Windows XP not shut down - hangs at shutdown

Similar Questions

• Windows does not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally

  Original title: battery

  When the battery dies on Windows 7 Home premium, what makes the look of the laptop screen as to everyone with the same computer? (IE black, dim and then black, dim and white and then black, Sun & blue, etc.)
  And you always get the "Windows did not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally)" Note?

  It could be a hardware problem, so it is best to contact DELL or a local technician if the problem persists.

  As a work around, I suggest to update the drivers of the computer display and check if it makes a difference.

• Qosmio G50 - Windows does not shut down without memory stick inserted

  I have a Qosmio G50 running Windows 7. The pc does not stop unless I have my USB stick inserted. Without the USB, I can tell the pc to stop. Without the inserted stick, the pc will say that it stops and remains on the screen closed for 10-15 minutes and then restart.

  However, as soon as I put the USB into the USB port, the pc will stop within 2 seconds.

  It is not easy to understand the situation and explain why this happens.
  Qosmio G50 is not latest model cell phone, so I can't imagine that this strange question comes on the first day.

  Something like this can be done with the factory settings. The configuration, preinstalled software, background running applications and processes on your Qosmio OS are not known to us is not easy to help you with this.
  Somehow, I think that something running in the background blocks of the system. Unfortunately, I can't say what that would be.

  Check a bit.
  By the way: have you noticed the behavior even if you try to use standby or hibernation mode?

  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 :)

• 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.

• Because the computer may not shut down properly the recovery fails on HP G60-519WM

  1.) product name and number: HP G60-519WM

  (2.) operating system installed: Windows 7 64-bit

  (3.) error message:

  Impossible to restart the computer

  Windows cannot restart the computer in the

  To complete Windows recovery environment the

  recovery operation.

  4.) all changes to your system until the problem was happening:

  I think I have a type of malware or something because my computer started running slower and I continue to be redirected to Web sites randomly when I use Google or Bing.  Records on the right side of my Start menu as 'Computer' and 'My Documents' disappeared.  I also get this an update for Windows live which stops at 57%.

  Problem:

  There is no restore point on my computer if I want to perform a system recovery back to the image of the manufactuer.  I downloaded the USB recovery Flash Disk Utility for my model.  Now I want to recover my computer via USB, but when I run the advanced recovery mode he's trying to restart my computer.  Given that my computer will not shut down properly, I end up having to press the power button until it stops my computer and the recovery does not continue when I start my computer again.

  I tried to use F11, but then I just end up on a screen that says either press on enter to choose to continue with Windows 7, press tab to move to the bottom of the list or press ESC for more options.  I tried all three and they eventually freeze the screen and keys are starting to make a Summit high-pitched beep when I try to press one, so I end up having to force my laptop to stop.

  I also tried to make recovery by pressing F8 and then choosing the "repair your computer option.  Which causes my computer screen go black, and I end up having to force it to close again.

  Is it possible to restore my computer to factory settings?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi, Jes:

  Yes, it would be the battery.  The relatively heavy bar that is normally removed retainers of slide.

  From what you described, I am afraid that your PC needs a lot of work (probably a bad motherboard), and you'd be much better to buy a new laptop or refurbished, than to pay a lot of money to fix yours.

  I guess you would have to pay more than $200 for repair.

  I'm sorry this is probably not what you wanted to hear.

  Best regards

  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.

• 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)

• Updates the window appear when shutting down, but do not set up the next time you start

  The display shows 15 updates of Windows are loaded (installed?) when the machine is stopped.  To restart Windows, the screen indicates "wait" while the updates are being configured.  The icon indicates that the configuration is current, but the screen always said that "0% are completed.  Then, after a few minutes, the screen indicates something as "installation failed; Revenant.  After the message 'return', the machine moves to the usual Windows 7 start page and asking to connect you as usual (which allows me to work on the machine).   So, the next time I shut down Windows, the screen indicates that the installation of several updates continues and is completed in series.  Then, the next time I turn on the machine it asks to wait while updates are configured;  and finally, it "fails to complete the configuration" and "resets" as described above.  What happened several times in the last two days.  What should I do to get this resolved failure?

• Windows Vista 64 bit not Shutting Down

  I have Windows Vista 64-bit and after a few recent updates it will not shut correctly. The screen saying shutting down just y rest turns and it never stops. I have to use the power button then go through "Windows is not stopped correctly." Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to fix it?

  Well at least you know it's updates.
  But now that you have restored on before the updated Automatic updates of Windows will try to re - install the updates again on the next update of the cycle. This can cause the issue to recur.

  To work around this problem and continue troubleshooting follow these steps:

  (1) to prevent the restart that follows the Blue Screen Of Death, go to the control panel. Select system, select the System Protection, select the Advanced setting. In the startup and recovery section, click the settings button. In the dialogue box uncheck 'automatically restart '.

  This way if the BSOD appears it will remain on the screen until you restart manually (with the power switch) so you can copy all the info.

  2) go to the control panel and select Windows updates, then settings. In the settings dialog box, select "download updates but let me choose whether to install them. When you click OK and return to the precedding box select "Check for updates".

  (3) then make a list of the updates download. Download the General description and the number of K.
  You will be able to select the ones you want to install. Select one and install it. It is necessary to restart even if it doesn't tell you the restart.

  (4) see if afier you is installed the problem returns. If this is not the case back to the updates, and install the following and so on.

  (5) when get you to one that is causing the BSOD a brand notes of everything about the BSOD and updated at the source of the problem and to publish them.

  This is enough to understand the nature of the conflict with the update and fix it.

  If this can be done at least you know what update is the problem, it can be uninstalled in most cases without reverting to a restore point. It can also be marked as 'Hidden', then in the future Windows Update will not download again it and raise the problem of repeat.

  Finally you can win the lottery Windows and after you have reinstalled all the updates from that above a time procedure everthing could be OK. He has been known to occur. One just update downloads may have been corrupted. a second facility will work then.

  Continuation through the fog
