HP DV6 3209 TX does not shut down properly & sometimes very slow

Hi,
I bought a HP Pavilion dv6 3209 tx laptop only one month ago. It provided Win Home Basic. I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick along with it, from a pendrive .... I didn't get installed, & at that time, The screen suddenly became colourful with some bizarre symbols !! I shut it down with the power key.
Since then, The home basic became very slow, cpu usage often reaches 100% or very high even while idle, does not shut-down properly.
Then I formatted the hard disk,clean-installed Win 7 Pro (Got it from msdnaa) as well as ubuntu maverick. Now when I restart the system, it shuts down & restarts. But if shut down, then the desktop goes blank, but the fan keeps running, power indicator keeps glowing, system never shuts down till the power key is long-pressed. Also, The CPU usage becomes very high, sometimes it's normal.
I'm confused. Is that any hardware issue ? Do I need to format it again, install xp sp3 & check it if the problems remain ? Please help !!
when the lappy runs in Ubuntu, it's operating speed or CPU usage is normal ..... even when I'm writing this reply from Win 7, everything is normal, but sometimes it's not so smooth...... task manager shows CPU usage as 90 % or more !! I've decided to install xp & then check if the shutdown issue & slowness remains there too.

SOLUTION  :
Open the BIOS (at the starting press f10).
f9 to restor default
Then save and exit (press f10 again)
Restart the computer.
Do this again and set it back to "Enable" that wil help the computer to not over heat.
And now your ROVE will start and sleep correctly.

  • My rove does not shut down properly

    Recently my HP ENVY Rove 20 Mobile AiO PC has stopped shutting down properly. I select shutdown and the computer powers off the screen and disables the keyboard and mouse, and then stops doing anything. The power button remains illuminated, and I can hear/feel the fan working. I went into setting and turned off the fast restart option, but this has not had any effect on the problem. I did a command prompt also to no avail.
    Please help me out here, this is very frustrating I received this machine as a Christmas present so its only a month old.

  • Where can I download an earlier version of firefox. Version 4 does not shut down properly so when I start it again it says firefox is already running. I'm very close to going back to Internet Explorere

    Firefox 4 doesn't shut down properly. If I close it and reopen it later it tells me firefox is already running and I end up restarting my computer.
    This is the shits

    You may still have a Croatian language pack installed if you didn't uninstall a previously installed Croatian version and checked the Firefox program folder for remnant leftover files.
    * "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome"
    If you download the full en-US version and install that version then the language shouldn't change.

  • External hard drive does not shut down

    Hello, When my mini mac goes to sleep my samsung external hard drive does not shut down or dismount properly. when i wake computer i have a error message stating improperly ejected hard drive. It also does not reconize HD until I disconnect and reconnet??? PLEASE HELP Thank you

    My Mini was doing the same thing until I reset the PRAM. With four external drives. They would stop inadvertently with an "improperly ejected" error. Granted two of the drives went bad (6 and 7 years old) but a brand spanking new Seagate and a 3 year old Hitachi drive doing the same. Haven't seen the error since resetting the PRAM.
    If you don't know how to do that, Reboot while holding the Cmd+Opt+P+R keys until your hear the startup chime three times and then release the keys.

  • The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

    Firefox automatically loaded a new version recently. The new version does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

  • Monitor Does Not Shut Down In 15 Minutes

    Under power options the monitor is set to turn off on 15 minutes. updated my Shockwave Flash to 10.0 r42 when a flash video is played in any of of my browser and the browser is shut down the monitor does not shut down in 15 minutes. the computer has to be rebooted and then everything is fine. reinstalled Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 for firefox opera and the situation is ok.
    can not understand why the new flash causes this problem.
    computer exceeds all of adobe requirements.
    if a monitor does not shutdown in power schemes it usually indicates a process running in the bachground.
    In this case there appears to be none and it would suggest there is a problem with Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42 and possibly with all shockwave
    player 10 have that problem.
    Last year tried another version of 10 and had the same problem
    install_flash_player_ax.exe 9.0 r124 will not install on my computer  as a pop up says its not the most current version.
    install_flash_player_9_ax.exe 9.0.260.0 will install but  on most sites a pop up will  say flash 10 is required.
    Dont know what adobe is up to but clearly something is wrong.
    Many people have heard about third-party cookies, and some browsers even block those by default. Some people may even be using Private Browsing modes. However, only few seem to realise that Adobe's Flash player also leaves a cross-browser trail on your local hard drive, and allows for sending cookie-like information back to the server, including third-party sites. And because it is a plugin, Flash does not take any of the browser's privacy settings into account.
    http://superuser.com/questions/1627/how-to-automatically-remove-flash-history-privacy-trai l-or-stop-flash-from-stori
    Its surprising that no one has noticed this bug and also would like  a working copy of install_flash_player_ax.exe 9.0 r124
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    filed a bug report with adobe.
    the attachment will explain it.
    the problem has been fixed in a future beta 10.

