ThinkCentre M73 Restarts When I Shut It Down

Here's a strange one.  My ThinkCentre M73, Windows 8.1, just purchased last week, restarts after I shut windows down.  And it's not because I click the "Restart" button.  When I click Shut Down, it shuts down, and then in about 3 seconds it starts up again.  Any ideas?

Thanks for the hint.  I could not find any wake checkbox on the network adapter configuration, but I have a "Wake" set up in Windows Home Server 2011 when it tries to back it up.  I will check that and let you know.  Thanks.

  • Computer restarts when I shut it down

    Hi everyone,
    I don't know if anyone else has this, but once in a while, when I shutdown the computer, it actually restarts.... First I thought it was my error, selection reboot instead of restard, but.... I closely looked at what I was doing and it restarted. My brother has the exact same iMac, with the exact same configurations and his does it too.
    I upgraded to 10.7.2, and repaired my priveleges just to make sur and still....the same thing.
    Can anyone provide a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    kpott, while I can't offer a solution (yet, still researching), I can confirm the issue -- ever since I upgraded my mid-2010 Mac Pro to Lion, it too will restart instead of shutdown every once in a while. I have not been able to establish a pattern for when/why it happens, nor can I reproduce it reliably. Here are my observations so far:
    This machine had various versions of Snow Leopard (10.6.x) installed, this issue never occured before installing OS X 10.7.x
    The issue only occurs on this computer not on any of the other various Macs in my office/household
    The issue occurs (randomly) regardless of whether I choose "Shut Down..." from the Apple menu or whether I use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl-Eject", and click in "Shut down" or use the keyboard to select the same option
    The issue first occured after upgrading the machine to 10.7 from 10.6.8. Thinking the upgrade process got mangled I did a "virgin" install but the problem remained.
    I exchanged the hard drive for a newly purchased SSD and did another "virgin" install, still the issue reoccured.
    I reset the SMC several times, cleared PRAM, verified the boot volume, created new users, repaired permissions etc., etc. -- nothing helps (so far)
    This is one pesky bug...

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

  • How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

    How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

    That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

    Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of a repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?
    Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

    This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
    I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
    But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
    I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
    Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

  • Thinkpad S540 restarts when i shut down

    Hi
    I have had this laptop for 7 months now, but since about 4 weeks ago when i click on shutdown i realised that it looked like it was shutting down... and 30 seconds later would fire up again.  At first i thought it was me clicking the wrong button, but it has happened daily now.  Only way to shut it down is my removing the power cable and then shutting down.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
    Thank you!
    Solved!

  • How to stop Mac from starting opening applications that were on when I shut it down?

    When my wife wants to finish using her Air she just shuts it down.  Upon restarting it later, however, it launches every application she had been using earlier in the day.  Is there a way to turn this off?

    when you hit  > Shutdown  there comes a dialog. disable the checkbox "reopen windows when logging back in"

  • HP Stream 7 loses Wi-Fi and bluetooth connectivity when I shut it down.

    I own a 5701 and a 5709 and they both have this problem. I am about to send them back.

The interestng thing is if I shutdown and restart the error remains. But if I restart it the problem will clear everytime until the problem reoccurrs.

  • Why won't my Mac lock when I shut it down?

    I have recently found out that my Mac won't lock after I shut it down. And if I leave it in sleep mode, all I have to do to bypass the password screen is just restart it. What can I do to fix this?

    Make sure "Automatic login" is selected "Off" under Users & Groups > Login Options.
    Is this option selected?

  • Can I set Thunderbird to close all tabs when I shut it down so the next session starts fresh.

    I would prefer to have a clear work platform each time I start Thunderbird and only see tabs relevant to that session. If the program could be set to close all tabs automatically when I shut down, that would solve my problem.
    Thanks,
    Keith Marshall.

    I guess your best bet is to right-click the most left tab - 'Close Other Tabs' before shutting down Thunderbird.

  • M4 AQUA Restarting itself and shutting itself down.

    I just got the phone on July 6. Within 2 hours of starting it up at the store it had restarted itself. In  72 hours the phone had 58 System Incidents. Went back to the store had the hardware & sim card replaced. Now the new device is doing the samne thing, but worse! Since July 11 till now I have had 99 System Incidents!!! What is the problem?? I tried doing all the resets and PCC, unloading apps & their updates... Still resets every 20mins or less... Sometime it just completly shuts down! 2 Brand new out of the box devices faultly? Or is it a hardware issue.. I called sony support, they claim (as well as my service provider Virgin Mobile) that I am the first person in North America to be having these problems with their new phone!! The chances I got the only 2 defective ones in a row. I think the odds are to small... Can anyone enlighten my situation or offer suggestions?? I waited 4 years to get a new phone... Maybe I should have waited longer

    Hi, When I got the m4 I had a new nano sim came with it.The sd card was the one that had been in use on my old phone - perhaps I should start off with a new sd card.On some occasions I have noticed that the phone was hot, but mostly I have not noticed, although many times I put the phone down and when I pick it up find that it is off.Since my last post I reinstalled my apps and set up the phones screens how I want them again. Initially I turned off stamina mode to see if that helped but I found it had turned off again after a few hours. I have now switched stamina mode back on.What seems strange to me is that sometimes upon resetting via the hole next to the sd card the record of the system incidents remains other times it starts again from zero.I do hope Sony comes up with a solution as it seems to be a quite widespread problem ( I have since posting read through the other threads) and I would be very happy with the phone if it were not for this issue. As it is, it is pretty well useless for recieving calls because unless you checked it every few minutes to ensure that it had not turned itself off you might miss an important call.I do hope it can be sorted.
