• Windows 7 will not shut down or restart

  Hi guys, basically for the 3 days since my computer won't shut down or restart. I normally turn off every night and I've never had this problem before. I used the tool to update window update, but it says that it cannot complete the installation until I restart, but obviously I can't do that either.

  I tried to change the power does-that is to say buttons when the laptop closed = stop down. But even that won't work.

  Anyone has any ideas that could help me solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Not sure, but what about the command 'shutdown '? (perhaps with the /r (reboot) option)

• Windows 7 will not shut down or restart my computer. I tried all of the suggestions I've seen previously displayed.

  My computer shuts down fine with Vista (64-bit), but not with Windows 7 (Home Ultimate, 64-bit).  It disconnects me and shows the "Stop" screen, access the drive hard as if he does something, but never closes my computer (or monitor) off the coast.  It's the same thing when I'm saying Windows restart my computer.  I always hold the power button to turn off.  Occasionally, the next time I start up, I get a message saying that the computer has been shut down unexpectly, but usually not.  Although I don't think that this issue is damaging physically my computer, it is still an annoying problem.

  So far I have tried:

  -Modification of the settings in my BIOS ACPI.  I don't have the ability to toggle ACPI, only to change between 1 & 3.  I tried them both.

  -Method of "Clean boot" Troubleshooting Microsoft.  Even with all non-essential services and startup items disabled, I always have this problem.

  -Disable Windows Fax.  Only one had this problem, and so I thought I would give it a shot.  Not good.

  -Another forum suggested turning off the M-Audio card.  Tasted it.

  -Yet another forum suggested changing "power settings" in the device to the IEEE Bus controller Manager 1394, allowing the computer stop the computer, or something in this sense.  I see no option anywhere to change the power settings.

  Suggestions of new, I can add to the list?

  After reading a lot on the forums and tried almost everything, patches, disabeling energy efficient features on IEEE 1394 and usb. He hit me, everything indicates that the acpi on the motherboard and the table mps. Changing from 1.4 to 1.1 in the bios MPS table solves the problem and win 7 shutsdown correctly

• iMac will not shut down or restart...

  I have an iMac 27 "end 2012, running El Capitan 10.11.5 and since the last update to version, it will not shut down or restart. I tried unplugging the power for about 10 minutes, but that didn't work... any notice or is this just a glitch in the latest update?

  Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

  As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

  Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

  After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.

• Computer Vista will not "Shut Down"

  Why is Vista not 'Shut Down' when we try to? The computer gets to that stage and works on and until what we manually turn off the computer.  When we click on Shut Down, the OS disconnects then goes down at the stop, but isn't.  Anyone facing this problem.  It is found on all 3 computers OS Vista

  Also, when updates Windows tries to install computers work for too long at a time in the mode of installation on the same day.
  Don't know if they are related.
  Thanks for the tips.

• New laptop will not shut down or restart completely

  I have very recently (last week) got a new laptop Acer Aspire E 15 Touch, but I can't seem to stop or restart it.
  The first time I stopped it it close normally, but since I closed it down to do updates (110) there will be no more.

  I'm going to stop it and it just sits on the "shutting down" screen for hours - the same with restart.

  I just had to hold the power key to close it (when it is not closed) or just put on sleep.

  Thank you.

  Thank you very much. Would be a new instal OS solve these problems?

  If you mean a new facility on a reformatted drive or a system recovery using recovery of the manufacture process, Yes, certainly, unless it's a hardware problem - but then you learn nothing about what caused the problem in the first place and so how do I prevent it from happening again.
  WRT your mistakes: -.
  1. nothing to worry about, as most of the machines do not have parallel ports today (unless yours does?)
  (2) it is difficult to talk about this, without more details-, but because they say "dependants", rather that "unload", it can probably be ignored.
  (3) it seems normal - I've seen a lot of PC with this error, and apparently nothing wrong. -It is important only if you are connected to a domain server
  (4) the service (I think) is a result of system crash, rather than a cause of the grip.
   
  It seems that the cause of this will remain a mystery.
  My earlier concern about SR doesn't work not just because of problems still standing stop - but back your data first, so that if the worst happens and you cannot start the system later, you can go to plan B.
  As Lorien says, try a back system restore to before the problem started - although at 2 months, I would worry about the stability of the system later. Since you already said that you are willing to do a reinstall if necessary, give it a whirl :)

• Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

  I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

  Try to use SeaTools for Windows.  See also: Seagate Installation Assistance

  Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

  Hey Brian39

  If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

  your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

  and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

  If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

  but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

• Windows Vista will not download

  Help. My HP G50 will start but the Windows Vista will not download. I pressed the keys F 10 and 11 F. The memory is good. I backed up my files using the F 11 Save function. I tried to go back to an earlier date using System Restore, no results. Can reset the computer by default, there is work in the F 11 key and then recover my files. Do I need a recovery disk?

  Thanks for the reply. I made the. Backup of files Wizard. At the end she asks 'Please insert the USB key' - I suppose to download files on an external drive. Well I bought an external drive and connect it to the USB port, nothing happens. He said only: "no available drive. What should I do now. I did all the steps, according to HP said on their site of troubleshooting online and this is the last step. I will not buy an HP again. A friend recommends a Sony.
