Computer auto shutdown at start up with 1 second delay.

Losing_grip · Post by **Losing_grip** » 05 Apr 2009, 08:10

My friend can only use her computer in safe mode because it automatically shutdown when she boots it in normal mode, and it gives only 1 second.
SO she can't do the shutdown -a.

I wonder if is there anyway to fix this in safe mode

Thanks in advance

Check the startup files to see if there is anything fishy about it.

Start -> run -> regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows / currentVersion / Run

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / currentVersion / Run

Most likely some crap sneaking around in the background, but if she's unlucky it's some really nasty crap xF

Should i run Hijackthis and post the logs here?

You are better of posting it here:

Code: Select all

The site can analyse the log for you and tell you if there's any nasty stuff present.
