Notebook reboots when choosing Start > Shutdown
G'day,
I'm setting up a brand new ASUS A54C Notebook for a friend, and am having some trouble : each time I choose to Shutdown the notebook, either when logged in using Start > Shutdown, or from the login screen, the notebook does the following:
- logs off user as normal
- shuts down notebook as normal
- after about 3 secs, automatically reboots the notebook to the login screen
The system specifications are as follows:
- Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium x64 OEM
- Intel Pentium CPU B960 @2.2GHz
- 4GB RAM
- Single 300GB HDD (1 x 25GB recovery partition; 1 x 125GB OS partition; 1 x 150GB empty data partition)
Thinking we may have a bum OEM installation causing the problematic shut down, I did a sfc /scannow which returned corruptions that cannot be fixed. I burn't the recovery disks, then did a fresh install from those recovery disks, but I still have sfc/ scannow reporting integrity violations that cannot be fixed (I have run sfc 3 x with a reboot between each).
Can someone suggest anything I can try to fix this? The goal is simply to have the notebook shutdown as normal, when selecting Start > Shutdown.
Other than this, there is absolutely no problem with the hardware or behaviour of the OS. Perhaps I am better off installing a crap-free Home Premium from an ISO, and then activating with COA sticker on bottom of laptop?
Regards,
Golden
