Hyper - v shutting down after an hour.

I am running Windows 8 and 8.1 on separate machines and both of them are using hyper v to run 7. Both of them shutdown after an hour of use. Both are single use instances. I have done some looking and already went in and changed the power options and sleep
time on them. I have also tried using the slmgr -rearm command to see if that was the issue. no luck there.

When you put your serial number in the activation is usually automatic.
Press Windows + X
Select System
You can activate from this screen, or use the telephone number provided if you don't have internet access.

  • How to find out why my MBP will always try to shut down after 1 hour

    Dear all,
    this is a question too complicated for me to answer; I have previously tried to solve this problem in a usenet forum (comp.sys.mac.system) - but we didn't get it solved there, and I finally gave up on it. However, it still persists, and it is so annoying that I want to try another approach on it this time using the Apple Discussions Forum.
    The problem is as follows: my relatively new (bought in december '09) MacBook Pro 13" (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) has a problem: always when I leave it untouched for one hour, something within the system would try to make the computer shut down (system halt). Please note right that this seems NOT to be a hardware-related issue (al least not simply a bad mother-board or sth. similar - there are a lot of threads about MacBooks that seem to shut down immediately, like fainting - this is not the case here). Instead, the system behaves like anytime when a user-requested shut down is invoked - for example, the running applications would check if any changes should be saved, and ask questions. The only thing is: I did not request a system shut down, and even more: I do not WANT the system to shut down. In fact, this whole problem is extremely annoying, since it constantly messes up my open documents (e.g. the TextMate workspace I usually set up, or similar things), forcing me to reestablish my workspace at least once a day. Over time, this can be very annoying for a computer that's used for work!!
    During the course of my earlier discussions in the forum, we tried to find out what makes the computer go down - looking through the system log files etc. - but to no avail: we couldn't trace back the event that has caused the system to invoke the shut down procedure. However, it seems that this issue is related to the Mac operating system, and not the hardware - and this is why I ask this question here (and not in the MacBook Pro section). It may be that we simply didn't look in the right place - or not with the right tools - and I hope that there may be some people here with some new ideas how to trace the reason for this procedure. Everything I can tell now with some certainty (and I couldn't do it before in the usenet forum) is that the shutdown seems to be invoked about one hour after the system has been left untouched by a user (no key strokes, no mouse movements); I know this because I use my Mac for a wake up call now - and, since I sometimes need more than an hour for that, I can tell that this problem causes iTunes to quit one hour after the Mac has booted (which makes my wake-up music to switch off... and some of the running applications with no changes to save).
    It would be very important for me to solve and remove this annoying problem, and I think that this really shouldn't happen! Needless to say, I haven't set the energy savings settings such that the system would shut down after one hour (in fact, I have set the system to always stay on when attached to a power supply); still, the problem prevails.
    Does anyone of You specialists have a good clue or smart suggestion where (or probably how) else to look to find out what causes the shutdown? Thanks a lot for taking the time and considering this annoying problem!
    Best,
    Björn

    Yes - it is a bit frightening... Had other Macs before this MacBook (Pro), and never experienced such a problem. Don't know - of course I look into the Preference settings from time to time, and maybe I have changed that setting on the other computers... it never occurred to me...
    What an annoyance such a simple decision to make the auto-shutdown after one hour a default can be! Probably, Apple reconsiders :-D I'd rather prefer an auto-lock of the account (instead of an auto-log off)... but I believe it has been expressed often enough that, in this particular case, the - pardon me - Windows-solution (to offer a simple lock of the account, the Windows-L-key combination, IIRC) is much more practical... to copy that behaviour under Mac OS X, You'd have to go through lengths...
    Anyway! Pondind, thank You very much!!! Solved a kind of embarassing, but huge problem of mine!
    Best,
    Björn

  • WebLogic shuts down after 4 hours

    Hi:
    WL 5.1.0 sp 3

    I run my application under load for 4 hour and then the server throws a

    when it runs the expand command on the queue. After this it just shuts
    down.
    Could anybody provide an explanation how this mechanism works and if
    there are any tuning parameters to control the size of the queue.
    Thanks.

    Pl see earlier postings on the same topic (under the subject "WLS dies

  • Re: Satellite A215-S7444 just shuts down after one hour of usage

    I have a satellite A215-S7444.
    My problem is that while i'm on the computer after about an hour or so the computer just shuts down.
    I have already tried changing the power manegment settings which worked for awhile but my laptop still turns off after awhile.

    Hi Patrick
    Im quite sure that your notebook shuts down automatically due to the high temperature inside the notebook.
    Its a simply overheating issue which could be caused by clogged cooling grilles.
    From time to time its advisable to clean the ventilators. Mostly the dust prevents the cooling modules from properly working and therefore the temperature increases.
    I made good experience with the compressed air spray. Such sprays can be purchased from many computer/notebook dealers.
    Additionally you could try to google for some online offers too.

