I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask about this, but I thought I'd give it a try. I bought an ASUS N56VJ laptop in February of this year, 2013. It has suddenly shut down six or seven times. This happens very randomly and with no pattern that I can see. It's not an overheating issue as I'm monitoring the temperature with ReatTempGT (and it often happens after only being on for a few minutes). I managed to find an error when I checked the event viewer that was from approximately the time that it happened. I'll post the information below. If anyone can explain what's going on I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Have you uninstalled your Nvidia drivers?
Run the default windows drivers for a bit see if it stabilizes.
If all is good, then use a different Nvidia driver version.
I bought a new Dell laptop running Windows 7 Professional last Thursday. It has shut down twice without warning. When i start it back up, i get the "Windows didn't shut down normally" message after which it stays on for a couple days and shuts down again. It just happened for the 2nd time this AM and i felt the bottom. It doesn't feel hot.
I checked the event viewer and there were no messages of any failures just the "system shut down unexpectedly" message.
I have Windows Update set to NOT update automatically as i know that can sometimes force a restart. However, in this case the computer didn't restart, it shut down without starting back up.
I ran sfc/scannow and it did find some corrupted files (on a brand new system??) and repaired them.
Attached is the excerpt of the cbs.log with the details on the repaired files. Could that be the problem? Any other ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Is it brand spanking new, refurbished, or new to you?
What most likely is causing your problem is an issue with the ac adapter and/or its connection into the laptop.
BTW; if it is a fresh install of Windows 7, you need to get about 200 updates that should not be postponed! Go to Start -> Control Panel -> switch it to Large Icons -> Windows Update, and keep going back until it is done.
I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 running winxp pro. Lately, the laptop has become extremely flaky. If the laptop is moved, jostled, repositioned, bumped, or even if the screen is tilted up or down, the screen will go black and the fan will start humming. It will always try to access the cd drive as well. It will not respond, so I have to manually turn it off.
Here's a couple of things that I know for sure:
It's not a heat issue, unless the sensor is out of whack.
It's not a software issue.
The battery is good.
Any ideas? Thanks so much for your input...

I have an Acer Aspire 5720Z which keeps shutting down unexpectedly.
I have tried changing the hard drive and Ram, even different operating systems, but the problem keeps happening. I dont think its heat related as it can occur within minutes of switch on.
i have a bought a new mains adaptor, but it still happens whether on mains or battrey power.
Anyone got any ideas??

My Gateway T-1625 PC notebook keeps on shutting off on its own after about 20 minutes. When i give it a rest and boot it back up, it stil shuts down after about that amount of time.... and sometimes in even less time. I am afraid it will crash or perhaps it is missing a key component in the registry? Please help. I'd like some good advice on what I should do.

Hi everyone, I hope i can find a few good suggestions here.
Let me begin by saying, this thread might be in the wrong section since i get a shut down, with no blue screen before. If so, please bear with me, i did have a look around for similar posts and the problem was similar but not identical.
Now, the situation: I have a msi GT 780 (DXR... not positive) laptop with 8 GB RAM on a windows 7, 64-bit Home Premium OS and an nVidia GPU with 1.5 GB RAM. (i can post the details later, but they might not be all that relevant). Recently i decided to split my RAID 0 hard drive in order to replace one of the two drives with an SSD. I installed the Win 7 OS on the SSD and pretty much everything else on the (freshly initiated and formatted) regular HDD. This worked well so far and i installed and updated all drivers i could think of. Performance has increased significantly, as was the idea behind the whole undertaking.
As usual, Windows spend several days installing several hundred updates, since unfortunately there is no bundled update in Windows update. Right now, there are no more updates available on Windows Update.
So, the issue i have: I play a game on the machine (through Steam, which is installed on the HDD), in yesterday's case Civilization 5, when out of nowhere my screen goes black and the machine switches off. No BSOD, no "shutting down" screen, just straight to "off".
Overheating was my first thought (although prior to the hard drive replacement t... Read more
Hi there,
Just a few quick questions, is your power supply cutting out as well? (Does the charging light/AC Power light blink out?) If this is the case then it could be that running the game and everything else could be drawing too much power causing it to shutdown.
If this isn't the case then I would suggest its the game, you mentioned it didn't happen on AC Black Flag? Does it happen on any other games other than Civi 5? In this case the game is more than likely at fault and obviously affecting your laptop negatively.
What power mode is your laptop in? A long shot but it could be related to this? Stick it in performance mode and ramp up the CPU etc. to the same, don't forget the fans as well! (Can all be changed from advanced power settings).
A long time ago some games I played on early Win 7 required me to kill some processes in Task Manager. If you pop into TM and check out any unnecessary tasks that can be killed then kill them and try Civi 5 again?
Hope some of these may help you diagnose the problem and may even lead to a fix!
Keep us posted if you get somewhere.
I have an Ideapad N581 and it shuts down whenever it is running a large program, consistently with games such as SIMS. I have it on a fan powered cooling pad to attempt to keep it cool. It has slowed it a little as it was happening multiple times a week. Has anyone else had this issue. I have had many laptops and never had one that shuts down as frequently. Additionally my battery won't charge fully and will only last about 20 minutes on battery power. Don;t know if any of this is related. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.Tim
Go to Solution.
Hi Tim,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I?m sorry to hear that your N581 Laptop is turning OFF frequently while playing bigger games and also the battery backup is not as expected. I suggest you to check the compatibility of the game once before playing it :
Game Compatibility check
Also for the Battery backup issue, I suggest you to install LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) below is the link to download the exact LEM for the computer and after installing you need to choose (Maximum Battery Life). By choosing the (Optimized Battery Health), the Battery charges only to 60% and stops charging the battery and then it take its power from the charger, so if you want to charge the battery to 100%, choose (Maximum Battery Life).
Lenovo Energy Management for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Lenovo Energy Management for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Lenovo Power Management for Windows 8.1(32-bit, 64-bit)
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

