Computer Shuts Down At BitLocker Boot Password Prompt

Hi All,
I have been using this computer for almost 6 months now with absolutely no problems until I encrypted my system drive with BitLocker. I am not using a TPM. Now, almost every time I get to the password prompt for BitLocker at boot, my computer turns completely
off. I am using an ASUS Z97-E. ASUS tech support was completely useless and wanted to pass the blame instead of help, so I guess I'm on my own as far as their support.
I have read previously that this may be related to ASUS products. I cannot seem to get it to boot reliably. If I completely remove power from the machine by unplugging it, sometimes that will give me enough time to enter my password. If I don't, often, it
will only give me a couple seconds (and my password is pretty long) before shutting down.
I have tried disabling Secure Boot and that seemed to help at first but then the problem came right back.
There is a BIOS update available but I'm not confident it will fix the problem.
Are there any specific BIOS settings I can change to make BitLocker stop making my computer shut down? Any Windows settings I can change that might help? 
I'd really like to keep my data encrypted but I'm not sure if this hassle is worth it.

Hi,
Based on my research, this is a firmware problem. It does not matter what authentication method (TPM/without TPM/PIN+TPM/Password only/...) is used, it leaves you only some seconds before it shuts down.
It's recommend you contact ASUS tell them to try and reproduce it. They would need to fix their BIOS.
In addition, we could try to disable "fast startup" as below steps to see if it could be as a workaround:
1.In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.
2.Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.
3.Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.
4.Click Save Settings.

  • Computer Shutting down before properly booting up....

    My 2008 MacBook Pro will power up on the gray screen (apple appears) and it spins like it's booting but after about 1 minute it shuts down.
    I've tried a few things. Disconnecting the battery - Restarting and holding "option" key down....nothing.
    Help!

    Hi......hmmmm, forgive me for not providing this info in my first post. I'm a bit of a duffer when it comes to giving details.
    Here goes:
    Happens with power connected and also when power unplugged.
    Shoot hubby just grabbed it and is taking it to apple store, so cannot answer that one.
    Light is on plug when connected.
    Will try that option when hubby returns.
    I so wanted to find the answer before him
    Thanks for your suggestions

  • PC Shuts Down at Bitlocker Password Entry

    I have a new Lenovo Desktop running Windows 8.1 Pro with TPM. When the PC is powered on, after the initial Lenovo screen and the Blue Bitlocker Password Entry Screen appears, the computer will shut down (shuts off) while the password is being typed. This
    occurs intermittently. Sometimes it shuts down after a few characters, sometimes it shuts down at the last two or three. If no password is typed in at the Blue Entry Screen, the computer will shut off after 60 seconds. When the password can be fully typed
    in and entered without the computer shutting down, Windows starts normally, there is no problem entering the Windows password and the computer will operate normally.
    The BIOS is fully up to date with BIOS dated 2/5/15. The problem occurred prior to and after BIOS update and Bitlocker was suspended during BIOS update.
     In performing initial Bitlocker setup, the group policy editor was set to require additional authentication at startup with TPM and PIN, and enabled Allow Enhanced PINS at Startup. Cipher Encryption Strength was set at 256 AES. A 20 character
    enhanced PIN was entered when Bitlocker was enabled and the PIN passed the system check when entered at reboot. Full disk encryption was completed.
    I have found one Technet and one Microsoft Community posting reporting similar problems with no solution:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/932630c2-ae3d-4cbd-8d79-a492806363ea/windows-81-bitlocker-automatic-shutdown-during-password-prompt?forum=w8itproinstall

    I am not an IT professional. Can anyone advise on solution?
    Thank you

    I'm having the exact same issue with the following setup:
    Intel Xeon E3 1231 v3
    Asus H97-Pro (UEFI 2705)
    4x 4096MB Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G
    Samsung SSD 840 EVO (Firmware EXT0CB6Q)
    ASUS Strix NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
    Enermax MODU87+ 600W
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
    I'm running Windows Bitlocker with Hardware Encryption (Windows eDrive) enabled on my EVO 840 SSD. The system runs stable, except when I'm at the password prompt of Bitlocker (random crashes).
    Every time it crashes, I get 2 Kernel-PnP warnings in my windows event viewer:
    - Event 219 \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&1
    - Event 219 \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device ROOT\WPD\0000
    It seems that this device is the "AMDA00 Interface". Updating/reinstalling the ASUS Probe II Sense Driver 1.0.1.0 did NOT help.
    It really seems that this is an ASUS-related issue.
    I just submitted the needed details to an ASUS-employee, and he promised me to forward my information to Taiwan.
    Really, we need more people reporting this to ASUS! Please, open a ticket, submit necessary information!

