Nothing But Trouble with my S5580T with Windows 7(64).

[rpitts5]

I have an HP Slimline s5580t with Windows 7 (64) operating system.

It has the following problems:

  Will not completely shut down. I have to force a shutdown.

  Will not start up. I have to perform System restores to back up to a previous working version.

  Mouse will occasionally not work. I have to switch USB ports and reboot.

  Printer will not work. I have to switch USB ports and reboot.

  External hard drive is not recognized. I have to switch USB ports and reboot.

  It will not access shared drives on another computer because it does not have enough processor to load???

I am sooooooooooooo tired of rebooting....UGH.

I have no other programs open except a browser and notepad.

I want my emachine back with xp.. It ran slow but it was a tank and dependable.

Hi,

Did yuo make any hardware modifications to your PC?

Did you look at the available bios and software updates for your PC?

Did you burn a set of the HP recovery disks?  Is your data backed up?

Open up the RUN window and enter the following:

cmd

sfc /scannow  ----------> notice the space between the c and the /. 

This will scan the critical system files and attempt repairs if needed.

If the above suggestions do not solve your issue then I would recommend doing a full HP system recovery back to day one.  Then apply Windows 7 service pack 1 and subsequent updates.