I have an Asus laptop, i7-3610QM 4-core, 6 GB of RAM, 750 GB hard drive space. When I close the lid to put it to sleep, it shuts off, and gives me the Windows Error Recovery screen upon restart, saying is was shut down unexpectedly.
The power options are all set to sleep when the lid is closed, both on battery and when unplugged. I went through the forums and tried a few suggested solutions (chkdsk, /scannow, updating drivers, etc), and so far nothing has provided a permanent fix.
I have a Wacom tablet, and I saw that other users were having problems with an associated pen/tablet driver causing the shut down, but I downloaded and installed the most recent one on their site, and still no results.
I'll upload the zip file obtained from running the sevenforums tool as well. If you guys could offer any more suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Do you have the Asus Power4Gear application installed? If so I would check the setting there also. I've had a few minor problems with my G74Sx and 2 of them were connected to that application.
Welcome to Sevenforums!
Hello, For the past couple of weeks I have seem to be running into an issue in which the laptop that I am using would shut down unexpectedly when around 30% battery life and unplugged. This as led to a host of other issues such as work not being saved before it decides to shut down and similar issues. I am not that much of a computer person, so the only thing that I could think of to find out what the problem may be was doing a battery diagnostics check through the HP support assistance, which states that the battery is in working order. I have no idea what is causing such an issue and I am badly looking for a solution, if anybody has had a similar problem and/or knows a solution to this issue please provide some light to the issue. Thank you.More replies
Lately my PC has been shutting down out of the blue, in about 5 seconds at that. Also, upon turning it back on it starts up real slowly. This generally happens when playing games, however if I'm on the computer that's what I'm doing so not sure if that's a good assumption. No viruses, according to AVG at least. When I look at shutdowns in event viewer it doesn't say much more than it shut down due to error.
/e I'm running windows 10 on an HP Envy with i7 Processor and 12 gb ram. Also, of 5 Hardware monitoring programs, not a single one will report any 5v or 12v readings for my motherboard. Is my power supply bad, or are none of these compatible enough to test it?
Do you receive any blue screen errors when this happens ? If not suggest to check temps and voltage with this free software, can be Power supply issue or temperature issue. Can post a screen capture from this software http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html2 more replies
We had a short power cut some weeks ago, when power resumed,cut,then came on again, and my PC was on,plugged into a surge protector-Belkin.No adverse results other than the PC shuts down from time to time unexpectedly.Not frequently,but it has done so while I was typing a Word document,and several times when I've left it a while with Outlook Express,or a website open, and returned to find it's shut down in the interim- it always restarts immediately, as if I, or someone,had suddenly clicked Turn off and Restart, but previously open programs are closed.(With normal Turn off, or power off, of course it wouldn't restart.)The PC is an Evesham,3 years old,with Windows XP.Any ideas?

Hello,My desktop PC which seems to function fine sometimes (about three times a week) turns itself off for no reason. This isn't a controlled shutdown (ie no "Windows is shutting down" screens), it just suddenly stops.About 80% of the time the problem happens during strat up. Just FYI - the PC runs updated Windows XP, has plenty of hard drive space, 512 RAM, 1.6GHz processor, new video card. Runs Telewest/Blueyonder PC Guard as anti-virus.Any ideas? Or is there anything I can down load and install that might report where the problem is next time I start up?Thanks
Depending on the demands of the new graphics card it could be a sign you need a new or more powerful power supply.6 more replies

Welcome to TSG.
Are you getting any messages after your restarts?
Check fo critical errors in Event Viewer= Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer/System, look for red X's. Double click the event, then the link and ok to send to view details.
I work at a bank and I have a customer that is trying to access our web site. Each time she enters our address it causes IE to shut down. She gets the following error message after IE closes: The instruction at "0x03ab4176" referenced memory at 0x03ecc920". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.
I have made sure that she has all the current updates. I don't know anything about her PC except that she is using XP and IE 7.
I don't believe it has anything to do with our website because I have accessed it from several different PC's and have never experienced this issue before.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.
In IE, Tools> Internet Options> Advanced tab. Uncheck the box:
Enable third-party browser extensions
Apply, Ok and OK. Reboot and see if you still have this problem. If it doesn't help, you can recheck it.
This sometimes happens if Windows Update had some problems installing a download. Go to your Control Panel and turn off Automatic Updates and reboot. Go to the Microsoft website and download all windows updates from there. Once downloaded and installed, reboot your computer and you should be good. At that time, you can re-enable Automatic Updates.
i have an A30 notebook and it shuts down without any indication. this happens at any moment in time. i've tried updating the BIOS, virus scanning, everything. i did notice that the laptop had dust on the fans which i've blown off but problem still happens.
i have noticed that the pc now says it has only 224B of RAM im sure it should have at least 256MB.
could the dust have caused overheating and damaged the RAM by anychance.
any ideas?
cheers lee
some A30 Series Notebooks have shared Graphic Memory.
This deviation of the RAM you explained is 32 MB... ;)
Which Notebook Model do you have exactly ?

Hi, Welcome to SF
Issue could be with your power supply unit (PSU). Try to replace it with a spare one and check. Make sure all the hardware is properly connected and seated in the slots.
Keep us posted.
My wife's computer, running Windows XP Pro keeps shutting down; usually after Windows loads, but sometimes as Windows is loading. I replaced the power supply and the heatsink but that didn't help. There is no evidence of the problem in Event Viewer and she can successfully boot into Safe Mode. Any help would be appreciated.