    So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
    Or you can't boot from it when you do?
    You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

    I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:

    I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

  • After installing Maverick on my iMac, the computer shuts down during boot up. Suggestion?

    I installed on an iMac purchased new in January 2013 with full specs, the computer shuts down every time the desktop begins to load.  I've reinstalled Maverick twice from Restore screen, all to no avail.  I don't have any recent Time machine back ups to restore from because of external hard drive failure.  Have a few thousand dollars worth of software on the computer that won't be replaced if not deactivated, so would hate to lose it all, but most of my data is in Drop box. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD, selecting Disk Utility>Macintosh HD>Repair Disk to see if any repairs are needed.? If anything gets fixed/altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. To do this, restart holding down Command + r (more details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 ).

    Voltage at 24 pin and 8 pin connectors are ok and under the tolerance as I saw here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/insidethepc/a/power-supply-voltage-tolerance.htm
    I will check the other rails.
    Hmmm... starting to suspect that the cause is something else.
    Missed the beeps in the past.
    This mobo (z77a-g45) never emitted a single one.
    Not even at startup when it was ok!
    Oh man!
    The computer was running well and then suddenly screen went black, no disks activity, no keyboard response, no video, no reset switch working. Fans continue spinning.
    Had to pull the plug to stop the fans. Then plug it again but no boot. Just cpu phase led 1 is lit, fans activity and nothing more. No welcome screen, no disks activity!
    I will try to test the ram on another computer.
    Any other clues?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • When opening my session, my computer shuts down

    Good morning;
    I have had this problem for two hours now and I am very worried. When I turn on my computer, everything goes well, I click on my session icon, type my password, and the computer starts loading it. However, it goes very slowly, and every time, at approximately 25/30%, the computer shuts down.
    Thanks for your help;

    Thanks a lot, I actually spent the day with the technical services of my college and we ended up wiping out everything and installing a new version of OS, but thank you for your answer!

  • Computer shuts down when calibrating

    Hi.. I've been having problems when trying to run the Battery Calibration and the computer shuts off when it gets to the discharge part of the calibration.  Seems to be when it hits the 15 to 20% part of the discharge.  I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM and running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.  The battery calibration that I am talking about is when you first start the computer... press ESC to get menu and press F2 for Advanced Diagnostics then Battery Calibration.  It checks to see if battery is there.. whether it is charged and charges if needed then goes into the drain battery part to find lower limit or 0% of the battery.  It doesn't show any errors detected up to the part of discharging the battery and don't even show that the test was even run in the error log of the Advanced Diagnostic Menu.  I've tried restoring the Bios to default values, uninstalling and reinstalling everything (programs and drivers), did a restore drive to original and updating everything and all is STILL the same.  I've tried calibrating in Windows with the Support Assistant and all I get is the battery needs calibrated is this (after running calibration - waiting 3 hours plugged in and recalibrating:
    Status (upper left hand corner): needs calibrating (20) and Charge capacity 51%
    Over to the right side of the Screen:  Failure ID - OK     Design Capacity 4400 mAh   Full Charge and Remaining Capacity: 2254 mAh      Terminal Voltage: 12366mV     Design Voltage: 10800 mV    Cell Voltage1: 4148 mV    Cell 2 voltage: 4125 mV    Cell 3 Voltage: 4093 mV       Status: E0      AC Power: True    and a CT Number of 6BUED05BBZUE1G   and showing a charge of 100%.
    I realize the battery is getting old but all of this came on pretty much at the same time (short battery life and loss of calibration).  I'm also running default values of HP Power Plan.  Any ideas?  Will a battery going bad cause all this?  Why doesn't the Calibration when first booting the computer, shut down instead of doing the discharg/recharge thing... ?  The power supply checks ok (checked with AC/DC meter).

    is your notebook still in warranty?  Warranty status check web page
    It certainly seems by your description that the battery has issues.
    Battery warranty is for one year, so it would be a good idea to replace it. Be sure that you buy a guaranteed compatible battery that comes with a one year warranty.

  • Help! My computer shuts down semi-unexpectedly.

