My HP Pavilion, with windows XP keeps shutting down unexpectedly about two hours after I switch it on. It used to do it only every few days until yesterday.
I looked in my event viewer and there are two errors that appear at the same time as it shuts down every time,
I went onto help and support and it gave me this for each error:
Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 7000 Source: Service Control Manager Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: EVENT_SERVICE_START_FAILED Message: The %1 service failed to start due to the following error:
%2
Explanation Service Control Manager (SCM) could not start the specified service, probably because the service is not configured correctly.

User Action Do one or all of the following:


  • Review the error information displayed in the message.
  • Verify that the service password has not expired.
  • Verify that the service is in the correct location.
  • Verify that the service is not infected with a virus.
  • To display the WIN32_EXIT_CODE error that SCM encountered when trying to start the program, at the command prompt, type
    sc query service name
    The information displayed can help you troubleshoot possible causes for the error.

    If the WIN32_EXIT_CODE is zero, then SCM did not attempt to start the service because the error was detected first.
and


Source: Service Control Manager ID: 7009 (Windows Operating System 5.1.2600.0) - Events And Errors Message Center: Message Detailsfunction CloseDiv() {document.all.menuKBsign.src="images/hiderMinus.gif"; menuKBoutline.style.display=''; } // preload images var Open = ""; var Closed = ""; Open = new Image(11,11); Closed = new Image(11,11); Open.src = "images/hiderMinus.gif"; Closed.src = "images/hiderPlus.gif"; function showhide(what,what2,what3) { if (what.style.display=='none') { what.style.display=''; what2.src=Open.src; what3.style.color='#000000'; } else { what.style.display='none'; what2.src=Closed.src; what3.style.color='#003399'; } }
Details Product: Windows Operating System ID: 7009 Source: Service Control Manager Version: 5.2 Symbolic Name: EVENT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT Message: Timeout (%1 milliseconds) waiting for the %2 service to connect. Explanation Within a specified time period after a new service starts, it notifies Service Control Manager (SCM) that it is ready to connect. In this case, the service did not notify SCM within the time period.

The service might be stuck in a loop or waiting on a system resource, such as additional memory.

User Action To determine why the service is not connecting, do the following:


  • Verify that the service is configured correctly.
  • Verify that the system is in a healthy state, for example, it is not running low on resources.

If it helps...

If it helps the only times I can remeber it shutting down is when I've got a full screen game up like world or warcraft and Rome: Total War
I'm not sure if it only does it with a full screen game... but atleast the last 3-4 times its happned when i've got one of them up
Is there a power setting that will make my laptop shutdown after a certain amout of time if I have a full screen game up?
 
Could look in Settings>Control Panel> Power Options>Properties and see what the settings are.
Could also be overheating if your playing games on it for long periods of time?
I'm not a gamer, but another gamer might have a better view on it.
 
The amount of time I'm playing on it currently sort of rules out overheating.... unless my fans broken because I'm not playing for as longer periods of time as i used to, and my computer never shut down then, but it could be the problem
I did'nt go on games for two hours and it worked fine so I'm back on them so my laptops lasting the longest its done for a while... I messed about with power options properties before and that may of done something
Thanks for your help everyone, hope its more or less fixed now
 
Ugh it did it again :D Don't think it was power options... but I've had my computer running for the night with the lid down and its gone for 11 and a half hours.... So It might be something to do with the full screen games... somehow

11.5 hours with the Laptop on could well be overheating even with the laptop screen closed down!
Laptops are not designed to stay on that long of time!
 
was just an experiment to see if it would still shut off if the lid was down.... still no furthur into what it might be though :(

Erm i'd beg to differ on this point...My crapper sorry Acer hasn't been switched off in about 5 months...All I do is close the lid..remember when you close the lid, you pretty much put the laptop into standby, which shuts just about everything down...Never over heated on me...

What game are you playing..? Is your laptop reaching the minimum requirements for the game...?In other words is the spec of the laptop good enough for the game...? HAve you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the game..???
 
Urm got the laptop as a present for exam results.... sooo thats 2 and a half years nd I have no idea about the warrenty

And for madxgraphics am either playing WOWWOTLK, rome: total war, rome: total war barbiaien invasion, or master of olympus: zues
