I have an HP EliteBook 840 G8. When I shut it down, windows turns off but the laptop itself stays on (proven by the fact the buttons still have their lights on). It overheats and consumes battery while in this half awake state, but the fans don't work till it reaches a critical point. I tried shutting down through cmd, I tried holding shift before clicking on shutdown, same issue. I turned off fast boot from windows and bios. I updated windows, did a fresh install. I replaced ram sticks, and it still has this issue. I did the UEFI diagnostics, everything was green without issues. Only thing I couldn't try is update the bios, I still can't figure out how to do it. I tried updating it within the bios menu, but it gave me some error about network. As seen in the vid, when it's in this state, I can't even turn it back on to windows unless I fully turn it off first. Any advice is appreciated, including how to fix the network error in bios. Current bios release date: 06/26/2023. Version: T37 Ver.01.14.00. laptop won't turn off.mp4

So the past couple of months or so I've had a problem with restarting and shutting down my laptop, I've tried many possible solutions but none seemed to help me, fast startup does help with the shutdown but restarts take just as long(it even says that in power options), i did not have it one before and it was fine, i think the issue started when I installed a program for university, it was one of the 4, maybe someone has a clue as to which might affect this (matlab, labview, quartus or coppeliasim), I am pretty stumped, might be a program is stopping me? any way to see that? as I've said boot time is unaffected hibernate on or off makes no diff, and no I've done no windows updates and have checked (to my knowledge) every powerplan option using quickcpu (for ease of use, and yes i was using it before it's not the cause), open to any suggestion pretty much...

When i shutdown my pc and the display from my monitor is already off after shutting down, the system unit takes a while i think around 10 secs delay to shut down. I was just wondering if there's something wrong with it? Thanks

So I figured I would start a thread on this issue as I cannot find any other posts on this form which match it exactly. (to my knowledge of course) This is not a mission critical problem but I always like to hear and learn from the people in this community. (Also hopefully will help someone else in the future) Background: Dell xps 15 9550. (i7-6700HQ, 960m, 16gb ram, 225gb ssd) Battery replaced 1 year ago with no problems until recently. This is what went in: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZFL845N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Daily driver for 3 years and has seen light use for the most recent 2 years. I often leave it shut off and plugged in, ready to go when I need it. (1-2 times a week tops) Problems: On occasion after unplugging and turning on with full battery it will flash login screen then completely shuts down. When this happens I am unable to power back on or even check battery capacity via indicator lights on the side. It is completely dead and unresponsive, with the only solution being to plug it in and turn it back on. After this everything is normal, battery shows 100% etc. and I am able to unplug and go about my business issue free. Analysis: My first instinct would be to say the battery is somehow faulty, however it is curious that this is only now an issue. I wouldn't think it is degraded too much with such light use. Leaving devices plugged in is not the most healthy practice in the world however It was plugged in 24/7 with the factory battery and lasted much longer if this is the issue. If the battery is faulty (and so soon) this might be due to the fact I bought the replacement from an obscure amazon page. My question would then be how is one to know (other than reviews) if a non OEM replacement part like a battery is quality. Are there specific brands to look for or is it just generally better practice to eat the higher OEM price? Second instinct is that this is a funky windows issue, maybe from a recent update? That would explain why I am only now experiencing these issues. I typically run power settings on 'better battery' when unplugged and 'max performance' when plugged in. Currently I am not 100% sure how to proceed with troubleshooting this issue, or if there is even any troubleshooting to be done. Any and all thoughts and opinions are welcome!

So I got this weird issue with a old motherboard of mine that already was malfunctioning in the past (The sensors of temps and voltages aren't reporting their values properly). Everytime I boot up and get into Windows or Fedora, the system just shuts itself down after 30 minutes. There's a few things I have done to troubleshoot: Replace the PSU with another one Put the RAM stick in different slots (two slots don't work anymore) Clear the CMOS battery Refit the CPU Reflash the BIOS (upgraded and downgraded) I tried to even use my computer without a dedicated GPU, but for some weird reason my motherboard won't let me use my iGPU (option isn't even available in the BIOS, just says AUTO and PCIE). This is like one of the few rare cases that I am unable to solve. However I feel like it's time that I just put the old hardware to rest. Already ordered a new one just in case, but if there's a way I can save it, I'd love to hear it. Motherboard in question is a ASUS B85M-G. CPU is a Intel Core i5 4570 and the GPU is a Nvidia GeForce GT640

This only started happening to me today. Whenever I run games that require high performance (Fortnite, Dead by Daylight, Final Fantasy XV) under 3-5 minutes my computer will shut down immediately. I've tried updating my drivers and dusting the inside of my build, but it didn't make much of a difference. Would I have to do a factory reset on my drivers or are my components dying? I should also mention that my CPU temperatures usually go up to 70-80 degrees while playing these games while my GPU goes up to 50-70 degrees.

