Audigy 2 zs Notebook Shutting Off Displa

Has anyone ever heard of--or encountered--this problem? I have a Dell Inspiron 900, mainboard not blacklisted; in fact, the card worked fine until recently. At first I thought my laptop was experiencing thermal shutdown, since it looked "off" (hey, small "pop" and black display--first thing you think is the sucker just shut down instantly).
I have tried everything I can think of, incluiding reinstalling O/S, looking everywhere for updated drivers, and the list goes on--so long, it makes my head hurt.
If I put the card in my computer's PCMCIA slot with no installed software, nothing happens (of course). My point here is the monitor stays on.
As soon as I try to set up the software, just as it's installing the drivers (I assume), bam! No display.
The onboard graphics card is a Radeon Mobility 9700, 28 mb; the PCMCIA is TI-450. Intel chipset, 865 series.
I installed Speedfan and the laptop doesn't go above 60 degrees C, when running CPU intensi've applications, which is supposed to be normal for the P-4 Prescott processor.
Does anyone--anyone!!--have any clue as to what's going on?
I can't tell if it's a software or hardware problem. Why did it work, and then stop? If it's a hardware issue, I don't understand why the problem doesn't appear until I install the Audigy software....
The card was a birthday gift fi've months ago, and I haven't got a receipt, so I'm probably hosed if this IS a hardware malfunction.
Creative tech support doesn't seem to have any clue.
I'm hoping one of you out there does!
Thanks,
Cecilia

? A soundfont cannot contain alle drumkits, and it is not nessecary at all. I dont know a soundfont bank wich contains a complete set of drumkits, too. There are only some soundfonts like the crysis soundfont (to big for its "bad" quality) wich have some dummy-drumkits/ entrys or slightly modified sounds for each than usual. If all drumnkits would be stored in high-quality, the soundfont would be huge... Every synth i know uses the standard drumkit, if the chosen one is not existent. This is not optimal, but it will guarantee, that the the MIDI file or Program/ game will work. The KXDrivers wont do this. SO they are not useable for General MIDI. Only for MIDIs and soundfonts fitting together. But thats not the point of General MIDI. CMSS isnt working with these drivers, too. Dolby decoding/ encoding isnt possible with them, either. These drivers are not bad, but if you want a completely working card, KXdrivers are worthless.

HP 1000 notebook shuts off in every 30 minutes

i've been experiencing a very weird problem in my hp 1000-1405TU notebook. My
notebook shuts down - not the "windows is shutting down" type, but immediate loos of power shut down. I thought it was shutting down because it was overheating, to eliminate the overheating option i installed SpeedFan and in some cases (idling, music, movies) temperature was about 50-60 Deg C. but i cleaned it with compressed air just in case. I thought it might be a virus (even though i have antivirus program), so i tried booting up in safe mode - same effect, tried leaving it in BIOS - same effect but then i noticed it is shutting down exactly 30 minutes after powering up. doesn't matter if i'm playing games, watching movies, listening to music or letting it idle - at 30min. mark it just powers off. i tested it on battery power, on main supply with and without battery - the effect is always the same. Hard Disk test - PASSED Memory Test - PASSED Battery Test - PASSED need help very badly

Notebook shut off wont turn back on after battery tapped

I purchased 3 notebooks all are doing the same thing. If you set the down on any surface they shut off. One of them will not turn back on. I have switched batteries and charging cords. I don't see it as a recall but it's strange that all 3 are doing the exact same thing. Power cord when plugged in has a white light but no screen will turn on. Tried 2 different batteries and 2 power cords. I have tried just plugging in no battery only power cord and holding down power button, no change.I bought these last November 2014, I never had this problem will my Dell comouters. Anyone have any suggestions?? Very frustrated! These computers are barely used and don't leave the house, they are not abused.

Notebook shuts off while charging

hello, this is my first time posting. i have a HP special edition L2000/L2005CU. im having problems with charging my notebook while its on, it will shut off after about 10 mins of charging but the battery can be fully charged after it is shut off. i also tried to use only the AC power without the battery installed and still the same result. i have noticed my fan does not turn on, would charging it cause the thermal protection to shut off only while charging? Any advice would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
Eddie

It won't hurt the battery in general but I like to keep it on the ac adapter when ever I can since using it off battery will use up battery cycles.

