Portege M300 hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen

The computer hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen. The same happens in hibernation mode. I have to turn off the computer by holding the on/off button.
I have updated my bios, installed all windows updates that are available and done a numer of other things. It startd just out of the blue. Any ideas?

Hi
Does it happen after the OS installation from the Toshiba recovery CD???
Did you install any further programs???
I have noticed a similar freezing on my notebook. Mostly it happened because the background process did not close and therefore the notebook could not force the shut down. In my case it was a adobe acrobat reader which could not close.
I think you should defragment you HDD and use the CCleaner freeware application.
This program cleans program errors and corrects the registry entries.
Try it! Maybe its not a serious issue!

  • Hang on Windows shutting down

    P67A-GD55 (B3) v4.2
    Intel® Celeron® Processor G530 (2M Cache, 2.40 GHz)
    Intel 1000 PT Dual Port WOL enabled
    BCM 5709C Dual Port WOL enabled
    RealTek 8111E WOL enabled
    I installed Windows 7 and upgraded BIOS to v4.2. After installing Intel ME 8, the system hangs on shutting down. No error in event viewer, just transition to shutdown then it hangs(click shutdown, screeen showing "shutting down"==> hang in 5s, still showing shutting down but the circle is not moving any more).
    I read somewhere it might be related to WOL enabled. I do need WOL on at least one card, is there anything else that might cause the hang on shutting down?
    BTW why MSI stopped offering BIOS update file for mflash or DOS? I know I can probably extract the BIOS image from exe but why does MSI decide to completely rely on Windows? I don't plan to use Windows but still have to install it just to upgrade the BIOS and try out some features in UEFI(e.g. browser.... also dependent on Windows)

    Probably too much running in the background that has to finish what it's doing for the shutdown sequence. UEFI/BIOS v4.1 is better than v4.2. Most likely been better off to have never flashed an Ivy update in the first place.

    They didn't stop. If you would read Page 15 of the SOP, you would find how to flash in DOS. Why install an Ivy UEFI/BIOS when not using one?

  • Computer Keeps Running after Windows Shuts Down

    I recently installed XP SP2 for the first time.  Now, when I shut down Windows, the OS shuts down fine and the screen goes blank, but the computer itself keeps running for about 15 seconds.  This has never happened before.  Any ideas?

    Try a more powerful power supply.  It normal rated load on the 12v rail is only 4.5 amps with a max of 16.

  • Hp 300-1223 window 7 want shut down with power also the screen black

    all in one 300-1223 that want shut down with the power button every still run's and the scrren stay black when power up .Using window's7. Help please

    It could be the power supply, shorted device of any kind attached (bad printer, flash drive, keyboard, mouse, network connection), memory problem, video card fan not spinning and the video card could have overheated, bad capacitors (rounded or leaking a brown or dark substance). The first think you should do is make sure it is not under warrantee.  If it is, contact HP.  If it isn't, remove the cover and inspect the board for bad capacitors, fans not turning, disconnect all non essential items like the hard drive, DVD, floppy if you have one, all external devices (yes the monitor) and turn on the computer. Does it appear to stay on? If yes, shut it down by holding in the power button for 5 or more seconds or flipping the power switch on the power supply or pulling the plug. Connect the monitor and then one item at a time leaving the hard drive with your important data as the last item. If it didn't stay on. Try to use only one piece of memory and try each memory slot, try the next piece etc. If that doesn't work, the best guess is the power supply (if you have an ohm meter - test the power supply first).  You can run a anti-virus/adware/spyware check by removing the drive and attaching it as a 2nd drive on another machine.  You could also run a check disk while it is there.  I like to download the hard drive manufacturer's disk certification test iso image and make a bootable cd.  Boot off the cd and test your drive.  It can fix bad sectors and some minor drive problems.

