Shut-off after 60 seconds Bitlocker

Find a old drive and plug it in to the other SATA slot load windows on it and boot in to that drive then make a system image. That will tell you if it is the drive. I would be suspect of a company that can simply give you an answer "its not our fault its windows" did they do testing or did they just somehow know that by using the psychic troubleshooting method

You should open a new thread and post the exact issues you get. That way you can get an answer to the questions.

Does you shutdown only happen within the bitlocker login prompt or can you suspend bitlocker and recreate it. What are the time frame ranges it shuts down at? Are you getting a bitlocker recovery or a warning that you maybe at risk?

Bitlocker doesn't really have the ability to shut down and really the only thing that is running during the phase you are at is hardware. The rest of the system is at a pause.

You can create a USB unlock key and see if you get a crash when there is no user entered password required

Great, thanks for that.

I wonder how long we have to wait, it's only been 18 months for me !

Good to know the problem is not my end.

Thanks for the reply.

After a few days, I had no more shutdowns (previously, they happened most of the time). So in my case it seems clear that the ACPI Probe II sense driver (AMDA00) on my ASUS board was the main culprit than lead to frequent shutdown after variable, short times during password entry.

Like I said, there is also an unrelated shutdown after 60sec if I don't enter the password, but that doesn't bother me since I don't take me that long to enter my password.

So for other people with ASUS mainboards and quick (<60sec) or variable time shutdowns, from my experience I'd suggest updating the ACPI Probe II sense driver, which can be downloaded from the section of the ASUS website relating to your mainboard/motherboard.

I have the same problem.  Asus z97-A USB 3.1.  I'm currently running the updated AMDA00 driver and that didn't fix it.

I am using a Samsung 850EVO trying to use hardware encryption.  I have contacted ASUS and submitted a support ticket.

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro. I turned on bitlocker for full drive encryption (this is part of windows 8.1 Pro). Bitlocker works fine - except on startup when it's asking for your password. While I'm typing the password my ASUS laptop shuts off. It shuts off in approx 10 to 15 seconds. Sometimes I can type fast enough to get it to boot. I have an ASUS laptop Q501LA.

I opened a ticket with ASUS.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this issue?