Pavilion dv7-3165dx Notebook shuts off @30% power

I purchased this laptop that I love and runs amazingly but started having a problem when the power isn't plugged in and running on battery. If the power goes down to 30% it just shuts off as if I had been pressing the power button! I checked the corresponding power options and is set to "Do nothing" when power level reaches critical and critical is set to 7%. For some reason the computer just overrides my settings and powers off at 30% charge level. I have left power management to hp recommended settings (Original) and have not tempered with anything else. Any ideas on how to resolve what appears to be a software issue as it is too much of a coincidence that it is precisely at 30% that it powers off and I'm afraid it will shorten the life of my HDD!!!

Now it's happening at 50%!!! It just shuts off at exactly 50% power and am just frustrated out of my mind. I have restored to HP recommended and made sure the pc does nothing if power is under 7%. I am out of iddeas please help

Notebook shuts off when powering up

I am unable to get my computer to power up. It starts to load on a white screen and then shuts down. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

an educated assumtion is telling me that the initial inpact made some connector/wire or hardware loose or made it move causing a short everytime pressure is applied to the affected area.

Since Win 8.1 update Satellite C855-2HW shuts off

Greetings,
Well, June 2013 I bought my Satellite C855-2HW with Windows 8 as operating system.
The notebook worked smooth until in December 2013 I got Windows 8.1 updates.
Since then every day (sometimes several times a day) the notebook shuts off, the Automatic Recovery feature of Windows is initiated and the message 'Windows couldn't be started as it should, a system recovery is necessary.' pops up.
I've got this problem now for four weeks now and every time I have to install some software since the system is set to a previous recovery point.
I hope someone can help me get rid of this problem.
My sincere thanks in advance.
Stefan

Hi
It would be interesting to know how you installed / upgraded to Win 8.1 system.
Did you follow the Toshiba step by step instruction in order to update the Win 8.1 properly?
I mean this instruction:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/
I did it with my Toshiba notebook and I must say: no problems until now
Additionally you should not forget to install/update the Win 8.1 drivers provided by Toshiba
On Toshiba EU driver page (Win 8.1 update) you will find the installation instruction for Win 8.1 drivers. It shows you the drivers and tools which need to be removed, updated or installed again.
Im sure the notebook would run properly in case the Win 8.1 update would be done properly.

My Satellite L500 suddenly shuts off

Hi all!
I need help!!! my computer suddenly shuts off and I have no idea why!!!
TOSHIBA L500-22R

Beside the tests mentioned by Macius I guess the notebook shuts OFF due to high internal temperature.
Some background info: the notebook supports some kind of overheating protection. In case the temperature increase to a higher level, this protection prevents the hardware from damage.
I dont know how old your notebook is but I guess you never cleaned the cooling ventilators.
This should be done from time to time because the dust could affect the cooling performance.
Clean the fans and cooling grilles using a compressed air spray. Such air sprays can be ordered online or purchased from common computer dealers.

Satellite P10 - Notebook suddenly shuts off during application

My Satellite P10 has a problem since about 1 month. During several applications (for example games) it shuts off suddenly, without any message or comparable warning.
Is it possible, that it's getting to hot?
It worked without any problem for over a half year!
Could it be, that there's only some dirt in the ventilation? And can I clean it myself without any problems?
If I had a PC I would just open and clean it. But this is my first notebook and I don't have too much experience with the intereor of it.

HI there,
I normally clean any dust from my A30 on a weekly basis, either by blowing through the outlet vents on the back of the notepad, or by using a domestic vacuium cleaner hose on the fan intake grills oin the bottom of the unit. This avoids having to remove the CPU heat sink which may invalidate your warranty.
I also make sure that the notepad is never placed directly onto carpets or cushions or other soft surfaces since this will either block the air intakes or provide a ready source of dust and debris which will get sucked into the unit.
There is a setting in the Device Manager to enable the cooling to be set for 'maximum performance' or 'Minimum noise'. The effect of the former is to allow the CPU to run at maximum speed (which may involve the fans running at their maximum, whereas the latter will cause the CPU to slow down when it is getting too hot thereby allowing the fans to run much more slowly. I believe the post from 'Heaven' related to a fauly chip on the mother-board which was making the fans run permanently.

