    Computer switches off when attempting to come out of sleep

    Update: I was writing to MSI to report the issue and noticed they've added a new BIOS today, so I flashed my bios and now the computer resumes from sleep fine! I won't get back the several hours I've spent trying to fix this, but good to know the issue wasn't with my operating system and it's...

    Computer switches off when attempting to come out of sleep

    I already created a minidump through this method. I would upload it (1.6GB), but I've just read through the two threads you mentioned. It seems, that MSI lists my ram as 'overclock compatible' but not 'compatible' (whatever that means). The bios has a profile for my exact ram, but according to...

    Diagnostic Startup Not Working

    Okay, I'll give it a go on next reboot. I just wasn't sure if it would automatically activate a restore point or similar.

    Keyboard not working

    What is your motherboard? Most modern MSI motherboards (there will be similar setting, but perhaps named differently for other makes) have bios options that can affect the recognition of USB peripherals. If you can see an option along the lines of 'Windows 7 Install' (even though this is Windows...

    Diagnostic Startup Not Working

    Whilst trying to solve another issue (sleep mode doesn't work) with my clean Windows 10 install (now a few days old with a few programs installed), I tried setting the computer to diagnostic startup in msconfig. Upon restarting, I would get to the login screen, but when pressing a key to login...

    To give an update; since updating to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition yesterday I tried sleeping again; on first attempt my monitors turned on and I could see the login screen and move the mouse for a couple of seconds. Then I got a BSOD reading CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. On reboot and further tried...

    MY PC resumes automatically from hibernation!!

    If port forwarding is configuerd correctly for your router, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. I would start a new post as this is a separate issue, and make sure to state your router make/model.

    Unknown file EuviZhazh.dll error.

    In regedit (type it in your search box) navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Nodes\CLSID - then with that folder selected go to edit > find and type in EuviZhazh.dll and untick all but 'data' in the 'look at' section, and click find next. That should find the full path.

    Unknown file EuviZhazh.dll error.

    You can see if any process is currently accessing the dll through 'tasklist /m "C:\SomeLocation\EuviZhazh.dll"' in a command prompt. There's a chance that'll help you track down the issue (if the issue isn't that this dll is missing). Edit: If you just want to stop this error without...

    MY PC resumes automatically from hibernation!!

    Do you have any peripherals (e.g. a mouse or keyboard) connected to the server? If you haven't already I'd check they're not allowed to wake the computer (through device manager > [item] > properties > power save). I'd also check the bios for wakeup options to make sure there's not something...
