sleep

Every night I go to shut down my computer. But as soon as it seems to be finished powering down, the system restarts immediately. I have tried disabling automatic restart, but it doesn't seem to be a BlueScreen error issue, as I am not getting any BlueScreens. Another possibly related issue...

Hi guys, I've been having problems with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 since I installed it two weeks ago. At first it turned out great, but after entering an inactivity period (over 20 minutes) every application (including the CTRL + ALT + DEL Panel) that I try to run shows a different error...

Hello, I hope you are well. I think that the Power Button in the Start Menu, where users can choose for it to Lock, Sleep, Hibernate, and Shutdown their computers, is very useful. I'd like to somehow tweak it even further, but am not sure if this is even remotely possible. Is there any way I...
