Auto switchoff of system

Hello,

I am not sure if there is a fix for this OS as Win95 has always had this problem. What causes this is the way APM and APCI handle the power down of the sytem, regarding Sleep mode, standby mode, and various hibernation modes. It is a mixture of the hardware involved it unfortunatly does not all relate to the power suppy. Alot of the time you can put a direct link to shutdown problems to the way your IRQ's are handled and the memory space is divided between system components. I would remove all cards and set your BIOS to take control of the hardware settings. See if this helps but 99% of the WIn95 systems I see which are very few anymore, display this same behavior.
Good Luck but I would suggest an upgrade to the newer OS's and this is no guarantee in itself, some 98 and ME machine's do this as well.

Work through the below procedures and apply those fixes that relate to what you are using on the computer:

Hey...
I have seen versions of this problem, and I suspect that what happened was that a program or application was shut down incorrectly and it affected your Windows registry. You may be able to locate the file that shuts down the machine and edit it. Try Start, Run, then type "regedit." I don't think it matters what you do to the registry at this point, because you probably should reinstall. The tricky part is: have you backed up anything that needs backing up ? You should learn the registry because that's probably where the problem is. I use the HP Colorado tape drive as a backup device, but I run 4 OSs on the same box. So backup everything important, the n do a reinstall. You might print out the registry before and after thereinstall and then compare the two. Play around with the registry after a fresh reinstall, but never if you have lots of important stuff you don't want to lose !!! Good Luck!!!!!

1) If it is software bugs, try to download this freeware: Recleaner: www.jv16.org. Use "tools"--> Registry Clean--> Do them all.

2) Check the bios: (press Crtl+F1 for some motherbroads) see whether this feature is enabled. As I know windows 95 support this feature.
3) Do the computer re-check the harddisk automatically after this manual swithch off?
(The blue screen and scan) If it does, there is some problems with the programs or the windows registry. The safest solution: re-install win95 (and re-install all the programs too.)

Hi
There are 2 type of power managment.
1- APM
2- ACPI

It should be supported by the OS and BIOS.
