Do you have any device wake settings? Check in Windows by launching an administrative command prompt and running "powercfg -devicequery wake_armed".
Also check in BIOS for "Wake on AC".

  • [e540] Windows boots on second time only after being shut down for some time

    Hello!
    My newly installed windows 8.1 on my new laptop Lenovo ThinkPad E540 I have the unfamous boot problem... ( http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1773872/boot-time-cpu-led-stays-time-booting-works-fine.htm... )
    I've read all the stuff about hybrid shutdown and everything, tried to disable it, played with UEFI boot priority in BIOS, and when finally it seemed like FastBoot IS working, (tried it and everything went well and fast), today, when I turned on my lapop, it started, and after windows intro loading animation, it went black, and I heard like HDD stopped working (everything went silent - just like every time since I started to have this problem)...
    AND finally, I'm desperate...
    I turned my laptop off and on yesterday, just to test FastBoot, and, as I said, with no problems... but the day after, same thing happened...
    So - when I turn it off and start again in short time, it seems to work. But when I shut it down for example in the evening, in the morning it freezes again, have to turn it off by pressing power button and then on again, which works... It is driving me crazy..
    IS THERE SOMETHING TO GET IT WORK??

    Hi @Anotheran ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv5-1104tu Notebook and issues with startup. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Not rollback. Restore BIOS defaults are needed.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
    You might want to look at this document on overheating. Which will cause the Notebook to heat up and shut down.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that might need updating.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Why does my MacBook turn itself on after being shut-down completely?

    I've noticed recently that when I get up in the morning my computer is on after I completely shut it down in the evening.  Has someone hacked into my computer?  If so how do I check to find out?

    Welcome back to Apple Support Communities.
    Check System Preferences, Hardware, Energy Saver, Power Adapter to see if 'Wake for Ethernet network access' is checked.  (MacBook 2,1 with OS X 10.6.7 illustrated below).
    If you leave your computer plugged in to Ethernet, and/or AirPort wireless turned on when you shut down, the computer will wake when it receives an incoming Ethernet network signal. Your router or WiFi router sends signals fairly frequently to see if your computer still attached.

  • My laptop takes an extremely long time to start up after being shut down

    When I try to start up my computer it takes between 3-5 mintues to start back up again. 
    MBP 15"
    Purchased in Ocotber of 2011
    Any ideas?

    There are probably a lot of items being started when the computer does. You can open up "System Preferences", click on "Users & Groups", and then click on "Login Items" for a particular user. If you don't see anything suspicious, or anything that can cause long startup issues, navigate to (by pressing shift-command-G when in Finder, and yes, the ~ is necessary):
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents (can also get here by typing /Users/<account name>/Library)
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LanuchDaemons
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/LaunchAgents
    /System/LaunchDaemons
    /System/StartupItems
    If you don't see anything in there that would cause the "long" boot up time, then it is most likely something else (obviously...). If you have FileVault2 enabled, causing your entire hard drive to be enabled for Full Disk Encryption, that might increase the boot up time by a small amount. If you feel that your computer still is booting up way too slowly for your liking, then there could be some helpful indications during bootup. The next time you startup your mac, hold down the Command+V buttons on your keyboard, and you will see lines of text rather than your usual grey screen with the Apple logo

  • My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour.

    My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour.  Its kind of like how you see the world, when you get out of a pool that has too much chlorine.
    I have tried shutting down, and re-starting. I have re-calibrated.
    I have tried changing brightness.
    Nothing works so far.
    HELP

    Wait a few hours before restarting it, also post actual temps.  You can download iStatPro for free, once you have restarted, download it and post the actual temps.
    Also try resettng the PRAM and SMC, do each multiple times. If you don't know how please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

  • Pre email push not syncing with Yahoo Mail or google cal after HP shut down

    HI.  I have a Palm Pre, and while I knew services going through Palm would be dead after the shut down, I assumed anything that was a direct email push through my cell phone carrier or WIFI would be fine.
    I have however suddenly lost email sync with my Yahoo account, google calendar sync (thought the gmail sync works) and Outlook calendar sync through Chapura sync manager.
    Is this a coincidence?  Is there something I can do to fix this?  It makes no sense that services that have nothing to do with Palm should cease to work!
    Thanks!

    I have set up the account using the iPhone's preset service - which I think means it's an exchange account.
    This means the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access for received messages.
    Surely I'm not supposed to close Mail down in order to receive push notifications? And if so, what does that means for Facebook, eBay etc?
    No you are not. With an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled for the account with the account settings on the iPhone, when a new message is received at the incoming mail server the incoming mail server "pushes" the message out automatically without having to check the account for new messages - automatically or manually, which is called fetch.
    Removing the Mail app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar does not quit the app. It removes the app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar only. The iPhone has supported multitasking since day one with included apps. Removing the Mail app, the Messages app, and the Phone app from the fast app switching/recently used app bar does not quit these apps. These apps are always running in the background so to speak in a suspended or frozen state.
    Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3&1/2 years ago.

  • Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    You need to check the software you run.
    Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another.  If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
    How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
    Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
    If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there.  Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
    If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
    It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those.

  • 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

    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!

  • After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word file, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  arted  and tried to open

    After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  . This is REALLY annoying!!

    May be it is the Resume feature.

    Uncheck the box next to      "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    Best.

  • MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

    My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from  10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • Computer starts spontaneously after I shut down

    After I shut down my computer it will start back up automatically. I've already gone through tech support and updated everything as well as gone into the BIOS and made changes. After doing this twice HP sent out a tech and replaced the motherboard and power supply. A week later it has started doing the exact same thing. I bought this computer a little over two months ago. It's an Elite Desktop model. Help please.

    Hey jshimp, 
    I'm sorry you're having this type of issue so soon.
    Has the Power button been looked at or replaced? Could it be getting stuck?
    I would recommend speaking with tech support again and letting them know that the motherboard and power supply have already been replaced. Ask about if any exchange options are available considering the time period. 

  • 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!
