PC JUST SHUTS DOWN AFTER A FEW HOURS BEING IDLE

Post by tccc143 »

If I leave the computer on overnight it shuts down (WIN7). I have changed the power settings to "Always On" but it still does it. Either the computer is defective, or I am missing something........any ideas?

Please check whether you have the latest BIOS version.

I have tried to update the BIOS, but when I go to flash the thumb drive I get an error message (IMAGEWRITER MFC has stopped working). I have tried to find a solution but it will not work. I have tried several different thumb drives with no luck. Anyone have an idea>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The ImageWriter does not work with Windows 7.
If you have an XP PC use it to create the image.

Formatted the thumb drive and ready to go, but my unit will not boot up using the thumb drive. I have selected it in BIOS to search for it first, but does not read it. Just loads straight to Windows.......suggestions.......

It shows fine in MY COMPUTER, and is assigned a drive letter.....

Try to boot into the BIOS with the USB key inserted. If the specific usb key
is in the list of boot devices move it to the top. It has happened several times to me
that I have had to do this. Even though I have set usb boot as default I have
to manually make the setting for each specific usb key. Hope this helps.

OK, now what.......I try to get into the BIOS screen but I don't get the splash screen to choose F2. It goes straight to windows....I have tried to press F2 as it reboots but it goes straight into windows.......
