Author Topic: I need a bit of help with my computer..  (Read 992 times)

So, i've run into some problems with my Computer.
Recently, i've noticed that Windows Aero just stopped working after I closed a game. I forget what game it was, but I recently caught it working while I was playing Gmod. I had minimized Gmod, and Windows Aero was on, but as soon as I closed Gmod, it goes back to that Windows 7 Basic
Its kinda gross looking.. Anyways, if you know any ways to fix this, that would be nice. I tried using the Aero troubleshooter thing, and that couldn't find a problem.

As for the other problem. When I shutdown my computer, it only shuts down the OS, and monitor, but not the tower itself. I then have to manually shut down the tower myself by holding down the power button itself. Any help would be nice.
PC Specs:
Three i3 core processors
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Eight gigs of Ram.
Windows 7 64 Bit.
