I’m asking this question on behalf of a buddy of mine. He has ASUS flat desktop PC. He turned it on today, after the start up he got this message “Preparing to configure windows” and straight after that, this message “shutting down” The PC then shuts down after 2 mins. This goes on every time he starts the PC. The fan is working ok, The PC is Asus all-in-one a8 elite, model et 2221a. His OS is win 8. Neither of us are fully computer literate but we can follow instructions, click on xxx, open xxx and so on. Hope someone has an answer, and the patience to stick with us. If any more information is required it might take a while to reply back, as I wil…

Random power button behavior when starting laptop
by Guest Pidgx- 0 replies
- 175 views
If I shut down my laptop, I have a very hard time starting it after that. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware/driver problem, as the power button works perfectly in other situations. The only way I found to start my computer, is to press the power button tens of times for various durations and it starts after I tried enough times. Sometimes, it starts with the fan at full power and stays like this, so I have to force crash it, sometimes it remains stuck on some black screen with the brand of the computer and a turning time icon, sometimes it starts normally. I have the problem both after my computer has been on sleep for more than about 10 minutes and af…

Can't get computer out of Sleep after a certain time
by Guest Pidgx- 0 replies
- 155 views
Please read the symptoms carefully. I've set my power plan as per the image below. When I press the power button, my laptop goes to Sleep, no problem. I can get it out of Sleep for about 10-20 minutes by pressing the space bar or the power button, no problem, which means there's apparently NO hardware or driver problem with the power button or keyboard. If I wait more than that, I can't get the computer out of Sleep in any way and have to crash it by long pressing the power button (again, this button works, even at this moment, as it allows me to crash the computer). Also, after having forced stopped the computer, I have to press the power but…

on 2013 win8 laptop with 500gb internal hard drive: i have made a restore point today 2/10/19. Have win recovery usb disk (and recovery options in bios with f11).

I have an old Windows 8 disc. If I install it on my new hard drive will I get Windows 10?
by Guest Sir Glame- 0 replies
- 159 views
Hi, I've had the same hard disk for several years and I'm ready to upgrade it. The OS that was originally on it was Windows 8, which I installed off a DVD I bought when I first got the drive. When Windows 10 was released I received a free automatic upgrade (which was only being offered for a limited time). I have two questions: 1. If I try and install my Windows 8 DVD onto my new hard drive, will it still give me Windows 10, or will it only install Windows 8? 2. How do I do a fresh install of my Windows DVD onto my new hard drive? Do I have to uninstall Windows off my old drive first?? Many thanks, - Josh. Continue reading...
