Shut down is going on and on - Computers & Internet

I have had the same problem with my Ford mustang the only thing is that it only shuts down in high idle, after the engine temperature warms up there is no shut down. It could have something to do with the transmission or the temperature sensor the best thing to do is get a full diagnostic and not do it your self.

go to energy settings and find out the settings and change the behavior for the power button.

Not enough information for us to make a suggestion. You say the engine shut down? Is the engine seized up or will it start back up? Did the engine make a noise before it shut down? Did it sputter or cough before it shut down? We need more information before we can make any suggestions.

vehicle shuts down while driving down road and does not start backup for at least 20 minutes, could be a bad crank sensor. if bad it will start and run fine, but it will keep shutting down until fixed.

Some fo the software crashes whie it's shutting down. Either load up a system restore point from before theis problem started, or reinstall some of the software until you no longer get the problem.
Careful with system restore because when you select a date for it to go back to it will uninstall any software that you installed after that date. It will NOT delete your personal data, like pictures, music, etc even if you put them on the computer after the date selected.

Your are not "shutting down" the laptop. It is going into "Stand-by" mode.

#1:
When you want to shut down,
select [Start]
then select "Shut down" and not "Stand-by"

The power button will also work.
#2:
When you want to shut down,
Press the power button and nothing else.
The laptop will log you OFF and "shut down"

computer abruptly shutting down does not have anything to do with hdd errors unless it tell you there was hard disk error

if computer shuts down in like a second or two, you might have a problem with the power supply unit, or the power cord that goes to the computer is loose in the tower or on the wall socket.

if the computer shuts down normally i.e. windows displaying "windows is shutting down" massage that you would get when you normally shut down pc...then you might wanna check your power plan option from the control panel. disable any hibernation/shut down options.
go to control panel, go to power option, go to edit this power option..
you should see if you have selected to shut down the computer after a given time...select this to never and it may solve the problem.

1. Normal shutdown: select Start - Shut Down - Shut Down

2. System hangs: select Alt-Ctrl-Del and then Shutdown

3. If #2 doesn't work - hold the power button until the screen is dark

Hope this helps.

does the monitor stay white after shut down or does it go back to a black screen?
