My PC has recently been turning itself off and this is what the event viewer says is happening when it turns off. Does anyone know what this error is/how to fix it. I cant find anything on the Microsoft support site.

Thanks

I hope not. I cant find any info on it at all, anywhere. This thread ties in with another one i posted about my pc not booting or reseting. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=560352

I dont really know whether its a hardware issue or something to do with the software.

Hi, first post here... just been looking into the same issue on a friends laptop - vista premium, all updates, ie 7 and firefox...

read your post earlier - this laptop was shutting vista down automatically on a few sites and whenever a download was attempted. I created a new account which creates a new profile and the problem does not exist. I probably won't look further oz I have already spent a couple of hours on things like java and flash updates, browser test sites etc. so will just create a new account and transfer data... hope this helps... Many blessings... Chris ) John 3:17

Update to last post. Before I gave up on the profile I added AVG and it found a worm i-worm.vb-tc I think. AVG deleted one instance which then allowed the original profile to download file from the internet successfully. I then ran a full a scan and it found several other instances which were dealt with. Laptop is fine now. Chris :)

    • Sure is a shame that Google spent all of its efforts on maximizing milking ###### ad revenue instead of actually improving their once ubiquitous and best-in-class search engine with, say, a useful AI that could actually improve search results... /S
    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
