I recently installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x64) for my laptop and
it just started randomly shutting off. I wanted to investigate a few things:
CPU temp and device drivers. No errors are getting logged against the Event
Viewer, but when I try to go to Device Manager, i get the error: MMC cannot
open the file c:\windows\system32\devmgmt.msc

There is KB for XP addressing this and that didn't fix anything for me. Is
there another reason I can't go to the device manager?

Thanks,
Abe
 
Re: laptop shuts off

Hello Abe,

Was it an upgrade or fresh install? Is the hardware compatible for 2008?
Do you have all correct drivers for 2008? Did some error message or warning
occur during installation?

Best regards

Re: laptop shuts off

It was a fresh install. Everything was clean and clear. ALl the appropriate
drivers were installed. Its been running fine for a month. I figured that
somewhere there would be errors that I could see.

Also, winprvse32 is running at 10%. I don't have windows resource manager
installed and I checked that it is not a trojan and is running from the right
location.

Thanks,
Abe
