Windows Errors
Windows does not always shut down when you want it to. Sometimes it just hangs or reboots instead of shutting down like it was supposed to. Windows XP, Windows 7, all have these kinds of problems. There’s a troubleshooter built into Windows 7 that assist the user in finding a solution to the problem.
The first problem we will take a look at is the computer will shut down after installing new hardware or software. One of the first solutions you may try is to download and install latest software patches, device drivers, and write down any error codes you may see.
Another solution to combat these errors is to use the system restore function. You may restore your computer to an earlier time before the error caused the problem.
One of the other problems is the computer restarts instead of shutting down. The solution to this could be to this able automatic restart in systems properties. Right click on my computer and select properties, then select the advanced button, click on the settings button in the startup and recovery section and then clear checkmarks next to automatic restart, and then click okay.
Another problem is receiving a stop message at shut down. The one thing you should look for is bad device drivers. The error message should read, stop 0X9F. Or, stop 0X8E, or stop 0X7b.
One of the best ways to get around this problem is to restart, press F8 during the boot, and then select the last known good configuration option that should display on your screen. Another way to get around this problem is to use system restore function and go back to a time before these errors took place.
Windows BSOD
If you have a blue screen of death,BSOD, chances are your problems are severe. Do your best to try and use the solution above or last known good configuration and system restore.
In device manager you may be able to see if there are any exclamation marks next to any hardware device. This will indicate a problem with the device and you may be able to find a solution by simply uninstalling the device and allowing Windows to reinstall the device. This has fixed many problems over the years for me. I have been known to upgrade RAM and video cards for gaming machines. You may want to try a driver scrubber to remove all remnants of a video card driver installation.
Task Manager In Windows 7
Task manager is your friend. In Windows 7 you may right-click on the lower taskbar and select task manager. If you are having troubles using control alt delete, this tip may help you bring up your task manager and search for heavy resource usage in any applications or. Heavy memory or CPU usage can be noted in this task manager. Certain browsers cause heavy load and memory usage, I love Firefox but it has heavy memory usage.
Windows has come a long way, but there is room for improvement.
