[e540] Windows boots on second time only after being shut down for some time

Hello!
My newly installed windows 8.1 on my new laptop Lenovo ThinkPad E540 I have the unfamous boot problem... ( http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1773872/boot-time-cpu-led-stays-time-booting-works-fine.htm... )
I've read all the stuff about hybrid shutdown and everything, tried to disable it, played with UEFI boot priority in BIOS, and when finally it seemed like FastBoot IS working, (tried it and everything went well and fast), today, when I turned on my lapop, it started, and after windows intro loading animation, it went black, and I heard like HDD stopped working (everything went silent - just like every time since I started to have this problem)...
AND finally, I'm desperate...
I turned my laptop off and on yesterday, just to test FastBoot, and, as I said, with no problems... but the day after, same thing happened...
So - when I turn it off and start again in short time, it seems to work. But when I shut it down for example in the evening, in the morning it freezes again, have to turn it off by pressing power button and then on again, which works... It is driving me crazy..
IS THERE SOMETHING TO GET IT WORK??

Hi @Anotheran ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv5-1104tu Notebook and issues with startup. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Not rollback. Restore BIOS defaults are needed.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
You might want to look at this document on overheating. Which will cause the Notebook to heat up and shut down.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that might need updating.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network. It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

Clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Smart Cover for some time

I have read that many people experience clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Apple Smart Cover for some time.
I experienced the same thing and returned the device to the shop where i bought it, while still having the warranty.
They wrote me after 11 days of having my iPad that it is fixed and i can come for it, i was not yet there.
Please tell me, how can i realize that they warranty serviced my iPad?
I have read that many people get new device with same issue, and mine just got fixed somehow...
It is not Apple Store it is Apple Premium Reseller, was their service OK or they just did not wanted to give me new device?
How can i get to know they were acting correctly?
Thanks for the answer

Everything is OK, they gave my whole new iPad Air

MacBook Pro attempts to place a NON-EXISTING disc into its optical drive several times, immediately after being opened & woken up, every time...

About a week ago, my mother tried to place a DVD into my MacBook Pro while it was still closed & sleeping. Of course it didn't anything, but allowed her ignorant self to push the disc quite far into the disc drive. Once opened & woken up, the disc drive responded & operated normally, allowing my family to enjoy another great episode of Hanks & Speilberg's Band Of Brothers... UNTIL, the following day I opened it up & it began to make that "sucking a disc into its slot" noise, quite a few times before quitting... It hasn't damaged my MacBook Pro to my knowledge, I even put the DVD back in to insure that the drive hadn't been broken, but continues this process EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to open up & utilize my top-of-the-line Apple product. I've tried to restart/shut down my notebook, but this hindrance proceeds to linger. Also, I've began to worry that the amount of times the optical disc drive performs this mechincal process could cause future damage. Furthermore, it's a bit of a nuisance when trying to stealthly get on my MacBook Pro at night and end up waking up everyone... I have also upgraded to OX X Mavericks 10.9.1, could partake in the problem at hand? I would greatly appreciate suggestions & hope someone knows the direct solution to this problem!
Thank you for your time Apple Support Community, I truly appreciate it...

Damage was done when your computer fell. Your warranty if you have one and Apple Care do not cover accidental damage. Your only alternative is to take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

A rectangle box with four options, Restart,Sleep,Cancel and Shut Down appears some times when I boot up, how can I stop this from happening?

A rectangle box come up sometimes when I boot up my computer, it says, Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now? and has four boxes Restart, Sleep,Cancel and Shut Down. How can I get rid of this annoying occurance?

That box is normally invoked with Control-Eject.

At times when dragging the vertical scroll bar my computer screen oscillates up and down for some time before going blank or not responding to any clicks requiring a forced system restart. What is wrong?

Hi,
Suddenly while working with Firefox if I happen to drag the vertical scroll bar, a very abnormal behavior occurs. My screen dances up and down for a short time before either going black or getting restored but with no clicks working. The only way to resume is to force a restart of the system.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak

That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

Do you have any device wake settings? Check in Windows by launching an administrative command prompt and running "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed".
Also check in BIOS for "Wake on AC".

Why does my MacBook turn itself on after being shut-down completely?

I've noticed recently that when I get up in the morning my computer is on after I completely shut it down in the evening. Has someone hacked into my computer? If so how do I check to find out?

Welcome back to Apple Support Communities.
Check System Preferences, Hardware, Energy Saver, Power Adapter to see if 'Wake for Ethernet network access' is checked. (MacBook 2,1 with OS X 10.6.7 illustrated below).
If you leave your computer plugged in to Ethernet, and/or AirPort wireless turned on when you shut down, the computer will wake when it receives an incoming Ethernet network signal. Your router or WiFi router sends signals fairly frequently to see if your computer still attached.

My laptop takes an extremely long time to start up after being shut down

When I try to start up my computer it takes between 3-5 mintues to start back up again.
MBP 15"
Purchased in Ocotber of 2011
Any ideas?

There are probably a lot of items being started when the computer does. You can open up "System Preferences", click on "Users & Groups", and then click on "Login Items" for a particular user. If you don't see anything suspicious, or anything that can cause long startup issues, navigate to (by pressing shift-command-G when in Finder, and yes, the ~ is necessary):
~/Library/LaunchAgents (can also get here by typing /Users/<account name>/Library)
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LanuchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
/System/LaunchAgents
/System/LaunchDaemons
/System/StartupItems
If you don't see anything in there that would cause the "long" boot up time, then it is most likely something else (obviously...). If you have FileVault2 enabled, causing your entire hard drive to be enabled for Full Disk Encryption, that might increase the boot up time by a small amount. If you feel that your computer still is booting up way too slowly for your liking, then there could be some helpful indications during bootup. The next time you startup your mac, hold down the Command+V buttons on your keyboard, and you will see lines of text rather than your usual grey screen with the Apple logo

IMac (G1 Intel) won't start after having been shut down (for extended time)

I haven't been using 1st generation Intel iMac for about a year and after reconnecting it now it simply won't start. I have tried resetting SMC, no help. Also tried another outlet. The fans are not spinning up, nothing on the screen, no startup chime. It worked perfectly before I shut it down last tiime.
Any ideas what might be wrong, what to troubleshoot/fix?

Have you ever changed the PRAM battery - they run flat after a few years? Not sure if it would prevent booting if it were flat, but possibly.
Try leaving the Mac plugged in to a power socket for a few hours (if you haven't already) and then try again. If it does boot (bit of a long shot) get a new PRAM battery.

OMS Jobs could not execute after server shutting down for days in holiday.

Hi all,
I found yesterday that all jobs won't run after a long term holiday(several days),the Oracle Management Server and the database server installed on different machine,all shutdown before holiday.Those jobs were scheduled to perform day by day without ending date.
Howerer,when we come back to work and startup database server and the Management Server,in the past two days those jobs won't run anymore.I add a new job and find it can run correctly.And I found there is many extra connections from OS users DBSNMP to database,why?Each time I stop the agent service on the database host,and then restart it,I found in the jobs history lists there is failure notice said "job failed while running due to the agent stopped".
Should I recreate those jobs again?There is about 20 different jobs,my God!
Your reply is highly appreciated!

Try editing boot.properties file in both Admin server and bi_server1 in these two locations
domain/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
domain/servers/bi_server1/security/boot.properties
Once it is done,Try restarting and let us know the outcome.
Thanks,

I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day. It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account. The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines. Any ideas what is causing this?

I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day. It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account. The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines. I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem. I have used this account for years. Any ideas what is causing this?

No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well. That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library.... Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.
