Enter your CMOS and set the computer to "restart on power restore".

the computer turns off, because you might be eitehr using MS windows 2000 or MS Windows XP service pack 1 which had lot of errors. USe MS_windows XP Service PAck 2 for the computer to run better. Hope it solves your problem, enjoy.

your pc may be having a problem with 'standby' or 'hybernation' mode.  Just power-off the PC.  If this problem reoccurs, then you can dis-able standby and/or hybernation mode.\n\nthe control is located in start---control panel--power settings.

Your computer shutting itself off can be a symptop of 4 things.\n1. Windows power saving settings. This is unlikely to be the problem if you are using the machine.\n2. You're on a laptop that has run out of battery life. Trying using only your power adapter.\n3. You may have a defective motherboard, processor, memory RAM, video card, or powersupply. My suggestion is to always start with the cheapest to the most expensive. I'd try replacing your Power Supply with one of quality with sufficient wattage(not the cheapest power supply you can find). I have found that AMDs are more sensative to power flucutations as when CD-ROM drives and Harddrives spin.\n4. The mostly like possiblity is overheating. As mentioned on here, most new motherboards have a temperature threashold that will automatically shutdown your PC if it gets too hot. I suggest making sure you have sufficient air circulation (cool air coming in from the front, passing over your motherboard, and out through the rear exaust). You should have a quality heatsink attached with thermal paste (helps avoid heat pockets being trapped between the processor and heat sink). On the heatsink you should have a fan that is clean of dust and rotating at its proper top spead. \n\nAnything else is just random and rare cases.

IF you are not getting the message " It is safe to turn off " There may be different reasons \nyou can use the scan disk to scan the harddisk for errors or bad sectors. \nThere may be some process which is running in the background which does not allow the system to shut down. you will have to find out .

It could mean that your computer is in Stand By mode and the best way to removed it out of stand bye is to hit a button on the keyboard or move the mouse. If it dosent work, and if you already tried to restart it, unplug it (everything, including the power supply on the back of the computer) , and hold the power button for 10 seconds and then plug it back back

this is very similar to my case, i owned a HP desktop running a HP XP home version(original) and i later custom built the desktop. I was trying to have the computer boot up but it wouldn't allow it to.\n\nmy solution was to get a new hard drive and use my Dell XP home operating system on my HP, and without any problems it work great\n\nConcusion: get a new hard drive( or wipe out the old operating system) and reboot your HP with the Dell operating disk\n\nremember to backup all your files\n\nright as you turn on your computer (after the files are backed up and you either have a new harddrive or wiped the old OS) put the genuine disk into the computer

No duh. That shouldn't be a surprise.\nIn hibernate mode, the computer is practically off.\nIn standby mode, its on, but only by a small thread.\nGive your computer a minute or so to restore the connection.

try CPU (processor) cooler there is an sensor under the cpu socket on the mainboard so when the cpu gets hot it turn`s off the pc and wont turn it back on until it gets cooled down,since you power it manualy

It could be that your fan has burned out.  If you notice the fan does not come on at all anymore, it's probably time to get a new one.  \n\nSide note... if your computer is in a room that tends to get warm, you're going to want to change that fan soon and/or use another fan (small household oscillating type) to cool your CPU unit.  If your system gets too warm, the whole thing will shut down till it has a chance to cool down again.

You need to check that particular computer and make sure it is set to "shut down" and not set to "reboot".  That  will probably solve your problem.

1st of all this is what it is:  A "Background" HP task installed by the drivers for the HP OfficeJets K60 & G85.\n\nThis is what you do. Uninstall the printer by going through the add/remove options. Then reinstall it,but before you activate your printer go to the HP web site and download all of the updates. Problem solved... Have a nice Day :)

Go into your power options (control panel) and make sure that hibernate and standby are both off.

If your computer shuts off while you are using it then the problem seems to be your power supply. I had to change it and replaced it with a more powerfull one to correct this problem on my computer and everything worked fine ever since.

Your computer could have been heated too much.Try working on it after shutting down your pc for an hour or two.
