ACPI or w/e it is in the bios? Try resetting the bios defaults on the laptop and see what happens. I used to have that problem on an old motherboard, it was just ****ty support from both ends and I just had to deal with it until I got a new one.

also forgot to mention the desktop doesn't always automatic refresh its self

Hi Joe

I suspect they are two different problems. Lets start with the shutoff. can you type cmd in search>powercfg -H enter
see what value it returns

Re refresh:
Look in event viewer (type eventvwr in search) go to the windows logs>application tab. Look for errors (red in left hand column) that have app hang, app crash, etc. Around the time of the hangs. Let us know what the event ID and srouce codes are

Thanks

You would want to check the Diagnostics-Performance log.

Event Viewer>Windows Logs>Applications>Microsoft>Windows>Diagnostics>Performance>Operational

Google errors to resolve.

Unfortunately the Event ID 100 only tells you how long the shutdown was degraded.

Clues must be found in the error reports which specify which hardware or driver is responsible for the degraded shutdown or startup.

Right click Computer>Manage>Services and turn off the HPsrv to see if it changes any behavior of your HP all-in-one. It shouldn't. It appears to be another one of many unneeded services installed with manufacturer's bloatware.

Then type msconfig into your Start box and in the Startup tab I would uncheck everything you don't absolutely need to start up with the computer because they are just free riders. You only need your AV, poss gadgets and stickynotes. All others can start when you click them.

If there are any issues as a result of these changes, then google each listing to find out exactly what it does, and add it back in if you must. Most aren't needed at all except to leech CPU and RAM.
