He means that we're going to end up finding out that you're running on Micro$oft's worst OS release ever, Windoze "Hasta-La-"Vista....

 


(...But even that would still result in BSODs or faults in the logs....)


FYI: Once we know the OS the next step will be to go take a look at the logs to see what IT thinks is happening....

 its not vista
i hate vista

jax i did run the program via burning the iso to a cd. not sure where to find the logs for it.

The Dos version needs to be burnest, windows version is an executable.

It doesn't save the logs, it would show the results in the lower pane during and after the test.

[Zeek]

i used the dos version. i didnt get to see what it came up with cause my brother seen it as something up with the comp so he took the cd out and restarted the comp. seen part of it and heard a high pitch noise not sure exactly what it was caused by. mainly my computer sleeps and usually my bro taps a key on the keyboard to wake it up

I guess you need to run it again...

[Zeek]

Kewl, it's Windows 7, which has loads of built-in diagnostic tools!


First, let's try "the basic" diagnostic, the System Diagnostic and Performance Tool.

0) Start -> Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools

1) Select "Advanced Tools" and look for any warnings under "Performance Issues" there. If you have warnings, post that info/window and stop here.  If there are no issues, move on to step 2.

2) You should be here if there are no performance issues listed from step 1. Now select "Generate a system health report" at the bottom of that window and let it run to completion.

3) Examine the Diagnostic Results and any Warnings, Errors, and any other notices given there.  Post any images/questions you may have about anything it says in that "Resource and Performance Monitor" window that makes you wonder.  (You may even see your problem spelled out right in front of you!)

Some of these can be "false positives" and can be ignored. (E.g. Mine totally barfs up a rug when it notices that I've disabled all of the MS Security idiocy.  E.g. The Security Center reports that User Access Control (UAC, that thing that pops up every barfin' time you try to do anything to your PERSONAL Computer with Windoze!) is disabled. For good.  ForEVER on my machine!)  Ditto that the Security Center reports that I have Windows Update disabled. (Since I prefer to get them under my own control, thank-you-very-much!) Etc., etc.

http://prntscr.com/13bdn0 thats the only performance issue it says.

[MrMxyzptlk]

My original wording was somewhat misleading/confusing.

Since the given "Performance Issue" you got is trivial, ignore it for now, and treat it as though there were no performance issues listed.

Hence you need to do as you did, but then continue with steps 2 & 3:

2) If there are no performance issues listed, then select "Generate a system health report" at the bottom of that window and let it run to completion.

3) Examine the Diagnostic Results and any Warnings, Errors, and any other notices given there.  Post any images/questions you may have about anything it says in that "Resource and Performance Monitor" window that makes you wonder.  (You may even see your problem spelled out right in front of you!)

as well.

Sorry about that!

Yet Another Reason (YAR) I dropped the all-too-invasive AVG a long, long time ago....

Apparently now it installs a device driver as part of its services! 

Follow the instructions here to remove AVG from your computer.  I also suggest that you uninstall any other antivirus software you have installed, then REinstall it (using its latest version, of course), rebooting your system between EACH UNINSTALL action. DO NOT REINSTALL AVG, however.

Make no further changes in your system for a while to see if that did the trick.

(It is ENTIRELY possible that the software driver of AVG's was the cause of the shutdowns, so go for a few weeks at least without making any other (system) changes to see if that did the trick....)


Good luck!

ok will give it a few days to see if that worked. I switched from AVG to Avast because AVG would actually block all game updates so it became annoying. it had a good run until the last few years

[Zeek]

well apparently it didnt work cause just a moment ago it happened again. :/ im at a loss as of why this is happening

http://prntscr.com/13l0qb not sure if this log was recorded during my comp startup or b4 my comp shut down

shut down twice within a half an hour of the last :/
