Hi, i have been having problems shutting down my system. It gets as far as the blue screen with the Shutting Down text & thats it. I have hard drive activity for a few seconds & then nothing & im forced to turn off holding the power button in. I've use various tools to keep my system in top...

Oh do tell me I'm on the right part of the forum even if I'm not. Once in a bit, I do get this thrilling problem while restarting - it simply hangs there and does nothing. Finally I have to hit the Power button to shut down which cannot be the best thing in the world to do. Googling this in...

I have a laptop with a monitor attached. I use to be able to come in and move the mouse to wake up the system. Now, I need to open the laptop and push the power button. I have gone into System/Device Manager/Mice.... and there is no option to "allow device to wake up". My knowledge is limited...

Hi everyone, I went from an OEM to a custom built PC with just the graphic card remaining from that OEM system. For most of the time, I experienced BSODs when booting up, but also several times from within Windows, idling or under load. I figured the mistake (no AHCI in BIOS) and made a clean OS...

I'm not entirely sure what info is required for this request, but I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Whatever else you need, tell me, but my profile has a lot. Anyways, my issue is that Windows Explorer is being really frustrating. I'm pretty good with computers, to the point that even my...

This is pretty much what I requested from the Win8 Build Team. W/ this, no more need for the previous separate Shut Down & Restart buttons; although they can stay on Start, as tiles. And, better than Alt+F4...better than anything, really. Way better than, Charms>Settings! Still hope we...

Hey, I shut down my laptop earlier by pressing the power button while booting. I had a total lapse in judgement, and just did something stupid. Regardless, I powered on the laptop and it said that the system failed to start previously. It recommended running Startup Repair. I figured why not, as...

I have wrecked my wifes' laptop, so you can guess just how much trouble I am in. I turned the laptop off by holding the power on button depressed for as long as it took to power down. I have done this many times before. This time the laptop will not start windows after power up. Win 7 offers 2...

Why does my “1 of 1” updates take at least 24+ hours to finish? Keep in mind these updates have never finished and I was always forced to hold down the power button to shut off my computer… Also what’s even weirder, is that the one time I shut down my computer and it did this kind of...

Just because the button comes configured to put your system in Sleep mode doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Link Removed

My system has been having a lot of problems today and, after a good two hours of trouble shooting, I finally narrowed the issue down to the Search Service, which must have gotten damaged or corrupted somehow. Here's the problems. 1. When the search service is running, IE8 and Word 2010...

I recently just got a new Dell Latitude e5410 laptop with i5 core processor, 8gb ram and Windows 7 on it. It went into standby (or hibernate? not sure if there is a difference between standby and hibernate) mode and I left it sitting there plugged in for a long time. Later when I came back I...

Came across this site while looking for some answers for about 3 weeks now. Decided it was time to seek extra help from people who know more than I do. I am a newbie here (and would like to offer my thanks, in advance, for all of the analyzing and time that will go into this thread). I read...
