Windows 8.1 Bitlocker - automatic shutdown during password prompt

Hi,
I´ve activated Bitlocker on my hard disk.
As I have no TPM socket on my motherboard, I activated a group policy as described here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6229/how-to-use-bitlocker-on-drives-without-tpm/
"Require additional authentication at startup"> "Allow Bitlocker without a compatible TPM"
Encryption was completed and everything worked fine after that.
But when I next time started my pc it suddenly shuts down while I typed my password.
The shutdown is at about 1 minute after the Bitlocker screen appears but sometimes it is even earlier. Even if I start typing my password, the pc shuts down.
Are there any bios settings that could interrupt Bitlocker? Are there recommendations for the bios setup when using Bitlocker (boot priority, power settings,..)? Or what else can it be?
Regards

Hi,
Meanwhile, have you checked the power performance? Is it using a battery or a electric connector, try to switch the power supply method and make sure the power is stable for your computer and make sure that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately
handle the installed devices.
And make sure all drivers are up-to date.
Actually I never heard that a bitlocker can cause this issue, have you tried some advanced startup option like startup repair I mentioned in my previous reply, or other listed in the following link? what is the result?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7
If possible, I suggest you take your pc to a native repair shop to find if something we missed.

  • Freezes on startup during password prompt

    Whenever I restart my computer it boots normally until the password prompt comes on. It still looks fine until i go to enter in a password.
    As soon as i begin to enter a password the color spinning wheel appears and will start spinning forever. I usually have to turn it off and then turn it back on again.
    Then sometimes on restart it will just go to a gray apple screen with the apple logo and hte spinning progress dial. This can also go on forever.
    After many times of restarting the computer it will work. But i just switched to a mac and was wondering if there is anything I might be doing wrong or anything I should do to fix this.
    Thanks

    There's no reason not to take it in or call Applecare on the phone--I have found them to be very good at walking you through problems and determining if it is just a matter of setting preferences or if there is something actually wrong.
    If you have access to an Apple store, I think they have free classes which will teach you how to use your computer (at least our Apple Store does). You might find this helpful if you are new to Macs.
    Good luck!

  • Create a windows script to automate shutdown databases during maintainance

    Can any one please me the script to automate shutdown databses during maintainance.
    The script would be scheduled from the Windows server and will be shutting down databases hosted in AIX server .
    Windows server will interact with Aix servers using SQLPLUS COMMANDS (TNSNAMES).
    Please let me know because I am working on this issue and it needs to be resolved.

    There are thousands of scripts available, just google it. In creation/execution of your script, if you face any problem or see any errors than you can come here and post it.