  • My Mac OS X 10.6.8 does not shut down

    My mac does not shut down, the blue screen is there for ever. to shut it down I have to do that manually, but i am afraid to damage my mac by switching it always like that!!!

    Boot from your installer dvd and repair/verify you boot drive with Disk Utility (not repair permissions).
    Do a smc and pram reset.
    Then try some experiments...
    Does the shutdown hang if,
    1. You log into your account and do nothing else by shut down?
    2. You log into another account?
    3. You boot in safe mode, log into your account and then shut down?

  • Laptop does not shut down completely after upgrading to Windows 10!!

    Ever since I installed Windows 10 64-bit, the PC does not shut down completely. The screen gets blank but the power button is still lit up...Have to manually shut down by holding the power button... Same issue anyone? Any solution or workaround? @HP??

    I also have this problem, and have resorted to leaving the computer in Sleep mode when not in use. This is OK as a temporary fix, but is not a permanent solution. This is clearly a problem with HP computers and I would hope HP are aware of the need for urgent action to resolve the problem. I also hope that Microsoft gives them full cooperation. HP and Microsoft, are you listening?

  • Why does my intel iMac not shut down properly?

    On Shutdown, the screen goes black, appears to be shut down, but start button will not start unless you hold it in for several seconds. After machine boots messages says not shut down properly. Does this everytime. Has done it since it was new a year ago. the screen is black, but the button will not start the machine unless you hold it down, then you get the message. Have never seen anything like this. It is as if the machine thinks it is still running.

    I'm not sure that a normal shutdown followed by turning off a power strip will reset the SMC. Power strips just switch off the "hot" leg of the power but do not interrupt the "cold" (neutral) leg or the "earth" (ground) connections. It may be that the SMC senses the cold-to-ground path or something like that to do a reset.
    It may also be that the Mac hasn't actually shut down completely when you switch off the strip. You might try waiting a minute or two before doing that to see if it makes a difference, or listening carefully for any noises coming from the Mac after the menu shutdown before hitting the power strip switch.
    I sometimes use an old veterinary stethoscope to listen for sounds coming from Macs for troubleshooting purposes (although never yet with a MacPro) & have noticed that the screen goes dark a little before everything else is fully shut down.

  • Macbook does not shut down or restart. It stops at an blank white screen with the cursor moving around it. Updated to the latest software

    I have a Macbook Air 13.3" 2012 model. For a couple of days my Macbook does not shuts down. It just stops at a blank white screen with the cursor still hovering around it.  I have to shut it down forcefully every time using the power button.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • OS X does not shut down after iTunes is started

    Always after I open iTunes my MacBook Pro OS X 10.8 does not shut down (grey screen with spinning wheel). When iTunes is not used the system shut down properly. It seems to be an issue related to iTunes and not to OS (same behavior under Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion). What can be done to fix this problem?

    The problem is solved

  • ITunes not shutting down properly

    When I click iTunes > Quit iTunes on my iMac, the iTunes library window closes, and the iTunes menu bar disappears from the top left corner of the screen.  But the iTunes icon in the dock still has a white dot under it, implying the the iTunes app is still running.  If I click on the iTunes icon in the dock, however, the iTunes window does not reappear or respond in any way.  If I right-click on the iTunes icon in the dock and click on Force Quit, then the white dot goes way.  I can then click on the iTunes icon again to restart iTunes, and all is ok.  I have to do this every time I want to close iTunes.  It seems like iTunes does not shut down fully unless I do a Force Quit.  Anyone else having this issue?  Any suggestions?
    I am running the current versions of OS X Mavericks and iTunes ...

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Weblogic client not shutting down properly in web app

    Hi,
    We have an application running on Tomcat which uses wlfullclient.jar to connect to EJB's hosted on a Weblogic server.  We're seeing errors like the following in the logs when the web application is shutdown, which appear to indicate that the Weblogic client is not cleaning up threads upon application shutdown.

    Is there a recommended way (configuration, API, etc.) of getting the client to clean up after itself?
    Thanks.

    Hi Tim,
    where did you deploy your Coherence jars? In the application (APP-INF/lib or WEB-INF/lib) or into the server classpath?
    If you deployed it within the application APP-INF/lib, then you should register an application-specific ApplicationLifecycleListener in weblogic-application.xml which invokes CacheFactory.shutdown() in the postStop() method.
    If you deployed it within a WEB-INF/lib directory, then you should do similarly from a JSDK ContextListener.
    If you deployed it to the server classpath, then it has nothing to do with the application lifecycle, nor should it have, so it is normal if it does not shut down upon application undeployment.
    Best regards,
    Robert
