Computer Info

Unspeakable results can occur

Failure to do so will result in problems occurring in the near future. So always be aware of what you’re doing on your computer. I know sometimes unexpected issues occur when we you least expect it. Sometimes you may not have a choice but to shut down your computer. For example an instance of your computer stalls from installing updates. In this type of situation there’s no choice but to forcefully shut it down. Now keep in mind this may not happen over night or better yet not at all.

Make sure any surge protector or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is not the cause of your problem. By connecting the computer directly to a power outlet on the wall. If you have a UPS that connects a USB cable to the computer to manage power saving features, make sure it is also disconnected.

If this resolves your problem, you may have a defective surge protector or UPS. In the case of the UPS, there may be other issues, such as a UPS overload or UPS drivers, reporting bad power situations that cause your computer to shutdown. Make sure there are not too many devices connected to your UPS and that it has the latest software updates.