1.5 GB of memory
My problem is that my computer will shut off unexpectly when ever I use or do the following:
-Use iTunes to rip a cd
-Use DVD decrypter to encode a movie that is already on my hard drive, the pc will shut down in the middle or near the of the procedure with no warning.
-Use a graphic progam to see the way a room will look after it is painted(Glidden Color Program) and use the magnify button
Use a map editor for a game (Sudden Strike II)
I've had the current configurations and hardware for about 2 years. This problem started about 3 months ago right after I updated the BIOS. I read that that I my motherboard should be capable of USB 2.0 which after the BIOS update it was. Unfortunately, my screen would freeze up and I would have to manually shut the pc off. That problem went away after I went back to the original BIOS version (I still have USB 2.0 working), but was replaced with my new problem replaced it
I reloaded my pc and with only XP installed and tried to see if I could encode a movie. It shut off again. I am stuck. The pc works fine otherwise. My power supply is about 1 year old and is 425 watts. One other thing, when the pc shuts off unexpectely, to get it back on, I have to unplug the power cord for about 10 seconds (I use the light from my mouse to determine when it is ready).

My IE has been closing unexpectedly lately. But it only seems to happen when I'm on the website for my university, which is odd. What happens usually is this:I'll surf to the website (which is http://my.mun.ca) --- it's a web module for students; I use it to access my distance ed courses.I'll click on a link for one of my courses. (Let's say RELS 2811).Then let's say I open the "discussions" page. It opens in a new window, so that obviously, in order to get back to the main RELS 2811 course page, I have to close the "discussions" window by using the X in the right hand top corner.BUT. When I do that, meaning to close ONLY the "discussion" page, IE closes altogether. Which is not what I mean to do. I only want to close the discussion page so I can get back to the main page in order to get to another part of the site.Can this have something to do with XP, or something else? Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening?Thanks!

Hi everyone. I recently received a new laptop from my company. It is a Lenovo X61 running XP with IE 7.0 installed.
here's the problem. Say I am on a newspaper web site. I keep the main browser page open and right click to open a new tab to read a story. This is easier than opening up a story and having to go back to the main page after I read it. After the 7th or 8th time, IE just closes and anything I had in the tabs is gone.
It will also shut down unexpectedly after browsing thru 6 or 7 different web sites.
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it does not fix the problem.
thanks in advance for help.

Bluetooth mouse doesn't work, can't be turned back on as the system doesn't see it unless I restart the system from a complete power off. This is on a Y50 Touch UHD running the new drivers released 03/17/2015, it wouldn't run the headset at all before this update.
hi jjn00711,
Can you try to turn off the power saving feature ("turn off this device to save power) of the bluetooth adapter from the Device Manager > Bluetooth and observe.

Any help appreciated as I haven't a clue what any of this really means so don't want to screw everything up by trying to guess a fix.
So this is happening more when you just leave the PC on and unattended? I'm just suspecting Sleep/Hibernation or one of the hardware devices and mainly either network or usb.
But do run through this guide http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35246 and "attach" in a text file the minidump log as mentioned as just want to see what the faulting file is.
*guide on how to attach a file is in that guide
Also do you have any yellow ! marks in device manager, if so what. If you have external devices (please name them, like printer, external hdd etc) , then unplug them and leave PC on to see if it crashes.

A couple of years ago I inherited my sons A20m laptop and I've been using it to play music from internet radio on Media player through a FM transmitter to my stereo. Lately it shuts down after about an hour, it re boots but down again. I've taken it apart to clean dust and checked the fan but to no avail. Its a A20m 2628 128 mgs Ram 6gb HDD of which I have 3.41 free, Windows 98 SE. Anyone know whats happening or is it time to give up on it. Thanks
Welcome to the forum!I'm very partial towards A20m units, since that was the first ThinkPad I've ever owned...That being said, I would suspect that the motherboard is on its way out from what you're describing.Time to move on.Good luck.6 more replies
My T420S suddenly has turned of (no warning or BSOD).No recorded for this in the Windows Event Viewer.Should I ask for a motherboard replacement? (my dad's T400 once suffered from this issue and it was resolved with a motherboard replacement).BTW: the temperature of the cpu is normall and SMART record of the Seagate HDD is normal.

I am having problems with my desktop computer with Windows 7 32-bit home deluxe booting. I try to power it up and everything goes okay for a while. Eventually the windows logo comes up, but then the computer shuts down without warning. Once this happens, the computer seems mostly unresponsive to a restart using the power button. Press power on does something (some lights come on), but it doesn't even get to the Bios. I have to turn off the power supply then turn it back on. Then when I press power on, the computer tries to boot up again. A couple of days ago when this first happened, upon reboot Windows entered a "startup repair" process. After this, the computer was able to boot. However, trying to boot today is even worse. While Windows is running the startup repair and tries to boot, the computer does the shut down thing again.
I'm not sure if it's a heat issue, as I've tried to boot from room temperature. Mind you, I don't know how long it takes for things to heat up, maybe 30s is all that is needed?
What really confuses me is that I have to cycle the power supply in order to boot again. Maybe there is a simple explanation for that though.
During the startup repair I'm given the option to do a restore, so I'll try that next.
It sounds to me like your power supply or something that connects your motherboard/devices to your power supply is failing. If the computer can't receive power properly then that's definitely the problem. If all the other devices were booting yet certain devices weren't then it could be something else, but since it's everythnig it's probably the power supply.
Depending on what kind of computer you have and how many devices you have you will need a power supply of atleast 350-400 watts or more. If you've built your own computer you'll know what you need, if not, check the rating on your old power supply.
If you don't need anything more than 430 watts, one of these will do nicely:
I have an issue involving an HP 6300 Pro SFF that has been repeatedly and intermittently shutting down, even though several major components have been replaced and the PC has been reimaged. I am wondering what I have missed and am seeking advice on what to try next. Through Self-Maintainer and one-at-a-time we have replaced the motherboard, both RAM modules, the hard drive, and the Power Supply. I have ordered but not yet installed a replacement CPU, even though it tests "Good" through the latest UEFI. Interesting thing about the UEFI test for the motherboard, System board check states "Device not found", but Passes in the log file. This result occurred in the original and the replacement motherboard. I've also remediated in ways that we don't normally have to do, replacing the mouse, keyboard, AC cable, the surge supressor, moved the PC to different locations, tried different AC outlets, putting it on an UPS or not, cleaning the CPU and reapplying thermal paste, reseating the RAM, etc. We have several thousand of these units in our enterprise and just this Wednesday, we received another call at another site where a 6300 Pro SFF was shutting down unexpectedly on the customer. We were immediately directed by the OEM distributor on my unit to fix it through the Self Maintainer Process and that's what I've been attempting to do, but in this most recent case, I sent that one back to the OEM distri...