  • When i start firefox double clicking the short cut icon, it runs in the processes but the user interface window does not comes up in the screen,please help.

    in my laptop,i generally use windows xp, due to some problems i repaired the window, after some days without any notice the above problem starts. but internet explorer 8 shows up with a perfect window, but a bit slow in every respect compared to firefox. above all if i start the window in safe mode firefox runs perfectly.please help, i ve tried every possible way(installing different anti-viruses, acessing through set program and defaults).

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Firefox doesn't close when Windows shuts down

    When Windows (in my case: Win XP SP3) shuts down, it sends a message ("QUERY_UNLOAD" in many programming languages) so that the active programs can finish their jobs (e.g. ask about unsaved data) and then exit. It seems you developers have reached v25 of Firefox and not thought of programming this small bit -> Windows shut down - an open Firefox doesn't give a fuck about exiting, you have to cancel it via Windows.
    It would be nice to have this little effort of programming done - at last - thank you.

    What an answer: The user asked to circumvent the shortcomings of a program.
    Firefox should be able to do what 99% of all programs actually do, i.e. close gracefully when Windows shuts down. This is the industry standard.
    And: I guess it's not more than a 2- to 5-lines code. So, don't try to evade it, lazy.

  • Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down?

    Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down the computer?
    This only happened after my computer attempted to download security update 2013-003 version 1.
    I have an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on OSX 10.7.5.
    I repaired all disk permission, and then verified and fixed the disk.
    My hardware diagnostics program gave all systems a green light.
    After all this, the system still hangs.
    This must be an operating system glitch.
    How do I fix it?
    If you tell me to reload the operating system, then I'll have to go retro with Snow Leopard.
    All subsequent updates were purchased from Apple on the Internet and downloaded.

    Not so. You use the recovery mode to reinstall Lion. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Computers using Internet Recovery.

  • After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 the screen will periodically black out.  i have to shut it down 2 or 3 times to get it to come back on correctly.  any idea on a fix.  i have done a restore and that did not help

    After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 the screen will periodically fade out to black and will not come back up.  I have to shut the phone off and back on 2 or 3 times to get it to come back on.  I have done a restore and that did not help.  any ideas?  is this happening to anyone else?

    did you restore from backup or as a new device?  Restore as a new device.  Before you add any apps to it, use the phone with just the iOS-installed apps.  If it's fine, slowly add a few purchased apps back at a time.  Do this until the offending app is found. 

  • Windows shuts down Premier Elements 9 randomly

    I have a more than adequate Windows 7 based computer.  My hard drive died before Christmas and I had to reinstall the software.  I created a new project with captured video and added some background music.  Did not save often unfortunately and lost it all when windows shut down the program.  Recreated it from scratch, saving often and still had occasional shut downs while creating the project.  It's only about a 30min video with some added sound tracks and a few title screens.  Now, when trying to make a DVD, it gets through Encoding 4 Menus and will begin encoding media.  Sometimes makes it 7% sometimes 80% and then windows message says program has stopped working, shutting down.  I see progress bar was still moving just seconds before the shutdown.  Tried to convert to an MPEG and save on my computer instead and got the same shutdown notice.  I just saw the FFDShow codec note and have not checked to see if that is on my computer or not.  Would deleting this folder potentially solve this?  Forgot to mention, Premier Elements is on non partitioned C drive with 100+GIG free space, save location is on a partitioned drive F with 300+GIG free space.

    Is there an update link for Premier 9?  I saw one come through this morning for 9.0.3 but the one in your "Hangs UP" thread is only for 9.0.1.  Tried to update to 9.0.3 but would not connect to Adobe server this morning.

  • Windows shuts down while importing CDs

    Please help!
    I purchased my iPod 30 Gig Video about two weeks ago. I have a Windows XP Home SP2 computer. When I’m importing CDs Windows shuts down the computer and dumps the physical memory. This happens when I usually put in the second CD. Here are the specs of my computer:
    AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    2.08 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
    I have a Memorex DVD 16+/-DL4RWD2 DVD/CD-ROM drive
    For my virus protection I’m using Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security2006
    When the problem first started I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes/iPod software. I made sure that all of the previous versions of iTunes and Quicktime were deleted. When I reinstalled I turned off my virus protection.
    Lately when I’ve come across this problem I turn off the virus protection thinking that that might have something to do with it.
    I have all the current Windows updates and the drivers for all of my hardware is also current. I don’t know if my virus protection is causing many problems (i.e. firewall, etc.) Can someone please help?
    Thanks.

