I thought I had the same problem, but what was happening was that if you have
auto-update on, it will shut down instead of hibernate because of the
updates. Change the auto update setting to notify or turn it off and the
hibernate (actually called sleep now) should work without you getting
suprised like that. It happens so often because there are so many updates
always coming out.

Hi,

I have a similar problem: My computer often doesn't shut down properly, when
I want to switch it off, the system shuts down but the computer itself keeps
running. Here is the error message I have been getting:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1031

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 00000003
BCP2: 84C3B5B8
BCP3: 868D2030
BCP4: 87F6F428
OS Version: 6_0_6000
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 256_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini050707- 01.dmp
C:\Users\Torsten\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-2731296-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Users\Torsten\AppData\Local\Temp\WEREB39.tmp.version.txt


Any ideas?
Thanks,
Torsten

I've found that this is usual behavior if you don't immediately use the
computer after waking it. I found that as long as I do a task right away it
will not resume hibernating. Check your mail before getting the cup of coffee.

Hi Antonio,

I don't think that the updates are the issue in my situation because my
machine doesn't switch off when I select the "switch off" command. But I will
try now is put my computer into sleep mode instead of shutting it down
completely. Maybe this is the better option after all.
What do you think?
Regards and many thanks,
Torsten

I've been trying to find discussion about my particular problem with an
unexpected shutdown. I lock my pc down in the evening and when I come back
to it the following afternoon I have to restart the computer instead of just
being able to just start where I left off, I then get a message that says
"windows has recovered from an unexpected shut down. do you want windows to
check for a solution. I click on that button and nothing happens. Any ideas?

When you say "Lock my PC" are you using Control-Alt-Delete to lock it ?
Is it a desktop or notebook ? Which Power Saving mode is it set to use?
Normally, the PC should enter one of several kinds of "Sleep States" after
the inactivity time runs down. Does it go to Sleep or Hibernate ?

To determine what triggered the unexpected shut down you may need
to check the System Event log for errors.

Really just too many variables to give you a focused answer.

I am having similar problems with unexpected shut down on my desktop. Have
you found out what was causing your problem. I would like to know.
