Dalo Harkin Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Can you give us more info? You say changed to W7 (was something else on it before) or do you mean you had another PC and this is now a new one with W7 on... Normally this happens if you just turn the PC off by the switch at the wall or holding the power button down..

astragirl Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Dalo this is a new hp g56 windows 7 from pc world .I switch off by the sleep button and then switch off at the wall, Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 You cant use sleep to shut down a PC, it literally just makes the PC sleep so that when you come back and press the keys it resumes (almost like suspend) If you then turn it off at the wall then it will give you the error as you describe Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.

Starbuck Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 This should show you how to shut the system down correctly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/starbuck50/new/sd2.png Then by all means turn the power off at the socket if you want. Quote Member of:UNITE
