To force an immediate reboot: shutdown -t 0 -r -f. For a more friendly 'give them some time' option, you can use this: shutdown -t 30 -r. The -f is implied by the timeout. I have an A200-1YO, 1.66ghz, upgraded to Windows 7 RC and 4Gb 667mhz PC 5300 RAM. My problem started about a month ago when i was still running Vista.

Hi, First of all, to answer your questions. My newly built computer reboots on shutdown.

There aren’t any concrete details about the products or when they might launch, but the company’s focus in the area has increased over the past several months. Apple is believed to be working on advanced virtual reality/augmented reality systems that could be incorporated into future iOS devices and/or hardware products.

What could be problem? Answer: Generally speaking, when Windows system shuts down, messages are sent to the running device drivers, system services, and programs, to notify them that Windows is preparing to shut down. The operating system waits for responses from the device drivers/services/programs to make sure that the programs save unsaved data to the hard disk and shut down properly. Each device, service, and program that is running usually responds to the shutdown message with a message that states it can be closed.

In this issue, it should be a kernel mode crash during system shut down. To identify the culprit (which is very likely a device driver/service/program running in the background), you may try the following steps below: 1) As you mentioned another issue with Hauppauge 1800. Does the issue occur before trying to install Hauppauge 1800 driver? Marble blast platinum quest. If everything worked at that time, the shutdown crash issue should be related to the Hauppauge 1800 driver.

2) Also, I noticed that this is a newly installed application. When did this shutdown crash problem start to occur?

Did everything work well after the installation? If the problem started to occur immediately after the OS installation, please check whether your hardware configurations are compatible with Windows Vista. 3) Upgrade the device drivers and related applications to the latest version. Especially, if you have some CD burning software, please upgrade it or temporarily uninstall it as a test. 4) Check whether the system can be correctly shut down in Safe Mode. Restart the computer, and press F8.

Select boot in Safe Mode. Shutdown the computer, and see if it reboots again. 5) Let's perform a Clean Boot. A Clean Boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs that are loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device drivers or programs that are installed in your computer. Run MSCONFIG.EXE. In the Services tab, click 'Hide All Microsoft Services' and click 'Disable All'. In the Startup tab, click 'Disable All'.

(This will temporarily prevent third-party programs from running automatically during start-up.) d. Restart the computer and shut down again. Does the problem still persist this time?

If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit. If the crash issue still occurs, I'd like to recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for assistance so that this problem can be resolved efficiently.

Hi Brian, Please go to Start -> Search and type ' cmd.exe'. Then right click on the command prompt utility and chose ' Run as administrator'.

Once the command prompt appears, enter the command ' sfc /scannow' without quotes. This will scan your system for any integrity discrepancies, if one is found it will require your installation media in order to repair it. Once that command finishes (may take a while) enter the command ' chkdsk /f'. It will ask you if you want to schedule it for the next startup, enter ' Y'. Once your computer boots up, it will begin checking your hard drive for errors. Does this answer your question?