5 days ago my pc started to run weird. kinda laggy. tryed shutting it down through the menu (normal way) and didnt do nothing. i had to forced shut down with the power button when i started it back up, it was super long to start. (i have fast boot on and never had problems with booting before) then it says my overclocking faled and i had to go to my bios. (overclock through the easy overclocking thing iin my ASUS bios) i tryed without the overclock and its still super long to boot and hard to shutdown. i dont think its a hardware problem, i havent changes any parts. I updated my bios and its not better, even slower. Tryed troubleshooting in setting/power, didnt work. tryed windows/r shutdown /s /f /t 0 Didnt work Plus now in bios, its sees my RAM as like 1887mhz, atleast before as default it was 2197mhz alot of stuff is laggy and i cant find out why can anyone help me?

When I hit the power button, the PC powers on for a second before shutting down again. Before this there were several random moments where it shutdown for no discernable reason, and the period between the shutdowns seemed to get smaller and smaller until it doesn't stay on for more than a second. I tried looking at Windows Event Viewer, but I didn't know what to look for and any critical errors I did find didn't seem related to the power situation. 1) cleaned out the PC of the dust 2) I replaced the PSU AND the power cable. 3) Had it assembled and reassembled by PC repair shop, twice. They said the components were working fine and suggested it was a power cable problem. This fixed the problem for couple of days until the shutdown problem happened again. 4) Now I found out the new wrinkle in the problem, that given a whole day the problem fixes itself, but I'm not sure if it's a permanent fix. Has anyone else faced the same problem? edit: the problem came back, but I unplugged it and plugged it into another socket in the power strip. And the problem is solved for the moment. A friend suggested the issue might be the fuse for my room might be faulty, but if that was the case it would affect the monitor, the lights and the ceiling fan too. I really need an answer because my job requires that I run a program for 6+ hours, and need reliable power for my computer.

Hello and good day. for the past month or so I've had an issue with my PC where it completely shuts down(turns the power off) and after a second turns itself back on again. It started about the time i started playing Elden Ring and it was in the game where this happened first. I didn't think much of it back then and just though the game had overheated something and the overheat protection had kicked in. But it kept happening in most demanding games. and I couldn't reproduce it to pinpoint what the problem was either. Lately it has been happening in almost every game. and sometimes at idle which made me post here to get some help. It seems to happen if I run some stress tests on the GPU (fumark) so I can reproduce it now. but it doesn't always happen either. My Build: Intel Core-i5 8600k CPU Asus rog strix Z370-F MB DeepCool GAMMAX GT Tower Cooler 2x G.Skill Ripjaws V 8gb 2400 RAM MSI 1060 Gaming X GPU Green 650W 80Gold PSU (an Iranian PSU and Case manufacturer. components used are on the same grade as companies like Cooler Master) 1x 250gb SATA SSD / 2x 1TB HDD / 1x 4TB HDD Things I have done so far: checking the PSU voltage using a PSU tester and a multimeter checking CPU thermal paste disabling all overclock in BIOS swapping ram slots / using one ram and then switching it running memtestx86 (all tests pass with no errors) running the system with the monitor connected to the iGPU running Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (all tests pass with no error) running stress test on gpu with MSI afterburner monitor and monitoring to see if i have temp or wattage spike (ive attached the log file, the ending of the log file is when the system shutdown) reducing gpu power to 80% in afterburner and after posting this im going to try to format my ssd and reinstall windows. my own guess is that my PSU is faulty and cant supply the wattage needed. but i wanted to get an expert opinion first before spending any money on new parts.

Hi, so i recently upgraded my cpu from 2700x to 5900x on asus crosshair vii hero, before installing new cpu i installed lastest bios 4901 and ran my 2700x for few days after buying the 5900x and installing it i couldn't boot the pc with docp/xmp on for my 3200mhz gkill ram the system will go through the bios screen and just shutdown and i need to restart my psu to start the pc, even though my pc started without xmp/docp it would run fine on all stess test like prime86 cinebench (15mins) but as i open any game it would shutdown, so i thought i bought a faulty cpu so i returned that one and bought a new a new one directly from retail shop but was facing same issue, then i tried to downgrade my bios thinking there might be something wrong with the voltage regulation with the bios and tried 7 older bios and went to 4007 and got a stable system and could also run xmp/docp. ran all stress test and played new world and few other games games it ran fine. but recently (20 days later) i started playing call of duty warzone 2 and that started to cause the issue again (*i have noticed mostly when i use google chrome(watch twitch) ). so i started going to other forum for help and someone told me to disable c-state so i did and that lowered the amount of shutdown i had but not solve it, recently i was playing dota while using 2 tabs of twitch and i had the crash again which was very suprising to me cause i never had shutdowns while playing dota on the new 5900x system. i also want to add that i never had this issue when i had my 2700x, i used the 2700x again for 3 days after using the 5900x (which i returned) and i had to issues so i think psu is not the issue here, i could be but im not a genius in this matter but this is my findings. i also did my memory test for all 4 rams with memtest86 and got no error. specs- 5900x asus crosshair vii hero (4007) gskill trident z 3200mhz (4x8gb) msi gaming z 2060 cooler master 750 gold fully modular psu 1 hdd and 1 nvme 500 gb samsung 960 something i serious need some advice, ask me anything if i didnt mention.