    Please somebody help! My computer shuts down semi-unexpectedly. I say 'semi' unexpectedly, cos, by now it seems an accident waiting to happen ONLY when I play a 3D game.
    Now, whenever I play a 3D game there's a good chance the computer just shuts itself down, without ANY warning. Can be within 5 minutes, can be after an hour, it sometimes doesn't happen at all.
    After this the computer will not start up at all, and the D-bracket tells me the processor is the culprit. At first I waited a while (+/- one hour) and the thing would start up again as if nothing happened.
    After it started happening more frequently (or maybe I should say, 'after it didn't go away by itsself') I just didn't wait, but tried to find out what went wrong, and how to fix it.
    All I have learned so far is that if -after a 'radical shutdown'- I release the levers on my processor's heatsink, and wiggle it a bit, then refasten them the computer will start up again, no problem. But ONLY if I disconnect the powercable from my machine ENTIRELY first.
    I'm don't have the technical knowledge myself to make anything out of this, and am at my wit's end by now.
    My specs:
    mobo: 865PE-NEO2
    mem: 512MB Pc3200 dual channel
    processor: PIV 2.4GhZ
    video: Radeon9700PRO
    PSU: 400W
    Also:
    - All BIOS frequencies are at default
    - Got six ventilators in a case that is always open.
    - Got Corecenter running in the background with very tight temperature alert settings.
    - I have no other problems with my computer, and I do not overclock.
    All this at least leads me to believe it's not a power-, frequency- or heat issue. But then again, I'm no expert. At all.
    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Juju

    Is ur CPU OCed ?????
    And whats ur VDimm, cuz i had the same Problem when running Gothic II with all details aon 1600x1200 2xAniso & 4xFSAA.
    I believe the Problem is that ur RAM shuts down under full load if ur VDimm is too low, because all MSI Boards dynamically OC a littel (3-4 Mhz FSB) when running under full load (I read that on http://www.tomshardware.com).
    On my system with standard Vdimm @2.5 V and FSB Oced to 250 my system would crash almost everytime when I played Gothic II. Then i found out that the board booted at 407 Mhz DDR Clock. That's when i started suspecting that my Rams couldn't handle 407 Mhz when running at an extremely low 2.5 VDimm.
    So try the following:
    -Increase VDimm from 2.5 up to 2.7 V in small steps and check ur system stability every time stop when everything seems fine.
    -If u'r Oced don't go for FSB 250 (and multiplier at 5:4) try sth. like 243 so even if dynamically oced ur Rams won't go too far above 400 Mhz.
    P.S.: My VDimm is now at 2.6 and FSB at 244 and everything is fine.

  • PB17 internal drive spins down during bootup; computer shuts down

    my internal hard drive has crashed 3 times in the last week, each time on boot-up during the grey screen spinning wheel mode. the wheel will stop spinning, and simultaneously i can hear the internal drive spin down, then the computer shuts down on its own. i am able to boot from any external bootable hard drive.
    when i boot from any external drive, the internal drive does not mount. when launching the utility Drive Genius from the external drive, the internal drive still doesn't mount but does list the drive in the list of volumes/device window and does list the details of the drive. the drive is listed with its BSD name, not its DisplayName.
    Drive Genius is able to DUPLICATE the internal drive, and i'm able to boot from that duplication. if i select REPAIR, Drive Genius goes thru it's process of examining but is never able to actually repair the drive. for each time that the drive has crashed, if i select the REBUILD option, even though it always reports back that it was unable to repair the drive, when finished with the report, the drive mounts automatically with the correct volume display name. i am then able to boot from the internal drive, and everything works fine...till the next crash.
    Apple's disk utility hasnt been any help, although i've repaired permissions successfully after recovering from each crash.
    any thoughts?

    If your drive happens to be failing, then there is nothing that any software application can do to fix it. Maybe you should boot from the Install & Restore DVD that came with your PowerBook holding down the Option key, and run Apple Hardware Test to see if that provides any insight....
    Have you considered reformatting the PB's drive and reinstalling your system?
    Good luck.

  • My computer shuts down unexpectedly

    I bought my computer about 2 years a go, its an 13 inch aluminum macbook . In the last two months I have had to repair my UNTITLED DISK due to a "volume issue". In the last 3 weeks my computer shuts down unexpectedly.
    Dont know what to do

    Note the exact time the event occurs, and then check your system logs in your Console application for clues to the cause. You may have a thermal issue. Look for lines with thermal in them.

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation. 
    Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
    whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
    HELP!

    Restore your bootable backup/clone  or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.