  • Mac Pro 1.1 Asks if I want to shut down after an hour or so of use.

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro will bring up the shut down dialogue after an hour or so of use.  The window won't cancel just reappears.
    Previously it was going to sleep until I unchecked 'Allow power button to put Mac to sleep' in preferences.  Power button fault?
    I've re-set my PRAM and SMC.  Changed the battery on the PCB too.
    I've tried running a hardware test however I'm using a reasonable but old CRT display and the dialogue box doesnt display correctly, looks brown/orange and illegible.  I'm running Lion.
    Any thoughts? Power button easy to replace? Can't find much info on doing this.
    I wonder if the temperature of the mac is what triggers the fault.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Why not run AHT first and see.

  • Hey!! i just moved from miami to vienna...i conected my desktop with a big convertor...to 220...and my computer shut down after one hour!!

    Hello!!
    I just relocated to Austria,Vienna...and I just recieved my moving from miami.
    I just conecyed my computer with a convertor for electricity from 110... to 220 (europe)
    it was working for one hour...and sudenly..it shut down completly!!
    what can I do?
    thank you!!
    joanna

    Joanna...You don't need and shouldn't use a convertor. If you look at the message I sent you back in June I suggested getting an adapter which only allows the plug to fit in the wall. someone else made the same suggestion.
    I'm not sure why you bought a convertor. It's been six months since i sent the message and I don't know if you have been using the computer in Italy or why it is now not working, as I used mine in both Italy and Vienna.
    You can buy an adaptor at any electirc store or at Saturn, a large store on Mariahilferstrasse fairly cheaply.
    If you do get an adaptor and it still doesn't work, there are a few resellers in Vienna, but no Apple owned store. It's too small a market.
    There are a couple of MacShark stores, one at the foot of Mariahilferstrasse near the Kunsthistoriches Museum. I There is also a very good store, honest and a good reputation called Digital Store at Stiftgasse 21, in the 7th district, not too far off of Mariahilferstrasse.
    Since they are not Apple stores, you have to pay for almost anything they do, including just opening it up and checking it out so get an estimate before you have them do anything.
    Good luck, but try an adaptor first.

  • My ipod dock keeps shutting off after 1 hour

    I have a Pioneer xw-NAS3 dock and I run a brown noise app at night to help drown out noise.  It had been working fine, and now last night, the dock shuts off on its own and then when I started it back up, it shut off one hour later.  The manual for the Pioneer says that if no ipod is connected in one hour, the unit will shut down, but there is an ipod connected the entire time and the simply noise app is running constantly and not set to shut down.  I'm mostly sure it's a docking issue because it also shut down after 1 hour while using an ipod nano and a predownloaded 12 hour loop of brown noise.  Any ideas to try?  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Nothing on Pioneer's site for my product. I did email, nothing yet.
    I did try resetting the dock.  didn't solve the problem.
    Yes, the device does charge, and there are no noticeable issues, and like I said, the unit worked great one week ago. 
    No damage or problems evident. 
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

  • Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour then will only boot after waiting and pressing power button numerous times. I am running mountain lion with most recent updates.

    Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know.  Each time I was watching a video.

    Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

  • Mac shuts down after 5 minutes  Help!!!!

    My computer: imac G3, DV Special Edition, 500Mhz, 384 mb ram, 80 gig hard drive
    This is an odd one...like many others before me the computer just died one day. it would not start up, no sounds, just dead. A few minutes later I tried to turn it on and it came on, but 5 minutes later, it died.
    This is the strange part. I took the plug from the socket and waited a few minutes, then pluged the computer back up. It came on. But only for a few mintes and again shut off.
    This time I left the plug in the socket, waited a few minutes and tried again. Nothing.
    I then took the plug out waited about 30 minutes and it came back on for about 5 minutes and shut down. It only seems to come on if I let the computer sit idle with the plug out.
    I have noticed that the computer does not keep time properly.
    What I have done.
    1. I have pressed the Cuda Button, and yes it did start up, but only for about 5 minutes.
    2. I have tried to reinstall the system hardware, but the computer dies before completion.
    Should I replace the battery? What else can be done?
    Help!

