A305-S6845 Running Way Too Hot and Shutting Down

Greetings! Has anyone else had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite running so hot that it shuts down all by itself at least once per day? That is what mine is doing. The fan seems to be running fine and there is no dust or anything like that in the way.
How can I cool this thing down? Around 60 minutes after startup, it is so hot that it is uncomfortable on my palms to use it. It will normally run super hot like that for several hours and then shut down automatically, presumably to keep itself from melting or something.
Thanks in advance!

Could be hair and lint in the processor heatsink or perhaps the thermal compound between the heatsink and processor has dried out.
Have it serviced by a competent shop. If you are feeling brave, DIY following the instructions here:

My Satellite A660-11M is getting hot, and shut down

Hello !
(sorry for my english)
I have problem with my computer.
When I'm playing computer games or when I save movie created in Sony Vegas or Windows Movie Maker, my Toshiba is getting hot, and shut down.
I don't know the reason.
I saw that, wnen CPU is 50% of use (saving movie in Movie Maker) the computer will shut down about 5 min from start to save.
I bought this computer in UK in august. I did't format it for 7 months.
What can I do ?
Maybe open and clean the fan ?
Will I lost my warranty, when I only open it and clen ?

Barrie :
I usually use my computer on knees, but wneh I put in on desk the effect it that same...
cooling vents free, not blocked.
C3PO:
I use original drivers from nvidia.com I download the latest and install.
When I used my computer 5 months ago, I did't get this problem.
notebook was getting hot about 3 months ago ?
first. When I played game "Mafia2". about 30 minutes playing and computer shutdown.
Now when I'm playing Call of Duty Black Ops or doing something when CPU use is 50% it getting hot next shutdown.

My iPhone 4 was run over at work worked fine for 5 days then got really hot and shut down. I can not get it to power back up. I have photos that were not backed up is there anyway that I can retrieve my photos from the phone?

MY iPhone 4 was run over at work by a forklift the screen was badly cracked but other than that worked fine for 6 days. Then it got really hot while charging and shut down and will not power back up. I have photos on this phone that we're not backed up to I cloud is there any way to retrieve my photos from this phone?

No. You probably should have backed it up while it was working during those 6 days...

660ti running way too hot.

I recently ordered a MSI N660 Ti PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB for a new computer I built. I downloaded a couple of temperature monitor programs and noticed that the GPU temp was getting as high as 80-85c under full load. Idle it's around 32c. This seems like it's way too hot. Even though it's brand new I used a can of compressed air to try to clean out any dust, which didn't help.
Any help would be appreciated, I'd really like to get back to playing games without fear of melting my GPU.

That is not way too hot as it's max temp specified for is 97°C: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660ti/specifications
Also only use Afterburner to monitor temps of your PE (best with OSD): >How to use MSI Afterburner<
Check with running Kombustor out of Afterburner and if card does not exceed 90°C you are fine with any game.

Tiger running way too hot

Hello,
Fan/Cooling Issue
Since upgrading from Panther to Tiger the cooling fan runs nearly continuously. It may rest for about a minute then it begins running again. The CPU speed is sent on 'Automatic'. If I set it to 'Reduced' it runs way to slow, which should be expected. However, with Panther I never had this problem: when set on 'Reduced' I rarely heard the fan. It appears that Tiger does not recognize 'Automatic' but only acknowledges 'Highest' and 'Reduced' CPU settings. This is needless wear and tear on my PB and am not happy about this at all.
Folder Fragmented Names
Folder names longer than one line are also an issue. The second line is never clearly seen and when the folder is moved, part of the second line text is left behind. Never had this problem with Panther either.
For my purposes, Tiger is no improvement over Panther. If I could get my money back and return to Panther, I would.

I'm back.
All of the Desktop icons are back. The 'Delocalizer' icon is now gone as well. That's a strange one because I trashed that file when I was finished using it yesterday.
This may help your diagnosis. When I installed Tiger, it failed to preserve my Admin name and password but came up with 'Administrator (root)' which did not look good at all. I called Applecare and he said that was a very bad omen and to re-install Tiger which I did. However, when the log-in screen appears, the strange 'Other' appears together with my name. The 'Other' has an blue icon with planets in it. I've never seen this before, so perhaps this is a new Tiger icon which should really belong to the Administrtor - me - rather that to 'Other'. All of this makes me uneasy. I just experienced an OS crash in March which Bee (and others) helped me through for which I am very grateful. However, it appears that this PB is still not completly recovered.
I am now burning a DVD and then, come what may. I would be much happier just to re-initialize my HD and start fresh again.
There has to be some corrupt files or conditions which are carried forward from upgrade to upgrade and continue to plague this computer.
I just tried to use Apple's Backup which I've used sucessfuly before, and it failed: 'Failed backup on May 19, 2006 at 9:55 AM'.
What next?