Hi! My T400 shuts down unexpectedly recently. I don't know what caused it -- this behavior just seemed to start randomly. I went from "Power Saver" to "Balanced," thinking it might be a power problem, but it still happens. Symptoms: One interesting sign is that when I close the lid while I'm plugged in, the moon (sleep) shows up like normal but not without the battery with the + sign still lit up. Then the moon light turns off, followed by the battery with the +. Then when you open the lid, the computer is off, so you have to turn it on again. This occurs less now, but the computer can shut down right while I'm using it. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could figure out why this occurs,Thanks!!!
Hi, Also with this problem is associated:when I try putting the computer to sleep, it shuts down instead and restarts. Is this familiar to anyone? Thanks4 more replies
Okay, so as the title says, my computer has been shutting down unexpectedly every once in a while. Like I will be in the middle of an application, downloading something, or just plain reading something on the internet and my computer will shut down. The monitor will go off completely, but my modem will have the green (on) light on and a constant yellow light which usually means it's processing something or opening a program. It really sucks. Like I have to unplug the power source and re-plug it in to turn my computer back on. I've tried virus scans but nothing comes up so I'm lost. And I'm not sure if it started before or after I connected my new external hard drive, but I'm thinking it was after.
Hello and Welcome to TSF
So it actually is not shutting down completely, you can hear the fans spinning and the hard drive has activity, is this correct?
Possibly overheating, open the case and take some canned air and blow out the dust bunnies. While you have the case open you can boot up the machine and physically look to make sure the fans are spinnning, esp the fan on the cpu
Find the manufacturer of your hard drive and run their Hard Drive Diagnostics Utility.
Look in the Device Manager for any conflicts, yellow question marks or exclamation points
Check the error messages by looking in the Event Viewer and post them back here (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer).
My brand new T410 has shut down twice unexpectedly with no warning whatsoever--there was no blue screen error at all. I haven't been able to find many other posts about the T410 having these problems--I have seen many posts about the T400 doing this--so I'm going to document my efforts at fixing this here in the hopes that it will help others.Some background on my system: I purchased my T410 about a month ago. HARDWARE: Intel Core i5-520m processor 4 GB of RAM Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 5700MHD 250 gb 5400 rpm hard drive 9 cell battery ThinkPad bgn Wireless SOFTWARE: As soon as I got the computer I uninstalled the Windows 7 base, and installed my own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I then installed all drivers through Windows Update. Context of when the problem occurred: Both times I had been surfing the net for a few hours, not doing anything that would tax my system. I was connected to the internet wirelessly, was using the battery to power the system, but I had plenty of power left.
The first thing I did to resolve the problem was google it. There were a few people that said incompatible drivers might cause an issue. I figured I was fine: I run Windows Update religiously, and so I should have all the updated drivers. I then contacted Lenovo Customer Support. I was told that I should install Thinkvantage System Update to see if there were drivers that needed to be installed. I installed it, and it found around five drivers that needed to be updated. I then updated them. That happened last night, and my computer has been running fine since. If I have any more problems, I'll be sure to post them here.9 more replies

i have kaspersky intenet security 2012, and have been dealing with their techs for two months now without resolution. my pc is not overclocked and has not been altered from factory equipment. hp m8000n, vista home premium, amd athlon 64x2 dual core, 2gb sdram pc2-5300. the problem started with sheduled scans on kaspersky not running, stuck at 0 files 1% scanned until manually stoping and restarting the scan. it found a few trojans which i was unable to delete or send to them for analysis. i looked for them by the path name but could not find them to delete manually. they gave me some settings to change for the scans but things just got worse. my email was spamming other people but the emails do not appear in my outbox or sent folder. shortly after this windows started shutting down whenever i ran a full scan. i do not think it was because of the full scan but because the scan takes so long to run it would happen before the scan would complete. i noticed it was only happening when the computer was in use, on the internet or using other programs. i stopped using the internet except to download updates for kaspersky or windows. now the computer shuts down within 1-10 mins of startup, whether in safe mode, safe with command, safe with network, repair windows, last know good config, or normal mode. i have tried system restore which has run through the entire process but after restart it says it did not complete successfully, cpu was not restored to x date/time etc. i have tried al...

