idle

Recently Windows shuts down when idle after the pre set sleep interval expires. When I set my display to blank after 15 min and my PC to sleep after 20 min my PC will shut down rather than go to sleep as it is suppose to. I have extended the sleep interval to an hour to avoid shutdown. I...

Hey, I have a fairly old gaming computer, and it has been pretty good so far aside from a few minor hiccups. Recently, it crashed while I was playing a game of Dota 2, and it was unable to turn back on. I thought my power supply died, so I left it for a bit until I could repair it. A couple of...

I just built a computer which runs great while I'm active, but when I let it sit for about 10 minutes it crashes with error code 124. I tried verifying my drivers which caused it to crash with error code 1c when I selected my intel drivers. I tried installing a hot fix for that error, which did...

It appears my HDD usage is very high even on idle. What information do I need to provide in order to receive help?

If a game or video is running, the computer will not go to sleep, which I want it to after the specified idling. Is there any alternative to "powercfg" to manage sleepblockers? IE a graphical userinterface? I cannot make "powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE XXX" work, IE when a user has an audiostream...

Hello! Ever since I've had my windows 8 laptop, every so often I'll receive the BSOD "Kernal_Data_Inpage_Error" and it's only ever that one. I could be doing anything, playing a game, on facebook, or just leaving it idle when this error occurs, and frankly it's very very annoying as it...

I have a system that's acting strange. It's a new mobo, cpu, ddr3 & psu. It has a HD 5850 GPU & has been working great but over the last few weeks it's been randomly going blank. I could have the pc system on & then all of a sudden I get a black screen. No mouse cursor, no response from any...

First time post, new member. Thanks in advance for any assistance. 2 year old Windows 7 Home premium, 64bit. Sony VAIO, VPCEH12FX. Never had any issues with this computer and out of the blue it began BSODs and freezes. When left to Idle experiences random BAD_HEADER_POOL BSODs and screen...

New to the forums, so I hope i read through all the rules and got everything you all need. I'm used to troubleshooting issues on my own and have worked as an IT consultant for 6 years. I'll admit BSOD is not my strong suit and I couldn't even get the analysis tools to run properly on my machine...

Hello, i recently faced a BSOD. BlueScreenView software says it is caused by mountmgr.sys.. don't know what to do????????/ bsod(BAD_POOL_HEADER often) always takes place when system remains idle(frequently). please help....:( by mistake the dump file is deleted, although uploaded txt might help..

So, my problem here is that my windows 7 is lagging pretty badly when its on idle mode like for 1 minute and so. Then when i'll move my mouse and it'll run back smoothly again. Please kindly help me. PS: Sorry for my bad english though. :)

When TI is running a backup operation, my system becomes somewhat unresponsive, especially the mouse/cursor operation. I suppose that wouldn't be so bad, if it were scheduled to only run when I was not using the computer, but with my erratic schedule, that isn't possible. I think that I...

Everything was working great for almost 6 months but 3 weeks before while my pc was idle suddenly some graphic display glitches came up and my keyboard and mouse froze up, so I had to do a hard reset by pressing the power button. There used to be GSOD when windows login screen comes up. If I...

I have changed my HTPC from a tower to the HTPC case. New everything except the Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCI card/cable card. Have identical Windows 7/64 Pro systems. Tried to copy all the power / sleep settings. New HTPC system will not sleep when it should. It is set to sleep after 10 minutes...

Periodically my computer shuts down, the power indicator will be on but there is no output, if I press the power button it will boot up normally, I have set the power plan to never shut down anything it will do this sporadically, it doesn’t do it while I’m working only when it has been idle fora...

When I say random in the title, I MEAN random. It does not matter what I do at the moment, it can be as simple as opening a new tab, or playing wow. Heck it sometimes crashes while I leave it idle in grindquest. I am new to these forums so, if you need some data files which you probably do...

I have a Win7 install - clean install, about 6-7 months old. Only being used for work purposes (web development) no gaming anything like that. Randomly as far as i can tell, my computer crashes. There's no bluescreen, no error log. The only thing to indicate something happened is that fact that...

First of al, hello to everyone!! I jut finished building a custom pc and am having BSOD's happening. The main one I'm getting is the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT and the other is MEMORY_MANAGMENT. The PFN occurs more frequently then the other one does though. There's no one or two things that I'm doing at...

Most stupid thing to do, but I did it... I changed ownership of all files on C:\ (and permissions also -removed SYSTEM, Users & authenticated users from all files-shame on me) and after that, I was unable to get even into win logon screen. Fortunately, I have 2 Win 7 x64 versions installed, so I...
