On Windows 8, every time when the power cuts off or when I turn off the PC from the power button (5sec), the PC lags severely after the restart, and I notice the system process is using a high amount of CPU power (60-80%).

And to get it back to its normal state, I have to shut it down from the Shut down button, and then open it again.

I'm guessing it's getting lags, because when I open it again it tries to load the old session, and something keeps hanging.

The battery doesn't work anymore, so when I/someone accidentally removes the wire, then I have to wait for like 5min to use it again

Why is this happening, and what can i do to prevent it?

  • Why are you closing the PC down that way at all? Does start -> shutdown not work?

  • Are you saying if you close it properly then this issue does not occur

What you are doing is what some people call a "hard shutdown" which is NOT good for your laptop. To solve that, just simply Ctr+Alt+Del-->shutdown.

I too have windows 8 and it's obviously your computer build because I never experience that problem even when I have done hard shutdowns before

  • Considering that the actual question is "Why is this happening, and what can i do to prevent it?", I do think this answers (most) of the question. It's happening because the the op is doing a hard-shutdown, and it can be prevented by shutting down normally. I experience similar delays after a hard shutdown. I assume the PC is doing some kind of fsck or something.

  • How does it solve it @jimtut - the last paragraph states benimen has never experienced it. The first is a work around but as the OP states, the issue could be when the cable is knocked out since the OP doesn't have a battery. This isn't an answer, at best, a work around

  • The problem is that his computer probably cannot handle a hard shutdown that well, my computer however, can, although I choose to not perform a hard shutdown because there is still a chance that my computer could experience the lag as well. My point is that probably because the user does a hard shutdown so often that his (or her) computer probably cannot handle it.