Hi Mike.
First of all, do you have any files that you would like to save before we continue?
We will try to delete the virus, but if that fails, we will most likely have to end up re-installing windows.
Do you have a vista installation disk with you; or a USB drive (for the virus removal attempt).
Intel Core2 Duo T7500 @ 2.20 GHz My system has started shutting down at - seemingly - random times. I've been using my laptop to run MCMC simulations in MATLAB, which at times can take several days to complete executing. Additionally, I've had multiple instances of MATLAB running in an attempt to utilize 100% processing time to get results sooner. Obviously, doing this has caused more heat to be dissipated from the machine; however, I would think that as long as things are acting to spec, the system should be fine as far as heat is concerned, so perhaps, my activities arn't a factor in the error I'm reporting. Moreover, I have had the system shutdown when simply browsing the web with little processing power being used. Could this be software related, as its been a couple years since I've reinstalled my operating system? Thanks.
download tpfancontrol and prime95, run them both and check what temperature your CPU and GPU is running at?
If they get over 80 degrees, then you may need to clean out the heatsink, which can be reached by removing the palmrest and keyboard.

I have an IBM thinkpad t30 laptop and all of the sudden it just started turning off unexpectedly. It started doing that a few weeks ago. It began doing it only when I'd use a processor intensive application but now it seems to be doing it at other random moments. I used to be sure it was just overheating but now I am not so sure since, like I said, it even turns off when I'm not doing something necessarily demanding for the cpu and it doesn't really feel that hot. When it shuts off it just does so without going through any motions, just in completely abrupt fashion. The only way I have figured out to turn it back on again is to unplug the power supply (from the computer), wait 5 or 10 seconds then switch it back on. It won't respond unless I unplug it first. Once it's back on I just plug the power supply back in. Anyway, I'd like to see of anyone here can help me diagnose the issue so I can see if it's something I can fix myself or if I'd need to get some expert to look at it. Thanks for any info.

Hel Lenovo please! My R500 ThinkPad, model 2716-CTO keeps shutting down unexpectedly! I have XP SP3. I tried every resolution possible; from the latest windows patches to the latest Lenovo system updates throught the system update utility. Nothing seems to work out. Any clues or hints?
The same happens in my Thinkpad T60. In my case it won't turn on again until I follow these steps:1.- unplug the laptop from the power source2.- remove the battery3.- push the turn on button several times4.- keep the turn on button pushed for several seconds5.- put back the battery (and plug the system again)7.- push the turn on button again. I called the service about this problem. They say it is caused by the static. I am using an antistatic mat but the problem keeps happening.2 more replies

My laptop is fairly new (bought in September 2016) and has started randomly shutting down even if I am only running Netflix or a news site on google chrome. The screen suddenly goes black and everything cuts out all at once like when a house loses power. When I turn it on again, it turns on as it normally does -without any message saying it wasn't shut down properly. This has happened about 5 times in the past week and I'm not sure why as this is only a recent problem. The laptop has not overheated any of the 5 times it has randomly shutdown, so could it be an issue with the software or hardware? It just shut down again as I was typing this up!!!!!
Hi,Is it shutting down only in battery or with AC adapter connected as well? If you haven't tried without the AC adapter connected, try it. You could try a battery reset, instructions are here:http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34843/~/acer-internal-battery-resetYou could also check the memory sticks are seated properly.If that doesn't help, you need to get in touch with Acer Service centre in your region, as it's a new laptop could be a faulty hardware.5 more replies

Hi,i have a big problem with my laptop.After i replaced its motherboard which i bought it from China online,my laptop closes every 2 hours,but without like shutting down on the screen or anything,it just turns off.The guy who replaced the motherboard didn't installed a new windows after,he just replaced it and gave it to me like that.Another thing is that aparrently my hard drive is on 26% health,maybe this could be a reason? but before the new motherboard everything was fine.And now please i need some help because it drives me crazy every 2 hours .And everytime is 2 hours,like it has a timer or something inside and knows when those 2 hours passed.I'm thinking to buy a new hard drive to replace this one,to install a new windows and i'll see after.So any suggestions would help.Thank u
Welcome to the forums droopy1986!
Well, gosh ,don't know where to start..............
1. You replaced the motherboard on the laptop. Are you 100% certain its the right one for your machine? Might explain the HD health thing. Is it a quality board and under warranty? Have you updated the BIO's on it?
2. I don't think a "new" windows will solve anything. A new INSTALLATION, as you say was done should have fixed any software ( O.S.) problems.
On December 10, there was about 20+ windows update. After that day my PC has been shutting off on its own, usually during sleepmode. When it is sleeping at times the keyboard or mouse will not wake up the pc, making me have to manually shut down. I have seeked help from HP and they say it is software related and that my insurance was only for hardware and that I have to pay a whole different bill to get it fixed. I would like to know if there is anyway to get this fixed without giving them more money?

The computer shuts down unexpecedly at least once every time it is used. will not start again unless I plug it into the charger. The battery is often fully charged when this happens. Sometimes if I get it started quickly it will come back on with everything the way it was when it shut down. Other times it boots up, and I have to log in and start it as usual. If I happen to have it plugged in to the charger when I start it I do not have he problem. Of course that is not ideal, I need for it to be portable as it is intended to be. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Twindy91?,Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Spectre x360 shutting down after updating Windows 10. You could try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix any updates that have not come through for Windows 10. Please restart the Notebook twice to make sure all update have been completed! I am seeing that if you change the power plan options to balanced option in the Notebook will help. Here is a link that will help. Go into your power options. Select Balanced and click Change plan settings. Click Change advanced power settings. Then save setting changes. Restart your Notebook and see if the setting options have changed. You could also try: In the Device Manager, click the arrow next to Display Adaptors to expand that categoryRight-click on Graphics and select Update Driver Software if more than 1 Graphics adapter do 1 at a time.Choose the option to Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software.The Notebook should find and automatically install the updated driverAfter the installation is complete, restart your Notebook.Please let me know how this goes.Thanks.4 more replies