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and a stupid, stupid frie

A couple of days ago a friend of mine decided to press the PCMCIA card eject button. I told him not to do this, but he's an idiot. So he presses it, and the card pops out. After this, my laptop freezes, and I have to do a "hard" shutdown. I boot it back up, and now the speakers no longer work with the Audigy. If I shut the computer down then start it up without the card in a PCMCIA slot, the speakers work fine, except with the less-than-stellar sound quality. When I use the HPJ (Headphone jack) in the card, the headphones work fine. Now, this isn't any great inconvenience for me, but I would like to resolve it, because I don't enjoy having to use my headphones when I want to listen my music. And not using the card with my speakers isn't an option. It sounds like crap without it.
Any help it greatly appreciated.

OK, thank you for the information. More than likely something has gone wrong with your Windows registry. Rather than delve into that, I would suggest that you go back into Device Manager, and 'Uninstall' you 'On Board' sound card, and reboot your machine. While the notebook is off, remove the PCMCIA card, and this will force the OS to reinstall the on board sound into Device Manager and hopefully the registry as well. Once this is done, you should see a return of your on board sound card's functions and be able to hear you on board speakers.
Please note, that it may take a secondary boot prior to hearing your on board sound card kick in. Simply 'Uninstall' the on board sound (and have the 'Drivers and Applications' CD/DVD from your notebook at hand... and the OS installation disc too), reboot then when the system logs back on it should reinstall the on board sound. It may ask you for the drivers CD/DVD and the OS CD/DVD during this process. That is why I suggested that you have it there when you start. Once this is complete, you should reboot and when your system comes back up you should have sound in your notebook's speakers.
If not, leave a message. There is one instance, I can think of, where you would successfully reinstall the on board sound (and it's system registry entries) and the sound NOT come from your speakers.

Has anyone had their screen on a macbook pro shut off randomly?

Hey,
Recently I have encountered a problem on my MBP (mid 2010). So, I know that a computer can only operate in a high temperature for so long. I understand that.
I play WOW a lot. I know for a fact that my computer's temperature goes from a normal temperature range of around 35 Celsius to about 45 to a higher temperature range of 55 to at its highest 80 Celsius.
I use smcfancontrol and I keep my MBP on top of a cooling fan. The cooling fan I use is Antec Unbeatable Notebook Cooler 200. I like this cooling fan. The numbers above were estimated off of smcfancontrol’s interface.
Yesterday, after I stop playing WOW, my screen goes black complete randomly. I was using my computer immediately before this screen went black, so the screen should not have shut off from inactivity to sleep. My computer has full battery life and was on charge. I also know that my computer’s battery is about 90% health based on istat nano widget.
I previously had a PC laptop that had its monitor shut off and never come back, so that’s why I bought my current MBP. I was selling my PC lapto for its parts. But I accidently found that the computer screen still worked probably because a wire wiggled the out of place. But MBP are more integrated with the hardware than a PC laptop is.
Has anyone else have this happen to them or has something similar happened?

If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

Computer shuts off when unplugged, resets internal clock

I have been having an issue lately with my mid 2009 MBP 13in where occasionally if the magsafe adapter is removed from the notebook, it will suddenly shut off. After about a minute, I am able to start it up again and it will be on battery power until I reset the SMC. When it does load up OSX, the internal clock is reset to some date in 2001 and I have to manually change it back to the present for everything to play nice again. It's been pretty annoying at times and I have no idea what would cause the computer to act up so sporadically. I can't recreate the problem on command, it just happens when I least expect it. The battery is fine as Coconutbattery shows a life of about 89% still. Does anyone have any idea what and why this occurs?