  • R&R won't install on Windows 7 with BitLocker

    Hi all,
    I am trying to install the latest version of R&R (v4.3) on my T400 that is running Windows 7 64 bits. In my setup, I have 3 partitions (C, D and E) and have BitLocker enabled for C and E.
    While trying to install, I got the warning message to suspend or remove BitLocker encryption before I'm allowed to continue. I followed the instructions to suspend BitLocker in C and restarted the installation. However, I'm again prompted with the same warning message as before.
    I just want to check if this is a bug with the installer (since I've already suspended BitLocker in C) or do I really have to remove BitLocker from both C and E partitions (which I really hate to as its really time consuming).
    Any advice is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Maybe too muh info, but really usefull for your situation:
    To achieve compatibility with BitLocker Drive Encryption, it is recommended to
    install the Rescue and Recovery program to your operating system after the
    partitions are properly set up with the Microsoft Bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool.
    When setting up the BitLocker partition, it is recommended to use the Microsoft
    BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool. The boot partition should be at least 2 GB in
    size.
    If you do not use the BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool to prepare the BitLocker
    partition, you must have two partitions on your system when installing Windows
    => One partition should be 2 GB and marked as active; this is where the boot files
    reside.
    => The other is where your operating system is installed and where your data
    will reside. When Windows 7 is installed, it will detect the two partitions and
    should install only the boot files to the smaller partition. Both partitions should be
    type 0x07.
    Compatibility with BitLocker without TPM
    If the security chip (TPM) is not activated in the BIOS Setup Utility, to achieve
    compatibility with BitLocker without TPM, do the following:
    1. Run gpedit.msc from the Start menu. The Group Policy Editor window opens.
    2. Click Computer Configuration → Windows Components → BitLocker Drive
    Encryption → Operating System Drives.
    3. Enable the Require additional authentication at startup option
    4. Select the option Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM.
    Best practice of BitLocker encryption on a system with the
    Rescue and Recovery program
    To have the Rescue and Recovery program work correctly with BitLocker in
    Windows 7:
    1. Uninstall the Rescue and Recovery program if it has been installed.
    2. Restart the computer and use the BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool to prepare
    the system for BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    3. Install the Rescue and Recovery program and restart the computer.
    4. Start BitLocker from Control Panel and choose the partition to encrypt.
    Note: It is recommended to encrypt the Windows operating system partition
    (usually drive C) only.
    5. Click Turn on BitLocker, and follow the instruction on the screen to encrypt
    the chosen partition. After that, a recovery key is automatically created.
    6. Save the recovery key to a USB storage device.
    Note: Keep the USB storage device in a secured place. The recovery key is
    needed when booting to Windows 7 or the Rescue and Recovery workspace.
    The BitLocker encryption will be lost if the hard disk drive is cleared by the
    Diskpart commands or other hard disk tools.
    7. Wait until the encryption process completes. After that, you can use the Rescue
    and Recovery program to perform backup and restore operations.
    For more information about BitLocker, go to the Microsoft Web site at:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933246/
    Notes:
    1. When setting up BitLocker in Windows 7, the BitLocker partition should be
    after the Windows operating system partition for best results. If it is placed
    before the Windows operating system partition, the partition number will need
    to be updated in the Rescue and Recovery ADM settings.
    2. When restoring a system that is using Windows 7 and BitLocker, a message
    will display, indicating that there was an error at shutdown. The message can
    be ignored and everything should operate normally.
    3. For OEM or non-Lenovo standard preload systems, you need to suspend the
    encryption of the Windows operating system partition when performing any
    backup or restore operations using the Rescue and Recovery program,
    otherwise the Rescue and Recovery program will not enter PDA.
    4. You might need to clear the TPM and encrypt the partitions again after
    restoring the system from a backup with BitLocker encryption.
    Let me know, if you need any more specific information.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • I am unable to sync photos to iPad. My computer shutdown during the photo optimisation process

    I am using the latest software and updates on both my iPad 2 and windows 7 32 bit laptop. I have reinstalled the latest edition of iTunes, and yet I still cannot do a synch to my iPad 2 as the computer shutdown during photo optimisation.
    I have even reinstalled windows so there is nothing else I can think of.
    Does anyone know how I can get photos on my iPad without making windows shutdown... It's driving me mad. Seems to be ok with my iPod and iphone4, it's just the iPad that's causing the trouble. Help me PLEASE!!!

    Do you mean crashes (as in some software problem) or turns off completely (hardware issue) ?
    If it's crashing then it's a different problem and you'd be better starting a new thread. If it's hardware then the same things apply as have already been mentioned above.
    It's clear that iPhoto (at least the Mac version, I don't use Windows) puts a lot of load on the processor - more than most people ever do at other times. If the thermal management is not up to scratch, the processor will overheat, and the machine will just switch off without warning. I agree it's "rather annoying" In programming terms it's the right thing to to, run parallel threads and fully utilise the resources available - you don't worry about overheating the processor since that should not happen in a properly designed and built system.
    So check your BIOS settings to make sure any settings there are correct. If the machine is still under warranty then take it back to the supplier and tell them the thermal management isn't right. Other than that, you may have to start investigating the hardware - is the heatsink and fan up to the job, is the headsink properly mated to the processor, and so on. I'd not suggest getting into this yourself unless you know what you are doing - find someone that does since it's easy to make matters worse.
    As I mentioned above, at first I was doing photos in small batches (or or two events or folders at a time) and allowing the processor to cool down in between (you need a utility that will tell you the core temperature to do this). This is a right PITA though. Then I found there is a utility in Apple's dev tools for turning off cores for testing - turning off a core made things run more slowly but meant that the processor didn't overheat and I could just leave it. It may be worth looking in your BIOS and/or OS to see if there's something similar - or a means of turning down the clock speed.

