptop - which will reformat my hard drive - there no way to reinstall xp without reformatting?

  If I have to reformat-how can I recover my Express Media Player & Norton Protection? -(I bought the laptop in January this year)

  HM, I think that you won´t get around this recovery thing, because I think your system may be heavy software problems.

  Regarding the Media Player and Norton: were they not installed as you bought this machine?
