Hello,

My Lenovo G550 with Windows XP also freeze on the message "Windows is shut down..." and I don't know why.

It also freeze on the message "Preparing to stand-by"   when I try to stand-by computer.

It happends only when computers is on battery.

Any solutions?

System Restore before drivers install

Install Xp drivers from this link only: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=600154

DON'T INSTALL AUDIO DRIVER

First i installed windows XP and my sistem was freezing every few minutes. 
After that i installed windows 7 and when i installed the graphic card i unchecked the nvidia audio driver.

The isstem forked for a day and started to freeze again after the windows update !!!

ps. i wrote this post twice because the system freezed at writing the first post and i had to turn off the pc off and on.

all you have to do with all this kind of problems is to disable /unmarking in the device system management/  USB ROOT HUB (all of them) ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO TURN OF THIS THEVICE TO SAVE POWER ! after that all works fine 4 me :-)

Enjoy