  • WebLogic Datasources : Automatically Shutdown and Start up

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with my datasources, I have WLST script which shutdown and start automatically some datasources in my environment, all of them in my crontab !
    Follow exactly my script !
    [weblogic@wls_server restartDS]$ cat shutdownDS1.py | more
    connect('weblogic','password','t3://server:10000')
    domainConfig()
    servers = cmo.getServers()
    domainRuntime()
    for server in servers:
    try:
    print 'check ' + server.getName()
    print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1'
    cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA1')
    objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
    stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
    invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
    except WLSTException,e:
    print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
    for server in servers:
    try:
    print 'check ' + server.getName()
    print '/ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2'
    cd('ServerRuntimes/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCServiceRuntime/' + server.getName() + '/JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBeans/MYDATASOURCE-XA2')
    objectArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.Object)
    stringArray = jarray.array([], java.lang.String)
    invoke('shutdown', objectArray, stringArray)
    except WLSTException,e:
    print server.getName() + 'is not running.'
    exit()
    Don´t worry, I have another script which kill XA3 and XA4 datasources as well, so, this way, I have load balancing here !
    It works with CRONTAB !
    The problem here is : Doesn´t matter if datasources are running or not, simply , datasources automatically shutdown and after that, start it! But I would like to improve this, I would like to implement datasource status condition, I mean, when datasource it become overloaded, it kill automatically , this way, I would not use crontab, but another kind of trigger |!
    Did you see this before ?
    I would like to improve this workaround !
    Just keep in mind, me and my team, didn´t discover the root cause yet, so, this automatically datasource restart is a kind of workaround!
    Thanks in advance !
    Edson

    Hmm. what was the problem app?
    Force a shut down by holding the power button for an extended amount.
    Reboot into SafeBoot mode to clear cache files, then reboot as normal.

  • Automatic shutdown of an database's instance

    For some unknown reasons, an instance of our database was shutdown automatically almost every night. I have to run Oracle Enterprice Manager to re-open the instance.
    I checked Windows Event Viewer but I could not find any info to determine which cause our database's instance shutting down. Our Oracle version: 9.2
    Anyone know what would have caused an automatic shutdown of an database instance in Oracle?
    Please help
    Thanks

    Thanks for all responses to my question.
    I found the cause of automatic terminating database instance.
    I looked into the Oracle trace log and I found the error 340: IO file lock by other process. Then I googled this error and found a related article. One of the oracle files was locked by Veritas File Backup Exec process to perform nightly backup.

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • IPAD: Forced Shutdown During Update. iPad No Longer Working! Help?

    I did a force shutdown during the latest ios6 bug fix update and now my ipad will not work at all. iTunes does not reckognise the device when I connect it to my pc via usb. I have tried everything I can think of to have it start but with no success. It just keeps displaying the Apple logo, then flickering, then showing some text data in white, then goes to a blank black screen, then the logo and all over again. It does shutdown but cannot do a startup to the swipe lock page.
    It would be hard to believe one could fully kill an ipad so quickly and easily. Please tell me that this is a fixable problem! Any way to get it to start again?
    Thanks!
    Manahen

    You will need to restore your iPad to factory from recovery mode and connecting to your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and hold the home and power button down for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple. Once you see the silver apple let go of the power button but keep holdng the home button until you see the itunes logo and white usb cord. At this point you should be able to restore in itunes.

  • AUTOMATIC PO DURING GR

    Hi,
    I have done the customization for automatic PO during GR.
    The system is creating a purchase order with the Info record price.
    Now my question is:  Since the cost of the item is totally fluctuating is it technically possible to enter the cost during GR ?
    So that the system creates the PO with the cost entered during GR.
    I think this is not possible with standard. But would like to have experts opinion.
    Regards,
    Shakthi.

    Hi Shakthi,
    Ideally GR is done with material master price....means with the internal valuation exclusive for a plant.
    So I dont think the PO conditions will get generated with GR price....
