Dylan Lampard Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Ok, Well i have windows 7 home premium and i've got an annoying issue i can't find out how to fix. Basicaly after 1hr or so of nothing happening on the computer, it shuts itself donw. Now this is annoying as when im donwloading PNW it downloads very little. I went to school today, and left it downloading. Hoping it would be done before 'on Peak comes at 12pm. So my question: How do i disable autoshutdown, its really annoying as i might have to wait another 3days before i can get PNW going. Cheers, Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Does it shut down completely or just into 'sleep' mode? To stop it going into 'sleep' mode Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options and press "change when the computer sleeps" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Just a wild guess, but if you are using the older RC (Release Candidate) edition of W7, it will auto-shutdown until you upgrade to an RTM version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Lampard Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks Tim, I think that may have got it. I'll try it out tomorrow. And i do have the RTM, if im correct that expired quite some time ago? Cheers, Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Pre release will shutdown and the PC will also shutdown if it is allowed to Hibernate, IMHO not cool. but thats Louver's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
