Why doesn't the computer shut down properly?

Win XP shutdown failure

For Windows XP, because it uses a higher security performance NT kernel, the system is stable, in addition to the slow shutdown speed, in general, rarely shutdown failure. However, some of the following symptoms you should also be concerned about.

1. Shutdown reboot failure

This failure is the most likely failure of the Windows XP operating system shutdown failure. The cause of this failure may be the following reasons:

1) System setup in the chaos

Windows XP automatically restarts when an error occurs on the system, so that when the user shuts down, the computer restarts when a system error occurs during shutdown. Turning this feature off often solves the problem of automatic restart.

Right-click on "My Computer" on the desktop, select Properties from the pop-up right-click menu, eject the System Properties window, click the "Advanced" tab, and tap the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section to eject the Startup and Recovery window. In the System failure section, remove the check box before the automatic restart option, and click OK.

2 Advanced power Management in the tricks

As we all know, shutdown is closely related to power management, the cause of shutdown failure is likely to be the power management of the system to support poor results.

Click on "start → settings → control Panel → performance and maintenance → power options", in the pop-up window, enable or cancel the "Advanced Power support" as needed. If you are using "Advanced Power Support" in the event of a failure, try to cancel it, and if the failure occurs, you are using the "Advanced Power support" to try to enable it, the fault will often be solved.

3) USB device is not worry

USB device is now a big line of its way, what U disk, mouse, keyboard, modem and so on, everything. These USB devices are often blamed for shutting down the machine. When the shutdown becomes a reboot failure, if you have a USB device on your computer, unplug it and try again, if you're sure it's a USB device failure, it's best to replace the device, or connect an external USB hub to the USB hub, Instead of connecting directly to the USB connector on the motherboard.

2, shut down the computer blue screen

1) Windows XP has bugs

Windows XP has a shutdown error, if your computer in the process of shutdown is often a blue screen shutdown, and the fault is intermittent, press the "Ctrl+alt+delete" button also has no response, then you can be sure that your system has not been patched accordingly. Please download SP1 patch pack on the patch, generally on it.

2 Innovative sound card drivers have problems

If you are using an innovative sound card and a blue screen in the shutdown process, the error code is "0X0A", please go to Device Manager, remove the sound card, and refresh, manually install the latest digitally signed driver.

3 Logitech Mouse, keyboard is not perfect

If you are using the Logitech Network keyboard and have the key Commander software installed to drive the corresponding network function of the keyboard, it is possible that the shutdown becomes a reboot failure. If your Logitech Mouse driver is MouseWare8.6, it will cause the shutdown blue screen to fail, and you can only solve the problem by uninstalling the driver.

3, the shutdown can not automatically cut off the power

As we all know, shutdown is closely related to power management, the cause of shutdown failure is likely to be the power management system support is not good. Click on "start → settings → control Panel → performance and maintenance → power options", in the pop-up window, enable or cancel the "Advanced Power support" as needed.

If you are using "Advanced Power Support" in the event of a failure, try to cancel it, or if you are using "Advanced Power support" when the failure occurs, try to enable it, and the failure will often be solved.

In addition, USB devices are often responsible for shutdown failures. When the shutdown becomes a reboot failure, if you have a USB device on your computer, unplug it first and try again. If you are sure that the USB device is a failure, it is best to replace the device, or to connect an external USB hub, USB device to the USB hub, rather than directly to the motherboard on the USB interface.

1 does not turn on power support

Click "start → settings → control panel → power Options → high energy power management", check "Enable Advanced Power management support."

2 Incorrect BIOS settings

may be mistakenly modified in the BIOS on power management options, if you are familiar with the BIOS settings, please enter the BIOS, try to modify the BIOS on power management options. If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS, simply select the "Load default Setup" option to restore the BIOS to the factory default settings.

3 Office XP is also a troublemaker

Ctfmon.exe has been a contentious issue in Office XP. Ctfmon.exe is a Microsoft text service file that is automatically invoked by users who install Office XP and install the optional user Input method component, providing text input support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboards, and other input technologies. Even if we don't start office xp,ctfmon.exe run in the background. This is it, often caused the shutdown failure, you may wish to uninstall it try.

Click on "start → settings → control Panel → add/Remove Programs", select "Microsoft Office XP Professionain with FrontPage" in the currently installed program, click the "Change" button, and in the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, select Add or Remove Features option, Next, eject the "Select installation options for all Office applications and Tools" dialog box, expand the Office Shared Features option, select the "Chinese optional User Input Method" option, select "Do not install" in the pop-up menu, click "Update" button.

4) Apm/nt Legacy node not open

Under normal circumstances apm/nt Legacy node does not open may cause shutdown but can not automatically cut off the power. Go to Device Manager, click "view → show hidden devices" in the menu bar to display all hidden devices in the system. View the APM/NT Legacy node option in the Device list box. If your computer supports this feature, you will have this option, double-click, in the Pop-up Properties dialog box, click the "Enable Device" button.

5, improper power settings caused by the failure of the normal shutdown

After installing the WinXP can not automatically shutdown, such as the exclusion of the above reasons, it is possible that the power options in its control panel is not set correctly, please check your settings to ensure that ACPI and APM can work properly. There are also some motherboard system BIOS in the APM (Advanced Power Management) and Win XP is not fully compatible (in the AMI BIOS for many), and therefore can not automatically shutdown. Select shutdown is turned into a reboot system, in which case only manual shutdown (press the power switch for 4 seconds after the release, if less than 4 seconds is invalid). The fundamental solution to the problem is to upgrade the motherboard's system BIOS and adopt a new version.
