Unless the others who cannot get Vista to shut down, my machine shuts down
automatically after being idle for just a FEW (less than 5) minutes. When I restart, I get the screen indicating that the shutdown wasn't "good" and asking me to chose to boot normally or in safe mode. After the restart, I can find nothing indicating why it shut down. Any suggestions or help? |

By the way, I should mention that I have changed my power
management/performance setttings to "Never", as in never shut off the monitor, CPU, etc. "Chris" wrote: Unless the others who cannot get Vista to shut down, my machine shuts down automatically after being idle for just a FEW (less than 5) minutes.

If your not getting a blue screen and it just goes from windows to straight
shutting down without it actually going through the motions of it shutting down, it sounds like something inside could be overheating. If anything like your processor, ram, or hard drive gets to a certain threshold the computer will automatically shut down without warning. Now why it would do so with it being idle beats me, but it could be a number of things if its just when it goes idle. Could you explain how exactly it shuts down...does windows tell you..does it blue screen, or does it just power down? |