Last April, my computer started to shut off unexpectedly and without any warning at all. I would have to hold in the power button for about 30 seconds, let it off, and push it again and it would reboot. It did this for several weeks without warning. Before I knew it, it wouldn't even boot up again. I took it to a local computer guy, who checked it out and told me that the motherboard, hard drive and the memory were all "fried" and that I had to get all new. I did so.
Now, the same exact thing is happening AGAIN! I don't want my computer to "fry" again. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Could this be a cooling issue? I really don't know much about computers, and don't know if I have listed enough information, so please let me know if there is any other info you may need (and how to get it).
I have: an MSI Km2m Combo-L Motherboard (VIA KM266 Chipset)
AMD Athlon XP 2200+ CPU
Maxtor 40gb Hard Drive

Hey, check your Psu, it have to be the problem, what Mobo do you have, and what psu?
Hello everyone. I'm new here and this will be my first post on here. I'm sorry if I have started this post in a wrong thread. I'm unsure of where it should go. Anyways, I'm not a tech expert so that's why I here. I will try my best to describe my problem tho.
First of all, I have been having this problem since last week. The problem is that it just auto shut down on me without any warning.
I thought it was because its overheating/the cpu reached it limits hence why it auto shut, but thats probably not the case.
And since that happened I just thought to myself that I should just reinstall windows. Haha. I thought that would solve my problem. But it didn't.
This crash problem occured when I opened game. I also realised that it happen as well when I browse the internet using firefox. Like after I opened it for a few minutes it then shut down.
However, if I'm not opening anything else and just at the desktop and only transferring files for hours, the crash never happen unlike after I rebooted, went to firefox, then googling stuff and then poof, it crashed. I also checked the cpu too, but its not overworking itself. Its just chilling.... Oh, and I checked it from task manager.
I already tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers and went to surf the internet afterward. No crashes at all. I could watch youtube as well without having it crash on me. But when I reinstalled the driver back. It happened again.
So... I don't know really wha... Read more

I am having a problem with my computer shutting down randomly. I am an engineering student and I run CAD programs on my computer and it irritates me to no end when I am in the middle of working on something and it just shuts off. I talked to someone else about my problem and they said that the CPU is trying to pull too much power from the power supply and so it thinks that it is shorting out, so it shuts off. The only time that it ever shuts off on me is when I am using SolidWorks (CAD program). I keep my Task Manager window open so I can watch and see what it is doing before it shuts off and the CPU is running from 85-100% with only 990Mb of memory used. My computer is about a year old. It is a HP Pavilion dv4000 notebook and has a 1.6 Pentium M and 2Gb of RAM. I don't know what could be wrong. What can I do to fix this?
I plan on upgrading to a new computer hopefully this summer, but until then i need to fix this if possible. Aside from my problem of having to do all of my schoolwork more than 2 or 3 times, who would you recommend me buy a new computer from? I was thinking Dell or Sony... What do you think?
Thank you!
hello & welcome to TSF,
first of all i need you to do this,
now what i need to do is go to your (device manager)
now once there you will want to select from the toolbar of the window(veiw) then a drop down menu / from it you will select (show all hidden devices)
now if you see any (red or yellow) quotation marks , make a note of what they
now go to the (event veiwer) this is thru the (administrator tools) in the control panel
here you will find 3 to 4 subcatagories
you will want to check each of them for this is where windows keeps track of all errors
now you will want to make notes of the errors that have been recorded ( you do not have to make notes of double entries just of the dates of their happenings & how many there is)
you will get more information on the errors if you (right) click them / then select properties
do you have a Windows Xp cd, not the restore cd's that come with some systems, the cd will have the Windows logo & 3D hollowgram/image on it
if you do not maybe you can barrow one from a friend/family member/co-worker as long as it is the same version that is on your system
if you have (Windows XP Home Ed. sp2 ) then the cd will have to be that / if you have a cd with (Windows XP Home Ed. )you will have to slipstream (SP2 ) onto a disk that you create
this also applies to (Windows XP Professsional )

I'm a little frustrated with Lenovo products lately! I recently had an issue with the battery not keeping charge/not reporting the right percentage/instant charge drops/etc. so I sent it out to have it repaired. Recieved it back this morning and now I have another issue! The laptop unexpectedly shuts down while in use whether connected to the adapter or running on it's own battery! Let me remind you...I bought this thing 3 MONTHS AGO! How is it that I'm dealing with all these issues on a brand spanking new laptop????? Now they're recommending I send it back! My old laptop lasted for 8 years without any issues and I spend a few months with Lenovo and all I get is crap! Customer service now says they'll send an email to customer relations to contact me and by previous threads it seems like it's a hit or miss on whether you get a call from them! I have no idea what to do now...I have no time to send this new laptop back and forth!
I have the same problem. I bought my Lenovo Yoga 2 11 20428 less than 2 months ago and this problem started about 10 days ago with increase frequency. A couple of times, 3 or 4 now, the screen also started "running" horizontally and vertically, so the graphics would be "broken" into several black and white small rectangles with the screen image appearing on the back of the black and white rectangles. It is hard to describe, sorry. I just took it to the store to be serviced, they checked the hardware and cleaned it, but say they could not replicate the problem, so they could not send it to Lenovo as per the manufacturer's policy. They say it could be software or I should update drivers. I did update everything that was not updtaed and nothing changed. Here are some notes: - The computer shuts off immediately, no warning, nothing, just immediate black screen.- At first it would restar a few seconds later on its own, but now I have to press to power button to get it back on.- it happens on battery and AC power - Happens when I am running something slightly heavier, such as streaming video, or when I have many internet windows open at once, which should be an issue- system got a little slower some times before I it shut down- the battery is fine, it is brand new and after computer restarts it continues running- does not seem to be overheating, at least I do nto feel the temperature to be hot Appreciate if anyone can help solve...

