HELP - System Shutdown!

**Private_mojo** · 11-08-2003, 08:30 PM

I dont know if this is meant for Hardware or Software but I have abit of a problem.

Twice in the last 5 minutes my computer has had a "System Shutdown". It has done it once before about a week or 2 ago.

I have no idea why, an "Don't Send" messsage (you know when it says wanna send them a message about the error) comes up first saying "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services" and then it goes to the system shutdown bit.

I managed to saved a screenshot 1 second before the shutdown...how heroic. But I can't actually host images

**UPDATE**
As I was writing this message that error came up again, I havent clicked dont send because thats what normally triggers the system shutdown.

That's happening everywhere tonight! My mate's PC, his mate's PC, loads of people on Hardforums are complaining about it. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? It's some sort of virus epidemic! I seem to be the only one not getting it.

Mind you now I've said that it'll probably popup later on.

My brother is getting this very same problem at the moment as well :/

Cheers luke.

How annoying though. I have ZoneAlarm Pro running now and it seems to have stopped happening.

But Zone Alarm Pro stops any animated avatars from working

I like those avatars!

Thanks guys. Hope they work

Are you guys running a firewall?.

I know there is a fix, but i'm interested if you where running a firewall whether this would stop it.

Thanks

My brother was not running a firewall. I got him to turn the XP one on but it made no difference.

**Private_mojo** · 11-08-2003, 09:07 PM

Well I have just installed a patch off Howard's post so I'm expecting that will fix it.

I started running ZoneAlarm Pro after the 3 Shutdowns and it hasnt done it since. So I expect that stopped it.

**Trash Man** · 11-08-2003, 09:08 PM

That patch has worked for my brother. let this be a lesson to all you peeps who don't keep you computer up to date with the latest patches

**Private_mojo** · 11-08-2003, 09:10 PM

Yup

I have learned for sure!

Has your brother just fixed it now? If it wasnt for me posting this he wouldnt have known. Unless of course you told him those links...

Anyways; That's the end of that chapter! now, roll on the next computer related problem! (i always have something to deal with!)