Hi everyone, My computer often shows a notification with : "Battery Low". This notification appears and then disappears almost instantaneously. The problem is : my laptop's always plugged in.... *sad noises* Something else is strange : my computer crashes randomly to a black screen, complete shut down and no restart (unless I start it by myself, pushing the power button).... Thermals are high but not too much, just reaching 90°C (max temp = 100°C) at peek use (Minecraft + Minecraft server [4 players] + Discord + Spotify in background). Can someone help me find what is going on here ? My laptop is a bit old (6 years this November), I don't consider buying a new one for now (I'm gonna go in engineering studies so I'll wait until a school tells me what computer specs to choose). Tell me if you already had this problem and if you could help me. FYI : I already changed the thermal paste (November 2019), I changed from 8GB to 12GB of DDR3 RAM (4GB soldered + 4GB on stick, to 4GB soldered + 8GB on stick so now it is single-channel), I cleaned my computer and removed every bit of dust in it, all my drivers are the latest available, my BIOS is updated to its latest available version too, I already changed my battery once 2 years ago (the original is dead). I really need help. Please consider helping me or just giving me an advice and/or some feedback from your experience.

Hi there, In August I got my girlfriend a Xiaomi laptop for her work. Got it off of Kijiji and was working like a charm until the beginning of August. This was around the time we purchased a longer USB-C charging cable. After this point the laptop has began to have increasingly more difficulty staying powered on or even powering on to begin with. If the laptop is used while not plugged in it may shut off randomly and without notice, despite having battery life. It's beginning to get to the point where there is a need to keep it plugged in at all times, for fear of it turning off in a meeting or not saving documents. To be honest I dont even know where to begin to diagnose the issue. If it is battery, how do I go about checking that? Might it be a software thing? I know I can't call Xiaomi, especially since she threw away the box. Any advice at all is great appreciated!

So, in the last couple of days I have this very strange issue with my PC where it just randomly turns off, sometimes during a game session (not a long one, usually just after an hour of rocket league) or even just a few minutes after I turned it on and simply browse the web. It's not like a hard shutdown just like whenever you have this power outage (which is basically the problem that showed up in EVERY kind of forum whenever I searched "pc sudden shutdown"), but it has those good old windows shutdown sequence that we know and love (you know, the one with "this app is preventing shutdown", and so on). At first I thought it was like malware problems that could be solved with a clean install of windows 10, so I did just that. But after a few minutes, the same problem occurred. It's really frustrating cause I can't find any solution or even similar question listed on the internet so I guess it's better for me to create one.

Hi guys, I wanna share and probably ask any solution to my problem regarding my windows 10. Problem started when my PC start to show BSOD,first it show something about "memory management error" then another BSOD,I don't remember what it said. But the main problem is,when I tried to do something do C drive,then when I reboot or shutdown,the thing that I did was like not being saved by windows. For example,when I download a software,it was stored in downloads folder on C drive. The next thing when i reboot or shutdown,it disappeared. But oddly enough, when I sign out of my account, the settings are normally saved (not reboot/shuting down PC). I kinda edgy about this thing then I quickly want to reinstall windows by USB. But when I tried to,it can't be installed on my C drive and I cannot delete it's partition either. One info said that the disk may fail soon. Is the problem laying on my SSD? Or is it somewhere else? Anyone have something similar? Anyone can help? Thanks before. FYI: I ran a S.M.A.R.T monitor on my SSD and it showing in good health,test it also and it's fine.

My PC was having a overheating problem and I accidentally broke the CPU cooler while cleaning it. So I took it to the repair shop and had a new CPU cooler installed. This fixed the issue but a new issue seemed to have developed. When I shutdown the PC using Windows 10 the PC shutsdown but doesn't turn on again. The lights come on, the fans spin but no display(not even bios). However if I turn off buy holding the power button then the PC turns on fine. My Specs: CPU: Core i7 2600K MB: Asus H61M-K GPU: 1060 GTX PSU: 650W FYI: I tried to upgrade my RAM but the RAM wasn't compatible with my MB.

Hi, LTT forums! I'm having some issues with a newly built computer, where the XHCI USB controller isn't working properly, showing error code 10 (Device cannot start). It prevents me form using ports other than the two USB 3.1 ports controlled by a different ASmedia controller. Another strange symptom, however unrelated it may be is the computer stopping during shutdown, leaving fans spinning and LEDS lit, forcing me to hold the power button down to get it powered down. hitting the reset switch freezes the screen with the same effect on fans. So far I've tried the good old power on and off, reinstalling drivers for USB, chipset drivers, and a BIOS update. I've enabled and disabled XHCI hand-off in the BIOS and double-checked all USB ports are enabled in BIOS. I've also reseated all cables on the motherboard, incl. 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power and of course the USB 3.0 cable. the BIOS does still say it knows there are 2 XHCI controllers in the system. Does anyone have other methods to try? Thanks -Xolesk
