HP ProBook 450 G1 OS/Software :: Windows 7 Shutting Down
Apr 4, 2014
I bought HP Probook 450 G1 Notebook PC in March, 2014. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. For the first few days it worked well without any problem. But now about 60% of the time when I try to shut it down, it freezes at "Shutting Down..." screen. I then need to press the power button for some time to force it to go off.
1. How can I permanently get rid of this problem?
2. If I can't, then is this problem a serious one that can harm my pc?
I have a inspiron 710M. Every time i try installing windows, my laptop shuts down. I have the recovery CD from Dell.
When i ran the diagnostics test, its giving me "DST short test" failed message.
I have checked my hard disk and there is no problem. I have formatted my drive and every single time i try to install windows, it shuts down at different times but never lets me install.
I don't know if this has been discussed in another thread, but I am having a problem that has never existed before until Windows Vista & Windows 7.
When Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, & XP would go into the power saving mode just to turn off the display, it would always work. Now with either Windows Vista or 7, it does not
my notebook will not off after restarting. it stays at "WINDOWS IS SHUTTING DOWN" and God knows how long it will be like that if i dun press the off button. i found out that either the BISON or SUYIN webcam software is causing the problem....
Just got the laptop today. Went to Windows Updates out of the box and boom, it shuts down. A LOT. I managed to get the 64 bit updates in but it keeps shutting down for the rest. System Restore doesn't seem to manner.
The bottom of the laptop is hot to the touch after 2 hours worth of idle usage spent on updating windows....

The only changes I've made is removing some annoying bloatware, but I didn't expect problems this fast and this early.
I hope this is not a heating issue because I would hesitate to get a replacement. 6930 owners...have you had this problem before. Does it get hot a lot? I hope it doesn't explode if I try to play Left 4 Dead on it.
Yesterday, I saw on the Lenovo System Update app, that I had couple critical and optional updates. These were the updates:
WER Patch Lenovo Comm Utility Lenovo Power Management Driver ThinkPad Power Manager Intel WLAN Driver BIOS 2.60.1.14
There were couple updates on the Windows Side. I ran all of them in one session so I can't really say if windows messed up something or the System Update is responsible but since yesterday I can no longer shutdown my x230t i7 Win 7 Pro. I closes the desktop and then it gets to the screen where you'll see a spinning wheel and the words "Shutting Down":
But it will hang there forever and never actually shuts down. I have to press and hold down power button to shutdown.
I have problem with my new HP ProBook 450 G1 (I bought it two weeks ago). When I'm working everything is fine. CPU Temperature rarely is above 50 Celcius degrees. Most time about 45. When I leave my computer, after about 2 minutes temperature is going high to about 70 degrees. I thought there are some background processes but I killed almost every external app and in task manager nothing uses processor. What's going on?
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro (Student Edition from Dreamspark)
I can add that in Linux (Suse) everything is fine.
I had apre-installed windows7 on my HP ProBook 6555b. Today I upgraded to windows 8 but now I can't be bale to shut it down. I press the power button (or else I click on "shut-down" from the settings of the charm bar) but it goes in stand by not sht down. I checked the save battery settings and everything is ok. I contacted microsoft, they said me that it is a problem of compatibility with Hp, because windows 8 has a native antivirus and firewall, so it is a conflict between this windows 8 antivirus/firewall with a pre-installed saving energy software of HP.
I recently bought a Probook 455 G1 and I would like to create Windows 8 installation media for it. However, the setup tool provided by Microsoft doesn't accept the OEM key found by my KeyFinder program. Where to download (unmodified) 64-bit Windows 8 installation media legally?
I am looking for a driver for the "Unknown device" ACPIHPQ6007 on HP Probook 430 G1 for Windows 7 64-bit. Looking for driver or URL for download ( I did look at Microsoft and update to the last version), but still get the "Unknown device".
I installed windows 8.1 on my Probook 450 G1 and I could not find any ATI Radeon 8750M drivers to it. The windows 8 drivers are not working properly in windows 8.1 ...
I'm having an issue with my HP Probook 4530s where sound sometimes won't play. I downloaded the approriate audio driver for my computer. If I click on an application that needs administrator permissions and the User Account Control pops up, it won't play the system sound like it normally does. If I click on the speaker icon on the bottom right and adjust the volume slider it doesn't make a sound. I've also noticed that when I stream any type of video on the internet, the video won't play until the sound works again. Sometimes the video plays with no sound, then the sound catches up. I've tried many different browsers but the issue keeps happeneing regarless.
