Windows 7 Starter Hanging up on Shutdown: Anyone else experiencing this or have a CURE?

I added the 800hz crucial 2GB upgrade and the same thing happens when it restarts after updates. Normal restarts and shutdowns are fine, but just those restarts after program installations etc. are causing this. I'm thinking of upgrading to windows 7 home to see if it gets better, but I don't know yet...

Mine did this too. I believe what your saying is it won't finish booting up. Have you tried holding the power button in for more than 30 seconds when turning it on? That sometimes helped mine as it will start to boot up and because you're' holding the power button in, it will shut down immediately. I had to take mine back because it stopped running many of my apps.

Did you put 2gb of memory in it?I ordered 2gb of crucial memory aimed for the 1005PE and have had this problem ever since.I thought that updating the BIOS fixed the problem - because after the BIOS update the problem seemed to end.But I later concluded that the restart and shut down problems only happen on battery power. When plugged in no problem.Try shutting down your 1005PE on battery power. Then try it pluggen in. Let me know if you have the same problem as I have.

The start button works perfectly on my machine, haven't used many of the processing buttons, but try the reset button, and see if that works. Possibly this is a damaged product.

Hold the OFF button until it shuts off. Wait 30 seconds and start it up again

Make sure you have the proper input selected, usb/eSata, otherwise if it detects no input it will shut down automatically within 10 seconds

I'm having the same problem, attempting to troubleshoot. Printer keeps going offline and the only fix seems to be uplug it and plug it back in.

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

Mine has worked fine with 3 different MBs. All cases use momentary contact. The reset on mine is on the same toggle as the power button...power right and reset left. Also you may have connected to the wrong pins on the MB or reversed the polarity on the connections. You are correct that holding power contact for 5 seconds is designed to activate a shutdown. Good luck!

I haven't tried it on windows 7 yet. It struggled a bit with Vista even. I cleaned my internal disk and shut down all other programs and now it works great. You might want to try that as well as turning off your wireless internet search and let the whole intro run without touching anything. Make sure your computer has time to start up and level out, if your CPU usage is too high it may abort prematurely. Try that or talk to a professional. Hope that helps!

I'd just back up in the "Menu Tree" and try again. If that didn't work I'd Power cycle the unit to reboot it and start over. Good luck.

Happened to me, have you tried the reset pinhole? Need to use a paperclip, press and hold for 10-15 until it reboots. Worked for my sons

Yes I had the same problem, also once I was able to get it on, i could not reset it to zero, without waiting for it to shut down and trying to restart again. I emailed the seller and still have had NO reply.

I had the same problem. Clearing the settings and starting over worked for me.