I'm having trouble with my PC shutting down on me unexpectedly.
This has been a problem for a while now and I have tried some things to fix it but to no avail.
I used to have a 500W power supply where every now and then I would get an error message saying that my video card was not being supplied with enough power (the specs on the video card say it requires a minimum 400W power supply). I did have the PSU connected into the video card via a 6-pin connector. After getting this error message I decided to upgrade my PSU to a 600W power supply, hoping that it would then have enough juice.
It is at this point that although I do not get that error message any longer, my PC will shut down on me at random times.
When I do finally get it to boot again I receive no error message in any of the Event Viewer logs.
I do like to download some pretty big files (from legitimate sites) and often keep my PC on for a day or two at a time. During this time my computer is happy (doesn't shut down or anything) but when I try to start using it again, after about 5 or 6 minutes of use (playing a game, surfing the web etc) it will shutdown as if the power in the house just went out. I do not see any flashing lights and everything appears as normal otherwise. All the fans in my case work just fine and I do not feel a lot of heat coming off the CPU's heatsink. Usually my computer will not successfully boot right after this occurs. Sometimes it quits on the WIndows splash sc... Read more

Best regards,
My computer has been shutting down unexpectedly lately. It started to shut down when I was watching videos at 1.5 speed on VLC player and only then. So I updated my video card driver and VLC player and for a couple of days everything was working fine. Today however, it's shutting down about every 20 minutes or so. I checked Event Viewer but I can't find what the error might be. Nothing new has been installed besides the driver and VLC player update. Here's what I am running:
Win7 Home Premium SP1
i7 2.80gHz
8Gb RAM
I have attached a CPUID Report. Is this a hardware or a software issue? Can anyone please help?
PS I have not been getting a BSOD. It goes from running fine to a black screen as if my monitor was unplugged. My tower is still on so I need to press the power button to shut down.
I am trying to set Win7 to create a minidump as per the instructions here:

However, when I make those settings changes and click on OK, the settings never set. They always revert to my previous settings which are like in the attachment. How can I get my computer to accept the settings?
My HP 250 G3 laptop has been shutting down unexpectedly recently. It all started last friday (26th Feb) when I turned my laptop on at home and the Startup Repair dialog came up saying "Your computer was unable to start" and the status said "Attempting repairs". It seemed like it was stuck there so I shut it down with the power key and turning it back on. I can't remember when the blue screen came up but it was some time after turning my laptop back on. I wasn't able to log in to my laptop again until I selected the "Last Known Good Configuration" option. Until then I've been able to login and use my laptop but it turns off unexpectedly and after logging back in, it says it has recovered from a serious error (or something like that). When I view more details I see "Blue Screen" as the cause. Attached is a zip of the dump files. Hope someone can help.More replies

While playing games or during a 'hard' application my pc shuts down by itself after a few minutes and all this when power plan is set to high performance or balanced. So the only way to run my lap without the fear of shutting unexpectedly down is being in power saver plan something that reduces my pc's performance a lot. I?m running on Vista 32bit home basic, SP1.

PLEASE if anybody have the same problem with me or know any solutions for it or anything PLS PLS PLS let me know .
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, update the BIOS. You can get the latest BIOS from the Toshiba Website.
Secondly, check for dust in the heatsink. You can blow air into the vent to dislodge the dust. But if its really clogged, you may need an ASP to dismantle the laptop and remove the dust.

There are times. however, where i receive a message stating "Failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d)" The computer is also running very slow, but that just may be because of the extensive memroy use. Can you please help me fix this problem so i can finally use my internet? Thanks!
Hi .From this reference, appears to be a RAM problem, http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/143158/application-failed-to-initialize-0xc000012d/But the following was taken from a post by Quietman (one of our most reliable, intelligent contributors):When doing a search on the net for Application Failed To Initialize 0xc000012d, you will find a lot of complaints with various causes and possible solutions.

I have OE running on an XP Media Ctr machine. Pentium D 3Ghz, 1 gig of ram.

I have uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled IE6. I would do a system file check but it wont recognize the recovery disk I have from when I purchased the computer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A recovery disk is not a Windows disk that SFC is expecting to see, but by inference if you have a recovery disk, all the Windows system files will also be on the hard drive, which is where it should be looking, not at the recovery CD.
I've had my laptop for about 2 months and it recently started shutting down. I'm pretty sure its not over heating because it sometimes happen when I'm not using it and it just on the desktop although i have checked the fans/vents and only the top right one seems to pumping out air.
Oh and about 5 minutes before it shuts down it starts to run extremely slow.
At risk of being obvious, it sounds a bit like malware - have you had chance to scan it? (or is it off too much)
Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for anyone who try helping me.
Here is my problem:
every 5 to 15 min, one of the 2 events occures:
1. My screen shuts down for no reason (the yellow light turns into orange), but my computer is still working (i can still work on it "blind").
this is the rare event.
2. This is what usually happens: The computer shuts down completly.
when i turn it on again, some times it turns on but the screen is still off (like in the event number 1), and sometimes it goes on ok, until the next time it gets off for no reason.
If i wait some hours after it get shuts down, i can use it for longer time until it gets off, but if i turn it on a few seconds after it gets off, i can only work for a few minutes until it gets off again.
I'm learning in a university and i have a big test in a week from now, so its kinda urgent for me..
Thanks alot, Liran.

