ran a full scan last( c drive; archive files as well) evening before bed. when i woke up this morning my pc had shutdown without my consent. when i booted up the pc informed me of an improper shutdown. i then ran a custom scan separating my user(my documents) scan from my program and windows etc… scan. in other words i did two scans and everything worked fine. this has never happened before, what is up? thank you.
It probably means that it was really an uncontrolled, spontaneous reboot. This almost always indicates a hardware problem - usually related to insufficient cooling…
My PC at work also shuts down without warnings at times. I get a serious error warning from Windows Xp at the next reboot and then I am redirected to a microsoft page where they say they don’t know yet how to solve the problem but that it’s caused by a DRIVER incompatibility problem and if I’m satisfied with the answer. May be it’s the same kind of problem…!?
it makes sense, throough scans take a long time(i’ve got like 140 gigs of info to process) and use alot of cpu, i guess i’ll just do it custom if i want to do thorough. i do have four fully functioning fans though and my heat alarm didn’t indicate overclocking. perhaps its a driver issue although vista tells me im running the best possible drivers.
i didn’t get a redirect like you did to microsoft this only happens when i use avast and do a thorough scan. if it’s standard im fine.
