Shutdown Problems
Apologies to all if I am going back over old ground, but have only just
found this group! I have just upgraded to 7 Ultimate from Vista Ultimate and now have the problem that when shutting down my system gets right through everything correctly, but once it gets to the monitor being 'closed' it leaves the fans and disks running. I have to then manually power off. Did not have this problem once with Vista and at present have less software loaded than previous and that does not include Spybot. All suggestion welcome, as I'm getting a bit frustrated |

Shutdown Problems
Does the motherboard, BIOS and chipset drivers support Windows 7. Check
for updates at the motherboard manufacturers website. Update install as needed.

Here are a couple of links to sites that describe how to do it in both Vista and it's latest clone, Windows 7. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...-to-shut-down/ http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/63...-problems.html I suspect something is set to the sleep or hibernate mode rather than shutdown but it could also be a setting in the bios as well. The second link shows info on that as well as more than I wanted to read about the subject. |