Cooks & Cocinas: Former teacher combines passions
Cooking isn't rocket science, says a teacher who is passionate about good food and helping others learn to make meals.
Who's cooking: Amy Sokol, a former elementary school teacher who combined her love of cooking, nutrition and teaching into a business, Cooking with Care. She and husband David, who owns a Web design and hosting company, are empty nesters with two daughters in college.
Amy is on hiatus until late summer from the cooking classes she teaches in her home as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer.
What's cooking: "My favorite thing to do is create the perfect meal," said Amy, whose menus often are inspired by travel. After visiting Spain, she mastered paella. While dreaming of a Mediterranean cruise, she created a menu with dishes inspired by Greece, Italy and France.
Amy likes simple foods with bold flavors, and she likes creating something out of nothing. She recalls how her daughter summed it up: "We have no food in the house, only ingredients." But, said Amy, "I can make you anything you want."
She stresses that she's not a gourmet cook, just someone who enjoys reading recipes and learning the science behind what makes them work.
When hosting dinner parties, she likes foods she can prepare and assemble when guests arrive. That leaves the kitchen clean and the cook relaxed.
David helps with prep work and cleanup.
Room to indulge: "French fries in a French restaurant with mussels? Always worth it. French fries at a fast-food restaurant? Never worth it. That's my philosophy of eating."
She follows an 80-20 rule to keep fit without giving up rich food. Eighty percent of the time she makes healthy choices so "20 percent of the time it doesn't matter if I have a big slice of delicious homemade cake or wine and cheese."
Bottom line: She loves food. "I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and in the middle of the night thinking about food," she said. Even with her taste buds off-kilter because of chemotherapy, food is never far from her mind. Now, she's craving avocados and citrus, so she sent her clients recipes for avocado toast and citrus salad.
In this kitchen: When the Sokols built their house in Summerfield in 1997, Amy wanted a spacious kitchen open to the family room. "It must have been fate" that the wrap-around bar focused on the island cooktop in the center, making it ideal for the cooking classes she began teaching in 2003.
After 10 years in the house, Amy began making changes to the kitchen. The final piece of the update puzzle, she said, is changing out the fluorescent light fixture over the island.
The space: The 14-by-13-foot kitchen looks into the living room and a spacious breakfast area, where the Sokols often enjoy hour-long meals and conversation, something they did even when their daughters were in school. "This is literally and figuratively the center of my home," Amy said. "We all spend time in the kitchen."
On the surfaces: The island is topped in Antique Gold Silestone, which she likes because it stands up to strong cleaners. Madura Gold granite on the bar and perimeter counters and walls of Sherwin-Williams' Ceremonial Gold reflect the warm theme.
Tumbled marble on the backsplash brings in an organic texture. It's accented with glass tile insets, a $50 investment that required a lot of hands-on time from Amy and her daughters. When the glass tiles arrived, many were broken and the three sat and picked through the shards of glass to salvage enough pieces for the project. Now they see the different patterns in the tiles that are marbled with crisp shades of gold, green and brown.
Decorative painter Cheryl Martinez of Creative Painting has added faux touches such as vining bougainvillea and stone trim.
Why it works: The kitchen has enough space for more than one cook, and guests or students can watch as Amy cooks. With the cooktop island in the center, it's the focal point. "There's not a bad seat in the house," she said.
When double ovens are full, a convection toaster oven serves as a third oven.
Ample storage space — including a craft closet she has converted into storage for cookware — gives her room to store everything but the small appliances she uses most.

Researchers show how new viruses evolve, and in some cases, become deadly
30 January 2012
Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) have demonstrated how a new virus evolves, shedding light on how easy it can be for diseases to gain dangerous mutations. The findings appear in the current issue of the journal Science.
The scientists showed for the first time how the virus called "Lambda" evolved to find a new way to attack host cells, an innovation that took four mutations to accomplish.
This virus infects bacteria, in particular the common E. coli bacterium. Lambda isn't dangerous to humans, but this research demonstrated how viruses evolve complex and potentially deadly new traits, noted Justin Meyer, MSU graduate student, who co-authored the paper with Richard Lenski, MSU Hannah Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics.
"We were surprised at first to see Lambda evolve this new function, this ability to attack and enter the cell through a new receptor - and it happened so fast," Meyer said. "But when we re-ran the evolution experiment, we saw the same thing happen over and over."
This paper follows recent news that scientists in the United States and the Netherlands produced a deadly version of bird flu.
Even though bird flu is a mere five mutations away from becoming transmissible between humans, it's highly unlikely the virus could naturally obtain all of the beneficial mutations at once. However, it might evolve sequentially, gaining benefits one-by-one, if conditions are favorable at each step, Meyer added.
Through research conducted at Beacon, MSU's National Science Foundation Centre for the Study of Evolution in Action, Meyer and his colleagues' ability to duplicate the results implied that adaptation by natural selection, or survival of the fittest, had an important role in the virus' evolution.

text: On Saturday afternoon, we drove to Heartland Park in Topeka for the Heartland Park Grand Prix Cyclo Cross Race. This race is an annual event put on by Jeff Unruh from the Sunflower State Games. This is truly a unique event. A bicycle race at an auto race track. The track is not cement, but dirt. The entire route was illuminated for a nighttime race. The course was fast, but challenging. Riders rode the track to the infield. Multiple turns in the infield were followed back to the track and around the perimeter of the stands. One run up was so extreme that many of the racers were forced to walk it. The course included two sets of stairs the riders had to dismount and run. It also included a set of barriers. This was a carnival atmosphere. Francis Sheehan raced juniors placing fourth. Brendan Sheehan raced masters 40+ taking 18th. Gene Lamb raced men's category 4 placing 19th. Great job by all who raced. The next race we will go to is the Lost Trail Cross in Louisburg, Kan. in two weeks.