Half way through update and shuts down?

My mac gets half way through an update and then shuts down, suggestions anyone?

Hi WSMW,
If you are having issues with an OS X update, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article (it specifies 10.6 and earlier, but the steps should be similar for all OS updates):

Random Reboots, way too hot and rapid battery drain...

This is by far the worst phone i ever had. I got the phone a couple a days a go, no apps installed and turned off WIFI, NFC, and BT. Still, the battery lasts for max 4 hours, and thats standby. I also does random reboots and it's pretty warm until I completly shut it down. About 39 degrees celsius. There is no availible update for the phone. I've done several factory resets, but nothing seems to work. Where is the Blackberry support lines for Norway ? I havn't been able to locate any norwegian suport what so ever.. This is too bad for a company like RIM. I'll tell you what. I'll return this crappy piece of **bleep**t first thing in the morning on monday, and I'll never buy a Blackberry again. I cannot sit and wait for a update. I expect the phone to work nice out of the box, and this phone doesnt. I'll buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 instead.

Yes, I got the phone a couple a days ago, and due to non-working entrerprise-activation, I've done a couple of resets. Finaly I got the enterprise-functions up and running, but now I have all other sort of problemes.
And why would I cause all syncing ? I just sit back and watch the battery meter run low. I don't even use it for nothing.
You said "several factory resets, not a couple. Make up your mind.
tidyboy0558 wrote:
I cannot call Telenor for blackberry support. Thing are a little different in Norway.
"things" are not different in Norway. The "thing" is that you are paying Telnor for support and you aren't getting it. You need to demand that they escalate your issues to BlackBerry Technical support. With your monthly service you are paying them for support.
tidyboy0558 wrote:
About the OS update, when I try to update OTA,the phone keeps on saying that there is no update availible...
Please, don't waste your time, if you feel like that. I'll return the device anyway. I'm complaining because the device does not meet my expectations, ether the product spesifications, and RIM does not offer ANY kind of support in Norway, even they selling their products here. Hopefully someone at RIM will read this.
Again, please don't waste your time.
lol, why are YOU wasting your time coming here to whine and complain about something you have no idea what you're speaking of?

My laptop heats up and shuts down

I bought my laptop in US and am using the same adapter. Maybe this is the reason, but I'm seriosly worried as my laptop after an hour of use becomes very hot and shuts down. I don't know what the problem really is, but lately, it seems to shut down even quickly.
I thought the fans might not be working, but they were when I looked at them. It's happened from the brand new, and I've used it like that for six months now. But since the problem's become worst, I thought of asking for help here. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you.

HI Shalav,
Your notebook will most likely be using a 'universal' mains adapter so it will work perfectly well in the UK as well as the US.
Your problem is most likely to be a build up of dust in the CPU heat-sink which will reduce its effectiveness to the point where the build up of heat causes the thermal protection circuitry to opertae and shut off power.
Clean out any accumulation of dust and also make sure that there is sufficient air able to circulate through the cooling system. Leave plenty of spoace around and under your notebook.
regards,

Mac Mini LED blinks and shuts down at startup, takes 2-3 tries to boot...

I have a Mac Mini PPC 1.42GHz. When i boot it up after non-use (cold), the LED blinks once per second and it boots all the way into MacOS and shuts down several seconds later. It will usually do the same thing the second time around. On third boot its usually fine. Not thinking its related, I have reinstalled MacOS anyways. No good...
Thanks,
Rich

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The flashing LED is usually indicative of a power-on self test failure, normally leading to the system failing to boot at all. Once per second would indicate the system fails to recognize available RAM.
The fact this happens when the system is cold (with an implication that it doesn't happen when the system is warm) might indicate the RAM module is no longer firmly inserted, or that the contact face on the pins has oxidized slightly. In this situation, I'd begin by opening the system and removing and then reseating the RAM - in the G4 minis this is relatively easy since there is only one RAM slot, and it is exposed with just the top of the casing removed.

I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from?

Thank you for any help!

Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.