    I have the same problem. I don't have good news, though. I have replaced the battery, pressed the reset button, even replaced the power supply board (not the video board -- which is the only thing I have decided I'm not willing to do). My computer usually shuts down after 5 minutes, but will sometimes stay working fine for a couple of hours. I managed to update the firmware and OS to the very latest, but still it dies. Mine will also occasionally flicker and freeze, which can be restarted by holding down the power button.
    I would replace the video board, except the people trying that don't have quite the same problem (theirs don't start up at all), and there is no source I've found that would have new boards, so you would get a bad board, or the same problem eventually. Some people point to a transformer on the video board, but again the symtoms are not quite the same (they smell burt electronics or hear a hissing/crackling sound before it dies.
    I have just packed mine away and I'm working on a new G5, but I sure hope the old iMac can be fixed so my kids can use it. I just didn't want you to have to go down the same road just to find nothing helped. Good luck, and if you have any new ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

  • MBP randomly shuts down every few hours (while plugged in)

    MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009
    3.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Battery has been shoddy for a few years now. Only lasts about 15-30 minutes, but I just use the power cord.
    Recently, the MBP (with cord plugged in) has been randomly shutting down every few hours. Immediately prior to shutting down, the status bar says the battery is fully charged, and I can unplug the cord, and there are no issues. When restart the computer, the battery will now say it's anywhere from 0-60% full.
    The fact that the MBP shuts down even with the cord leads me to believe it's a logic board issue. If that's the case, what's the best option?
    I figure I can either:
    1. Replace just the battery and assume the healthy battery will weather any logic board lapses
    2. Replace both the battery and the logic board
    My local Apple Store said they could replace the logic board and battery for $300 total.
    Is this necessary, and if so, is it worth buying the parts and trying to replace myself?

    Yes, it's the flat-rate depot repair.
    Ok, you've (mostly) answered my primary concern... I was wondering what would happen if it turns out this isn't a logic board issue, and if my $310 would go to waste. The thing is that, right now, my MBP appears to be working perfectly fine until it randomly shuts off, which can take a few hours. So, if the depot replaces the logic board + battery, the MBP appears to be working there (I can't imagine they'll test it for more than 5 minutes), the depot sends it back, and after hours of use, I still have the same issue, I'll be able to get a refund, yes?
    If so, I'll probably just opt for this deal since replacement parts on eBay appear to be about the same price.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Computer shuts down after exporting H.264 from mts file

    My computer shuts down after trying to export a H.264 file from a .mts file. I did this with no problems a few days ago, twice! This time line is longer, about 6.5 minutes. I have a I 5 processor, a gtx 660 graphics card and 8 megs of ram. I exported audio as a wave file and added those to the timeline. In the events panel, I get a message: "file importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of audience_end_short.wav. Reading and writing this files metadata (xmp) has been disabled". it said the same for another short bit of audio, .wav file. I thought maybe there was a over heating issue, but to no avail. Do I need to get an I 7 processor? Please help!

    sorry about the spelling! Still going. About the driver issue. I was updating Geo Force drivers and my friend said to revert to the original install, which I did a while ago. That helped, but obviously didn't cure it. Wonder if I should do the same for windows updates. So although I'm still rendering after 2 hours, perhaps the new user acount will get me through this. So strange that I was able to render/export the exact files the other day. Like I said, this mts clip is longer by a minute. Plus, I got rid of the wav files that had a meta data issue. Thanks for helping me everyone. I'll keep you posted. But I do believe an I 7 processor will at least help in the speed department  right?

  • MBP shuts down after 30 minutes of inactivity

    Hello - I've posed this question before and thought it was solved but it has come back.  My MBP (circa 2008) with OS 10.6.8 continues to attempt a shut down after about 30 minutes of inactivity.  If there is an open app it prevents the shut down but it sure is annoying. 
    Does anyone have ideas on how to prevent this?  (Please note I am talking about a complete shut down - not going to sleep.)
    Thanks!

    Thanks Carolyn,
    I worked my way through the options and then eventually tried the reset.  Bummer, no luck.  My MBP still tries to shut off after a half hour passes.  It's odd that the timing is so consistent, yet there are no settings I can find that would cause this shut down.

  • Pavillion dv5 shuts down after ~5-10min on battery power?

    11mo old laptop simply shuts down when running on battery power after only 5-10min after unplugging.
    - Battery gauge shows fully-chaged when I unplug it
    - No "low battery" warning or advice to plug in is given; it simply shuts off
    If I try to turn it back on after it shuts down it will not power back on unless I plug the laptop back into the charger.
    This never happens when plugged in to charger.
    I know battery life can diminsh over time, but this came on all of a sudden; battery life was good (several hours) up until very recently. Now it just shuts down after a few minutes.
    Appreciate any thoughts or advice - Thanks!

    Laptop batteries can and do suddenly go bad. If one or two cells die, they can actually leach power from the other cells. The Smart chip inside the battery can actually go bad and shut the battery down even if the cells have power. The warranty on the battery is (usually) one year and if yours is 11 months old you can likely get HP to ship a new battery to you without returning the whole machine to them.