When my computer ran Windows 7, the audio worked fine. Videos always played, and system sounds always executed on cue. My motherboard got replaced at the end of last year due to overheating so I don't think it's a hardware issue. The weird thing is that this issue isn't consistent. One minute the sound could be working flawlessly, but two minutes later the sound just stops working.
I could try and capture a video of the issue I'm having and post it on Youtube, but it's difficult since the issue is sporadic. If I do get a video of it, I'll be sure to post the link.
Last night my laptop was working perfectly and then when I tried to turn the computer on, it loaded and went to the startup screen with the Microsoft logo and from there it got stuck. I tried to hit F11 but no satisfactory result. I've also tried to take the battery out, but that didn't work either. I also tried to Setup my windows bt it also stuck up there. I don't know what to do...I also ran tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory (Esc>> F10>> File>>System Diagnostics>>Memory tese/Hard Disk test). And the result was:Hard Disk Check: "Quick Check: SMART Check: NOT AVAILABLE and Short DST: WARNING" and "Extensive Check: PASSED in everything"Memory Check: PASSED now what should i do?Mine model is HP ProBook 4440s...Currently running on Windows 7.
I've started using HP ProBook 4530s with Intel Graphics on it. Then, I installed Win 7 Ultimate x64 on it and figured out, that brightness buttons don't work. (sound/music controls/sleep buttons works fine) Automatic
I resently brought a new laptop probook 450 G1. I want to download drivers for windows 8.1 operating system. When I check the driver download page it list many drivers for e.g under wirless network they list many drivers. How do I know which one to download exactly. I tried finding exact specifications for my product but they only have a general one for the model no which described all posible haredware.
I'm currently running XP and need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. I understand that I'll need to do a clean installation, but I'm wondering if my computer will support Win7Pro?
The computer is running an Intel Core2 Duo CPU t6570 @ 2.10GHz (2.09 GHz), 2.99 GB RAM.
I recently purchased a ProBook 4540S C6Z35UT notebook computer. I love the hardware. It came with Windows 8 64-bit. I never tried Windows 8 before, but I've used Windows 7 a lot. After playing with it quite a bit, I've decided I really don't like Windows 8 at all. The Start screen just gets in the way. I want a standard desktop where I can plop down some common docs I'm referencing, common program icons, etc. The flipping to the neo-Win7 desktop that Windows 8 does is quite lame. If you run a desktop program from the start menu, you flip to the desktop, but then it stays there after that program exits. It's a very "hack" design. The start menu is cute for touch pads ("surface"s) but not really laptop/desktop appropriate, imho.
So my question is: if I purchase a Windows 7 or Windows 7 Pro 64-bit version of Windows, can I install it on this machine and will it have the right driver support? Also, in case something gets messed up, is there a way to create a Windows 8 install DVD for my laptop to get it back to original state?
I have a 1 year old HP Probook 4540s that recently has the following problem.
When unplugged the laptop suddenly shuts down even tough the battery shows 29% still remaining.
I receive no notification from Windows or anything, it just shut downs like when the battery reaches 0%.
Then in order to start it again, I need to plug it in.
I previously didn't have any battery problems and running the HP Assistant informs me that the battery is ok and it doesn't need replacements. Basically the laptop is dead at 28%-29% battery life.
I just tried connecting my ps3 controllers to my laptop and I realized its not detecting my bluetooth adapter. I am on a probook 470 g1 with a realtek 8188 ee wifi card, is the bluetooth adapter built into it ?
I have tried ALL drivers on the support page, realtek bluetooth driver for win 8.1 says that don't have a realtek bluetooth adapter.
Does my probook 470G1 even have bluetooth? or is this a windows 8.1 driver issue ....
I read about uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the Synaptic product. Would uninstalling the driver leave me without any mouse funtionality in the mean time?
I'm trying to migrate my HP from the hard-drive to a new ssd I bought. As far as I know windows 8 is supposed to activate based on the code burned into the machines bios, so I bought some hp recovery dvds online as HP recovery manager no longer seems to ship with these machines, so I couldn't make one, and reinstalled windows 8 onto the machine. After install and connecting to the internet the activation failed, it said the key was blocked. This can't be, this machine came with windows 8 preinstalled, so it must have a valid key and license I've already paid for.
I've tried burning reinstall media using the Microsoft media creation tool but that too fails once it connects to the internet to validate the activation
I would prefer to fresh reinstall, I'm not even sure the drive I took out works anymore or isn't altered at this point, plus its larger than my ssd so cloning would be a problem. And I've also read of problems cloning windows 8 secure boot installs regardless. In any case I would like to some how be able to get this recovery to work.
I have a HP Probook 440 G1 laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise edition installed. I'm unable to find any drivers for the enterprise edition on the HP support page.