Remove the battery and inspect for any abnormalities. Check the contacts on both the battery and the computer. Also check your battery status under Apple Menu> About This Mac. Click on More Info and then the System Profiler will come up. In the left hand column select Power and see what your battery status is there compared to what Coconut battery said.

MB Pro shuts off at around 85% battery power.

I've been using the power adapter pretty much all the time with my MBP but now that I've been using it on battery power it has automatically shut off at around 85% battery power. I haven't always had the battery in while using the charger but for the last year I have. I'm not sure if that has any relevance.

Actually, it IS within the specification +for battery health+, which is what I stated above. Apple states, +"A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles."+ This is based on the reading for Full Charge Capacity in System Profiler. BGTD's full charge capacity is 5081 mAh, and the nominal new full charge capacity of a 15" MBP battery is 5500 mAh (rounded down, the calculated value is actually 5556 mAh). Even of the OP has a 17" MBP, the battery is still within health (though barely so - the denominator for a 17" MBP battery is 6300 mAh.
So, despite having an acceptable capacity (i.e., 'health'), the OP's MBP is shutting down with only 15% of the capacity used. As I stated, that's a symptom of a faulty battery.
Furthermore, you are also incorrect when you state, +"if your MBP is over 1 year old, Apple will NOT replace your battery."+ You can certainly state that Apple did not replace your battery free of charge, and I'm sorry for that! On the other hand, my health dropped suddenly to ~60% when my MBP was 16 months old. I +do not+ have AppleCare, and despite that, the Genius Bar replaced my battery for free. The page that I linked to (the top link) states, +"This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers."+ I also pointed out that I am aware of Apple having replaced (for free) batteries of users with Core 2 Duo MBPs under the same program.
As I stated, the best bet is for the BGTD is to visit an Apple Store or call AppleCare and request a replacement battery, based on the information above. The answer may be "no," but I'd argue that it's worth a little effort to try and save US$130, given that there are known and Apple-acknowledged issues with some notebook batteries.

HP DV6-6B25TX shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power

Hi,
MY DV6-6B25TX is shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power.
Following is the complete scenario of what happened during the last few weeks:-
Two weeks back i was using the laptop with the AC adaptor plugged in for charging, the battery got charged upto 99% then it stopped charging and the battery icon text displayed, 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
A week back the battery was 20 %, after plugging in the charger, still the same message 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
Now the laptop doesnt respond to the power key when the battery is inserted.
If i remove the battery and again put it back, it starts without pushing the power button and shuts off after 10 seconds, i.e. even before starting Windows.
It shuts down even when on Bios Screen, so OS is definately not the issue.
When i connect the charger and press the power button, same thing i.e. starts and shutts off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of BIOS screen or Windows Boot.
I removed the ram and but it back again but still the problem persists.
Also there is no question of overheating due to dust as i have barely used the laptop for a few hours, the laptop is around 6 months old and under warranty.
Please Advice ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.
This question was solved.

Honestly, something is preventing the battery from being charged. The notebook shutting down seconds after reinserting the battery is a good indication the battery just isn't getting charged. This could be a failed battery, charger, charging port, or motherboard in rare instances.
Since it is in warranty, I recommend contacting HP support as there is no easy fix for this on the forums. It is a hardware issue.
The number for support in the U.S.A. and Canada is 1-800-474-6836.

Re: Satellite P300 just shutting off

My dad got a Satellite P300 on sunday (22nd June). It worked fine on Sunday afternoon but since Monday night it keeps just shutting off without warning. I can't figure out anything that it could be. There's no pattern to it shutting down sometimes it's after 20mins sometimes after 2.
Any ideas other than to just take it back - which I can't see him taking lightly because he's only used it for a few hours Sunday/Monday!

Hello
For me it sounds like overheating issue and I do not believe you can do anything about it.
Try to test it with two different situations. At first test it without some graphic intensively applications like Word or just using browser.
Test it also playing some game. It will be interesting to know when the notebook switches OFF in both situations.
If the problem persists I recommend you to contact your local dealer or nearest authorized service provider. They have special application and then can set notebook to work under pressure and see if the notebook switches OFF because of too high hardware temperature.