    Your's isn't a dual processor (or simulated dual processor, aka, hyperthreaded) machine, is it? I and many others have found this problem to occur on such machines (when is Apple going to fix this problem?) Some have found forcing iTunes to run on only one processor to be a successful workaround (there are at least a couple freeware utilities out there (I don't recall their names OTTOMH) that will force a PC app to run on only one processor on multi-processor machines, or you can try, after starting iTunes up, cntr-alt-deleting and selecting Task Manager, then in the list of running apps, right-click on iTunes and choose Go To Process, then right-click on the selected process and select Set Affinity, and uncheck one (or all but one if you happen to have more than two processors) of the boxes) but this didn't work for me: I had to physically remove one of my two processors - I haven't had the problem since, so I'm confident that was (is) the problem in my case. (But I'm still ****** 'cause I very purposefully bought a dual processor machine; it just so happens that right now I'm doing more CD importing than dual core work, so for now it's the best solution for me, but I eagerly await the day I hear that Apple has FIXED THIS PROBLEM!)

  • Mac hangs up on shut down

    Hi everyone. I'm experiencing a hang up issue as I'm attempting to shut down or restart my Mac. I've attempted numerous fixes including verifying permissions, running fsck -fy, creating a new user account, but with no luck. When you click shut down, it basically removes everything from the screen except the background and after about 3 seconds, the grey wheel will spin and it hangs at that point. I've left it spinning for hours. I did snoop around in the log, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing the problem. I also downloaded Onyx and cleaned up a bunch of stuff, but to no avail. When I attempt to shut down, no other programs are running, other than Finder. The Mac will shut down if I push the switch in the back, but that's not a good way to shut down obviously.
    Here is the log file from the point of shut down. There were no logs in the "Crash Reporter" folder. The problem may be something involving launchctl or launchd, but I'm not sure. Please help. Thanks a bunch!

  • Persistent USB Arch installation fails to boot after first shut down

    Hey all,
    I've recently installed Arch on a 32-GB USB flash drive (with the help of the wiki, of course).  I have some experience installing arch on my computers, so the process went relatively smoothly.  As some background info, I AM using UUIDs in both the bootloader and the fstab file, so that shouldn't be a problem.
    Anyways, the problem itself: I have arch installed and ready to go, and it boots up fine (the first time).  The thing is, after I shut down, if I try to boot the USB drive again, it simply hangs there-- no boot.  What's weirder is not only does it not boot, but it also freezes the host computer at that point in the boot cycle.  I mean, everything will be frozen up at the startup BIOS/splash whatever screen when the USB key is in, but once I take it out the computer will boot up regularly.  It's really strange.
    If I reinstall the bootloader on the USB drive then everything works again (that is, until I reboot).
    Is the bootloader somehow getting corrupted while shutting down?  I have tried using both GRUB and SYSLINUX (not at the same time of course) but they both behave the same.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time,
    Ushahin

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … nvironment
    Here you need to set the right hooks if the root is on a USB drive, if you use RAID, LVM, or if /usr is on a separate partition.
    Did you remember to do this?
    If not, mount the partition(s) starting with the root partition first, chroot into it, edit that file and re-generate the initramfs. Then reboot with the reboot command, don't forcefully shut it down using the power button or something like that.
    It could also be a BIOS issue. Restore its defaults, set "Removable Dev." first, "CD-ROM" second (if you have an optical drive), "Internal Storage" third. Then select the USB stick as the first to boot in the boot priority screen.

  • MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT

    After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
    Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
    Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
    Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
    Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
    I hope someone can help me out with this!

    Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
    The report I send to Apple contains the following:
    ... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
    panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
    Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
    Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks!
