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!

  • 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.

  • HTC ONE randomly shut down now requires password to decrypt storage..

    I have had my ONE for a couple of months and had MULTIPLE issues but this one takes the cake!   I was in Wal-Mart and the phone randomly shut down with a full battery.  It would never reboot on it's own so I had to push power down and volume down to get reboot screen.  When it finally restarted, it came up with a screen that says "Type password to decrypt storage" or "place an emergency call".  I never set a password so am unclear on what to do from here.  Tried to factory reset but it doesn't work.  Any advice??

        That's pretty strange, dstenz50. It takes a few steps to encrypt a phone http://bit.ly/1kdQYgh and I haven't come across it doing the process on it's own. Has anyone had access to your phone? Did you previously set up a PIN or password to your device? What's the exact message you're seeing?

  • My computer just shuts down randomly

    Does anyone know why my computer would just shut down randomly? I have know idea. I ran Disk Utilities, Tech Tool and Norton and found nothing wrong. Do I need to reinstall my system again? Any help would be great.

    Have a look at the logs with the Console app, located in /Applications/Utilities. Look specifically at system.log and see if there are any entries in there around the time that the computer shuts down. Look for entries with "shutdown" in them.
    Oh, and what Norton product do you have? They're notorious for causing more problems than they solve.

  • I upgraded to lion. I now have the spinning wheel on the startup screen when I try to enter my user name and password. I tried shutting down and restarting, no luck

    I upgraded to lion. I now have the spinning wheel on the startup screen when I try to enter my user name and password. I tried shutting down and restarting, no luck

    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • I have been shut down from my previous email address as I left my company's email system, I am now on gmail and have changed my Apple Id and password successfully unfortunately I dont understand what I need to do to change my ICloud, IFace etc...ID?

    I have bene shut down from my previous Apple email ID as i left my company email' server. I have move to gmail and have successfully reset my Apple ID accordingly. My iCloud, IFace etc...unfortunately pop up with the previous email address and I dont remember the password, so I cant get in and change it to gmail! Anyone out there knows what to do, i would be very grateful, thanks. M

    First thing to try is just to sign out on all your devices. If you can do that you can just sign in with the new ID. However if you've set up 'Find My iPhone' you won't be able to.
    In that event go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • My caps lock was stuck and I shut down. Now it's coming back up in safe boot and asking for a password. It won't take my password, I believe because of the caps lock problem. So, how can I get in?

    My caps lock was stuck when I shut down my computer. It is coming back up in safe boot (I had spilled liquid on it).
    It's asking for my password - which has some lower case letters...So now how can I get in?
    Is there a way to change this password or something?
    I have a wireless keyboard, but it wasn't set up - so, It's not recognizing it.
    Any ideas?

    Take your computer to get the keyboard replaced, your lucky it didn't trigger the moisture sensor and brick your machine, so your chances of the machine working well after the keyboard is replaced is likely very good.
    As long as the main keyboard is sending a caps lock signal, it's not going to work even if you get in.
    If you need to remove files off the internal drive, use a Firewire cable (800 to 400 adpater may be needed) and hold T to boot the problem Mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and connect the cable to another Mac, the hard drive will appear on the desktop which you can then remove/erase files.

  • I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

  • After forced shut down iosx does not accept the password on the mcbook air

    Hi there,
    I cannot login into the mcbook air after having to force a shut down.
    - While surfing with Safari, the mcbook froze for a longer period of time.
    - We forced the shut down pressing the on/off button.
    - After rebooting, we have a grayish screen with the apple logo, the user name, the password field and in the bottom three options: idle mode (rest), restart & shut down.
    - When the password is entered, the wheel shortly turns and the mcbook stays with the same login screen without letting me enter the mcbook.
    - When using an incorrect password the password-field shakes.
    I tried booting with CMD + R and did check the volume and the access rights. Both showed no failures.
    What could I try next to fix the problem? Ideally without having to set up the mcbook from scratch and losing the settings and data.
    I do not know the exact IOSX status. It was bought in Nov-2012 and updated once since then I assume it is Snow Leopard
    Thank you for your help!
    Regards
    Lottchen2007

    If you can boot into the Recovery Volume, it isn't Snow Leopard.

  • For some reason when I shut down my computer then turn it back on, it comes back directly into my account, bypassing having to enter a password to get into my account.  This works in direct conflict with the parental controls I've got set up.  Any ideas?

    Thank you so much for the quick response to my question.  I tested your directions and it works!!  Thank you.  I would never have figured that out.  I knew I had to go into System Preferences but would not have guessed that I needed to have Automatic Login set to off. 

  • How to set up password from power on (from shut down)

    I have 2 powerbooks and set up passwords for them. For older PBG3, it seems working the password from power on from shut down. But, PBG4 doesn't show up to input password when power on from shut down. It just asks from wake of sleep.
    Where can I set up password for this?

    842/3288
    Hi Blue Sky,
    - Check in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options
    if the option "Automatically log in as" is disabled.
    - Another matter, about increasing security with PowerBooks:
    Read it carefully before using it, but this can be useful:

  • How can I log in to my computer?  I changed language on keyboard and I shut down my computer.Now keyboard has no numbers,  which I need for my pc password

    Yesterday I was working on my computer and I changed English to Lithuanian language on the keyboard. I shut down my computer. Now when I want open it, I can't type correct password to access my account . There is left Lithuanian language on keybord, with has no numbers. And I need numbers to use for my password.

    It does have numbers of course, they are made by first hitting the ` key (top most left most on a US keyboard) and then the usual number key.  Have you tried that?   Such combos often don't work in password fields, but you never know.

  • Admin name/password when shutting down

    Here's a weird one. Just got a MacBook and transferred data/settings etc. from iBook using firewire. Everything seems to work, except: when multiple users are logged in, and I try to shut down, it asks for Admin name/password in order to shut down. Same as iBook, except the MacBook doesn't recognize either the name of the Admin or the password (don't know which). The admin password worked for installing software updates, so I'm totally confused. I reset the admin password using the install disc, but it still doesn't recognize the name or password. Anyone have a clue to help? Log in password works, as does the app. install (as I mentioned).

    Thank for the hint, James!
    There was a problem with an "extra" user logged in - "_xcsbuildd ".
    "sudo xcrun xcscontrol --reset" completely removes the Xcode Service including the _xcsbuildd user.
