power loss

:eek:

My PERSONAL Win8.3 PC has always requested a PW to login. It was just a local PW. Today, we lost power for a little while, then when it came back on and I rebooted, my PW didn't work. Windows told me I have to use my Windows live PW. It also sent a confirmation to the Windows...

Hi, Today when I did wake up I did hear my HPe Microserver gen8 reboot by it self, the machine have never done this before. It currently running Windows Server 2016 Standard but as it's "almoste" the same as Windows 10 I do post here. I have looked in %SystemRoot%\ after some dump file but I...

Hi, my first post. Plus first time I have had a new win10 system fail with probably a hdd failure, so lots of learning new stuff etc regarding the manipulating EUFI options, GPT options etc. Anyway to cut to the quick, I have an old version of Hirens on flash drive, and the latest version on a...

After a sudden power loss forcing the computer into a hard shut down, the first thing I noticed was my UAC setting being reset from "Never notify" to the default. Since that has been changed, I think it's possible other things have been changed as well. Why would these settings change after a...

I have been having an issue with my system just simply shutting down without any warning almost as if a power outage occurred. No blue screen no notifications nothing. It has happened 4 times now while playing a game in particular. When the power goes out I cant turn the computer back on for...

Hi, (I'm not sure if this issue should be posted under hardware or software) Up until a few weeks ago everything was fine. As far as I know, no new hardware or software was installed on my Win 7 PC. During the last few weeks, external disks or disk-on-key connected to the PC are not...

Hi I am having the same type of issue as the "DNS server not responding thread". I tried looking at some of the different issues and trying to figure it out for myself but I didn't want to change something and make it worse.Right now I have internet access but it is extremely slow compared to...

Hey, New here, had this problem for quite a while (been using win7 for over a year with this hardware setup.) Well so basically, a few weeks after a fresh install (reformat every 3-4 months usually just a personal preference), it starts to hang after logging in. It happens anywhere from 10-45...

For the past few days my Windows 7 computer would reset to BIOS. No warnings, just BAM! hard reboot of the computer. I've unchecked the box under computer/properties that would Automatically Restart the system on crash. So that's just one thing I've tried in order to try to find the issue...

The story goes like this: My laptop lost power and died - but I had not shut it down properly for 2 or more weeks. This has happened before so I thought it would be OK. I restarted the computer, everything worked fine EXCEPT when I put it to sleep again it crashed/hung with the screen all...

I accidentaly tripped over my laptop cord while booting. The computer was not harmed, but the adapter unpluged from the laptop and the laptop lost power while booting. Timeline of events: 1) I tripped over the cord 2) laptop lost power while booting up 3) I pluged the laptop back in 4) I...

Hello All, First time poster here, hopefully someone can help me out. I turned on my computer last night with the intention of using it and about 20 minutes after it was started we lost power. When power returned I restarted the computer, and immediately started getting error messages such as...

Hello! I am having some serious issues with my computer! I have a Gateway with a Western Digital HDD. I do not know the specifics, but I could look them up if you could tell me where to look! I am good with computers - just not computer language, so bear with me! I installed Windows 7 32-bit...

Lost power last night... so windows was not shut down properly. Upon startup, I lost some services - wireless, print services, some programs not running, etc... I went online to search for solutions. At some point I reached a 'windows validation' failure screen (in retrospect, some...

Problem from Event Viewer: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Details are below. - <Event xmlns="Link Removed due to 404 Error"> - <System> <Provider...

Hello everyone, So I have been using windows 7 since about memorial day, and really cant complain too much. The only major concern I have so far (besides not being able to delete folders because it claimed they were in use {i think i fixed this}) is that recently, it almost seems like once a...

I have W7 running on a desktop pc, connected to my network via a usb wireless adapter. The USB port(s) unexpectedly shut down after the pc sits idle for varying periods of time. Since mydigital tablet is connected via a usb adapter, I cannot get the PC started again without a reboot. I think...

HI, I always get this BSOD error and I'm very tired of this. In the event viewer, I got this information: (critical error) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. I also...
