Computer Booted Up On Its Own
Aug 2, 2015My desktop PC has randomly booted up on it's own. Also, I noticed yesterday that it kept waking up from sleep on it's own.
Is there anything we can do about this.

Computer Won't Go Into Sleep Mode Until Freshly Booted
Sep 22, 2015My computer won't go into sleep mode if it's been on for a while. It will go into sleep mode if it's freshly booted. Whenever I check, powercfg -requests is clear. Currently, powercfg -requestsoverride shows process: chrome.exe display system awaymode, driver: filesystemsrvnet system. When it won't go into sleep mode, it won't even automatically turn off the monitor. My settings are set to allow sleep.
Ideally I would like a fix for this, but I would also be okay with some kind of program that puts my computer into sleep mode after 30 minutes. I used to have such a program a long time ago, but I have forgotten the name of it, and googling 'sleep timer' just shows sleep mode tutorials. Googling 'powercfg requests is clear but computer won't go into sleep mode' hasn't been particularly useful, either.
Reset PC And It Booted To Auto-Repair?
Dec 5, 2015I reset my PC and it booted to Auto-Repair. It said i needed recovery media, but i was able to boot back to Windows through looking at the BIOS firmware then telling it to boot to the primary HDD. I got back to Windows but now i am paranoid next time i boot i won't be so lucky. I have created a recovery disk, but my data may get lost. I have 1.5TB of valuable files on my PC.

Installation :: Black Screen Of Doom But Booted To Login Screen (no Cursor Just Blank)
Jan 18, 2016I did a bit of research and this seems to have been an issue for a while, or has been in the past. Was upgrading to windows 10, I first had to restart my pc cause it was initially stuck on that preparing to install problem with the green bar being stuck around 25%.
It then got through that and began the installation process with the big circle and rebooting process. However around 91% when I last looked at it it was just black screen, this stayed this way for about 3-4 hours. I then decided to reboot the pc and it has now booted to the login screen. Is this a known bug or could there be a possible issue?
The problem seems a bit different as some people I saw have had to fall back on PC restore points etc. So not sure if it installed or what could be the problem.
Also side note, I upgraded my pc when windows 10 first publically released, but rolled back because I had about 5min shutdown times.

View 8 RepliesComputer Does Not Shut Down
Aug 3, 2015I recently installed windows 10 in my computer, but i got a problem : my computer does not fully shutdown when i click the shut down button in the start menu, it just closes apps, screen turns black, but the pc is still on and i can say this because keyboards lights are still on (power one, wifi one) and i am forced to press the power button for 5 seconds to force a shutdown and then turn it on again. I searched on internet some solutions and the most common problem seems related to the fast startup feature.

Jul 31, 2015so 2 days ago was the scheduled day for the windows 10 free upgrade. I was on vacation and didn't get to my laptop that day. So I come back the next day and my windows 8.1 computer keeps freezing and freezing and FREEZING . I then decide to reset it to factory settings and I don't see the free upgrade button next to my date in time so I think maybe I have to update to windows 8.1 sense when I reset it it reset to windows 8.0 . so I spend a whole day updating to windows 8.1 .

Nov 29, 2015Recently upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seemed to go well. It was working fine I restarted a couple times and it all went well . I shut the computer down for about 20 minutes and when I tried to restart it I get nothing on the monitor. I can hear the hard drive start but monitor doesn't come on unless I hit the power button on the monitor and even when I do it just comes on for a few seconds and it is blank and it says monitor is going to sleep and shuts off again and if I hit the power button again it will just repeat the cycle.

Aug 10, 2015I downloaded and installed the new Windows 10. The installation seemed to be perfectly accomplished. However, when I tried to open my desktop I discovered that the system had set up a new password to enter !!!!
Result: i do not have access to my computer !
*I did not have any password before, so I guess Windows 10 could have fixed a default password.

Aug 18, 2015How I should migrate my OS to an SSD. I recently upgraded to windows 10 from 7, and now want to add an SSD to my computer. So, I was wondering if that would create any licensing issues, since the key for windows 10 is tied to the computer's "fingerprint". I am planning to buy the sandisk 120gb SSD, and will use their migration software.
View 1 RepliesNo Audio From Computer
Dec 7, 2015I held off to upgrade to Windows 10 until I thought it was safe. My motherboard manufacture said it was Window 10 ready, so I upgraded over the weekend. Now I have no audio. This is bad, because this is our media center for our house hold. As a quick fix I purchased a replacement sound card that has Windows 10 x64 drivers on their website. I installed it today, installed the newest drivers, and still no audio. I hooked multiple speakers to it and no sound. I hooked the speakers to my TV and play a regular show, and there is no problem there. Just no audio from my computer. The additional sound card I just put on to try to get Audio working is an Asus Xonar DGX PCIE 5.1 Audio card.

View 1 RepliesComputer Keeps Waking Up On Its Own
Sep 23, 2015I've tried:
-Disable power from waking with my LAN, Keyboard & Mouse
-Look at powercfg -lastwake but it shows wake source count - 0
Event log shows power-troubleshooter wake source: Unknown
Event log shows this 1 second after I press sleep: "The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S5). This can result in reduced resume performance."
I thought it was because my time is syncing with network time, but I disabled the sync time automatically
I also checked my power plan to make sure nothing wakes the computer up, and I don't have automatic updates on. It's really annoying when you go to sleep and after about 15minutes the computer boots back up from sleep.

Computer CPU Throttling Itself To Exactly 20%
Dec 20, 2015My CPU throttling itself. Why or whether it is a setting I'm missing. It started happening after my upgrade to Windows 10 and I'm not sure what could be causing it. A restart fixes the problem completely until it occurs again (half hour to several hours later). I have the min/max CPU usage set to 100% in the power options.
Here is a screenshot of the task manager whilst it was occuring, as you can see its max is exactly 20%
