Failure analysis and solution for computer shutdown

The shutdown program for Windows will perform the following functions during shutdown: Complete all disk writes--clear the disk cache--Perform a close window program to close all currently running programs--Convert all protected-mode drivers to Cheng Shi mode.

The main causes of shutdown failures in Windows systems are the corrupted sound files that were selected when exiting Windows, or the improper configuration or damage to the hardware; The settings for the BIOS configuration are incompatible; The Advanced power management or Advanced Configuration and Power Interface settings in the BIOS are not appropriate; No IRQ is assigned to the video card in real mode; a program or TSR program may not be properly closed; an incompatible, Corrupted or conflicting device drivers, and so on.

Computer can not shut down the machine failure analysis and resolution:

1. Corrupted sound files when exiting Windows

First determine if the exit Windows sound file is corrupted-open Control Panel, turn on sound, and cancel the "Exit Windows" sound. If Windows shuts down correctly, the problem is caused by exiting the sound file, to resolve this problem, you can restore the sound file from the backup or reinstall the program that provided the sound file, or you can define "exit Windows" as silent.

2. Fast shutdown not normal

A quick shutdown is a new feature in Windows98 that can significantly reduce shutdown time, but this feature is incompatible with some hardware and may cause your computer to stop responding. You can run "Msconfig" and disable Fast shutdown in the advanced option. If the computer shuts down properly, there is a problem with the incompatible hardware device.

3. Note "Advanced Power Management"

Also, the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature on your computer can cause shutdown crashes or black screen problems. To determine if APM will cause a shutdown problem, open Device Manager and open system devices. In Advanced power Management, remove the Enable power management option. If the computer shuts down normally, the problem may be APM.

4. Startup is shutdown failure

You often encounter when Windows just started the show "You can safely shut down the computer," or at the beginning of the shutdown or shutdown when the failure to reboot. This type of failure is generally caused by damage to Wininit.exe or Vmm32.vxd files. The workaround is to reset the two files from the Windows Installer Compression pack. In the Windowssystem subdirectory, rename Vmm32.vxd to vmm32.xxx for backup, then open System Tools, select System Information--"System File Checker" in Tools, select "Extract a file from installation disk", and enter " Wininit.exe "or" Vmm32.vxd ". Repeat this step to replace the file Wininit.exe or Vmm32.vxd.

There's a problem with 5.config.sys or Autoexec.bat.

Extracts a file from the installation disk, in addition to checking for conflicts in the Config.sys file or Autoexec.bat file. Use a text editor to view the contents of these two files to see if there are any extra commands, or "REM" to prevent certain statements from being executed, and then to exclude them until a conflicting command is found.

6. Check CMOS settings

CMOS settings will also cause the computer shutdown problem, in the computer startup can enter the CMOS settings page, focus on checking CPU FSB, power management, virus detection, IRQ in the disconnect, the disk boot sequence, and other options settings are correct. Specific settings you can refer to your motherboard manual, which has a very detailed set of instructions, if the setting is really not understand, it is recommended to direct the factory default settings.
