laptop is not switched off when closing down

When replacing the hard disk, does he reinstalled a full version of Windows, or he simply copied your old installation to another disk? If so, most likely it is damaged or aged out. I think the best remedy to try is a full system reinstall, even at the cost of having to reinstall everything, but you end up with a fresh system to work with. My guesses about the causes are a driver conflict, some bad parameter in the BIOS, perhaps a problem in the "new" HD or improper system configuration or some damaged system file (quite frequent in Windows). One question, if you put it to hibernate instead of power off, does it crashes or hibernates successfully?

yes my system also does the same way but now now only some times ,it happened one night when i just turnedoff the system using the start and turnoff,i switched off the monitor thinking that it will shut down as i turn off it.But to my surprise in the morning the system was still in the on with the windows shutting down message.From that time onwards i tried to see whether it is fully off or not ,if not then i switchof my ups(uniform power supply ) so that the cpu is off. Have nice time.how is Madras.

Honestly, the only time that I've ever had something like that happen with my laptop has been when there are updates that need to be done on it and then it will take quite some time before the shutdown process is completed. It could be that there are some updates that are being downloaded onto your laptop. The only other thing that I can think of that might be causing it is there is some kind of a virus that is running a program in the background that isn't shutting down. I would recommend trying Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer. It is free and it works really well.

I haven't had such experience, but I think your engineer has not fixed quite well your laptop. There are differences between the work done by engineers and sometimes they doesn't repair the devices so well as we expect.

Use it without the battery.That is the most simple way to fix your problem.

Hello ravisivan. I faced a big problem with my lap top about six months back. There used to be a dialog box opening up persistently every few seconds with no reason whatsoever. The dialog box is the 'Sticky keys' prompt that one sees if the shift key is pressed constantly for [I think] five times. Generally it would happen unintentionally & without being conscious of it that such dialog box pops up. And every time, not having triggered anything or not requiring any help, we would simply hit the 'Esc' key to clear the dialog box. It was so persistent and frequent, it was not only annoying but did not allow me to work at all. First a colleague of mine attempted to fix it with all the ideas & knowledge he possessed. Having exhausted his efforts, he suggested [or rather I forced him to come up with that suggestion] to let the experts do it. I had to spare my lap top to be taken to the service vendor [IT firm] and was without one for several days. The vendor diagnosed something and wanted to clean the whole disc [formatting I suppose]. I was too concerned about huge data. I insisted it should be safe. They saved the data on another PC and after fixing the issue, I had to recheck the old data for restoration, which fortunately was handled well and it has been working well after that. Those several days were terribly annoying and I had to face big hardship.

Am not too computer savvy so could not figure out why you have this problem. My laptop is not even a month old so it is running fine just now for the net. Only having problems with opening excel files and trying to find out the solution for this.

hello ravi, I have same problem before and had my laptop checked and so bad it was my laptop "Memory" having problem. I lost some important data, was not able to retrieve from C-files (saved files) this happens due to virus. I hope your laptop is doing fine now. have a good day

One of the following cases could be the cause : 1. This problem is generally due to fast shut down registry is active. Solution : Try to open the registry and disable fast shut down 2. Setting in the bios. I've found that the cause is specific setting in the BIOS. Solution : When i return to position of the default bios. Laptop can be turn off 3. This behavior is also often happen when you install some antivirus in one computer Solution : You should be selective to instal antivirus, uninstall it if you have double 4. Device drivers are not compatible, damage or conflict between them. Solution, check the device driver 5. There was an error video adapter on IRQ on real mode. Solution :v replace the VGA card
