    Hi

    I have a HP Touchsmart 520 running Windows 8 Professional. When I choose shutdown, the computer intermittently reboots instead of shutting down. When I log onto the computer, I receive a message saying windows encountered a problem.

    I have installed all up-to-date drivers and done windows updates, however this issue is still happening.

    Please find the dmp file attached...hopefully this helps

    Thanks

    Hi Matthew,

    I would strongly recommend introducing yourself here on the forums first of all and contribute before asking if anyone will download a zip file from someone who has only posted 1 thing here.

    Just a security precaution.

    Is it a 32 bit or 64 bit install of the OS ?

    Why don't you try debugging it yourself using WinDbg and Microsoft symbol server ?

    1. Have you updated your video drivers ?
    2. Do you have any devices with issues in Device Manager ?
    3. Have you tried running a memory test ?
    www.memtest.org
    4. Try using microsofts DriverVerifier.
    5. Manually check all drivers and look for new versions on manufacturer websites, Windows Update and WHQL drivers aren't always the best drivers for your hardware.
    6. Consider allocating a page file at least as big as your physical memory and switching from a mini-dump to a full dump so that next time you can debug properly. Also disable automatically reboot on kernel crash in windows, this way you can read the blue screen of death.

    I am not familiar with Windows 8 at this moment in time... have you tried looking at the event log to see what may have flagged up the cause?

    The event log should always be the first place to look as should be mentioned what caused it and then you can go from there.
