im using an intel pentium 3 pc. My problem is, everytime i shut down my pc a message appears in the screen that i cam turn off my pc safely. But when i push the power button nothing happens, so i will turn off my ups to turn off my pc. Is that safe? What should i do? Please help me! please...
Hi,
Could you please tell us what windows version you are using? like 98, 2000, XP, etc?? I have seen a computer with Win98, worked on by a tech, that would show a similar message.
Thank you.
Hi,
Try this:
Go to Start / Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Power Options Tab.
Then, click on APM; Enable Advanced Power Management Support.
Click on Apply and OK.
I am not 100% sure this is the problem, but it's worth a try.
Good luck. If it doesn't work, please post back.
And Yes, it's safe to turn off your ups, or you can hold down the computer's on-off button for about 5 seconds....it should then shut down.
there's no apm in power management properties. alla i can see are power schemes,advance,hibernate and ups. what will i do? tnx for helping dude! thank you very much..
As Fred says, holding in the power button for 5 seconds should do the trick. If you don't want to have to do this, you can go into the bios and look for an option that says something like "when power button pressed" and the options are usually "instant off" or "delay 4 seconds".
Thanx for all your suggestion guys. I installed a windows 98se before and it automatically shutdown. But when I formatted the disk and installed xp the problem occur. I'll try to do what you have said then i will let you know the result. Again,thank you..
that same thing occured with me except that I had a windows 2000 and I installed windows XP, after that I could not surf the internet, and the computer would work slower, it woudn't read disks correctly, need help.
In addition to the point Murray made, you really don't have the same situation. Upgrading from 2K to XP is different then going from 98SE to XP. Also the symptoms you describe are way different. Please start a new thread with a new problem.
