Blackbook shuts down while booting up

So I buy a new Macbook a few weeks ago (three days before the upgrade, ha!) and while very pleased with the new machine I just started experiencing something very troublesome. After using it in target to disk mode the Macbook can't complete it's boot sequence. After starting up and displaying the apple icon, the 'book suddenly shuts off. What gives? Pressing option at startup will have it sit for any length of time in the select drive menu, but to complete the boot up it shuts off.
worried,
m

m,
i'm not really that technical but when D.U can't repair the disk, Archive and Install preserve user settings is not permitted as well.
although i am surprised you target disk mode the computer to a pc. haven't tried that. will try to do it myself and see if my HD encounters the same issue. will post results after.

  • Computer shuts down while booting

    I can't seem to find this exact problem, so here goes.
    I have an iMac G5 (July 2005), the model right before they released the iSight model.  It has been working like a champ for 6 years now!  However, last night it just powered off for no reason.  You would hit the power, it would start booting, getting to different points in the boot sequence, then just power of.  So the next thing I did was take the back off and look at the LEDs.  LED1 was lit fine.  I then started the boot sequence.. LED2 came on fine.. then LED3 came on fine.. LED4 stayed off.. Then eventually the machine would just power off again, no explanation.
    I've taken the power supply out, looked at all the capacitors, none are bulging or brown.. Nothing on the mainboard with any defects.. Both fans are dust free and spinning fine.  I've unhooked the harddrive and just tried booting from the CD, same power off at a random point.. The display looks fine.. gives me the apple logo.. spinning wheel.. sometimes it gets all the way to the login screen.. most of the time it doesn't.
    Sounds to me like an overheating issue, although I can't figure out what could be overheating..cpu? graphics chip? power supply?
    I've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMU, no changes.
    Anyone have any ideas before I throw this in the trash and make my wife sad?
    Thanks!

    You seem to have covered all the bases, the only thing I can think of is a faulty connection or the heat sink thermal paste has dried out.

  • Mac shuts down after boot. Is it the logic board?

    mac shuts down after boot. Doesn't go beyond gray screen with apple.  Is it the logic board?
    I do not have the start up disks to safe boot or check the hardware.
    Any ideas what the problem is or is it junk?  It is 8 years old.

      Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
    is being checked.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    I'd let the machine sit for awhile in open firmware & see if it stays alive.  Do a few prints.
    Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

  • N200 shuts down during boot

    Dear Lenovo,
    I have a problem with my N200 laptop. Notebook shuts down during boot. Sometimes it is immediately after "Lenovo screen", sometimes it is when Vista logo appears. I found out that this is always when notebook is "cold". It does't matter if I want to switch on my notebook or if I want to restore it from hibernation or sleep mode. Next thing is that it always crashes when fan starts work at full tilt (I checked the fan but it is clear). When notebook starts correctly then it works without problems. Usually I have to switch it on about three times then it is OK. This problem takes about 2 weeks. I have my laptop about 7 month. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
    And another thing - I forget to send registration card to Lenovo and now I am afraid that I will be without warranty. Can I send it still now?
    Thank you for answer and sorry for my English.
    Gabi

    Yes, problem with the video card sounds plausible! Any not so successful updates recently? It is sometimes to make a good uninstall, which is required to make a good install.
    4in1 drivers should - esp. with W98 and ME - be installed while in SafeMode and with all autostarting programs disabled, for example Antivirus and utilities.
    Else, since you have a damaged regedit, I would reinstall Windows. You might have done something for example an upgrade or new install the registry, not healthy, has made a note of. Some utilities also overwrite and change system files without good results.

    See case #188305. There is not a whole lot of information there and we really don't like to reproduce this.
    If it happens again we will add more info to the case. In the log file we have seen 'class not found' for
    weblogic.utils.... classes before it shuts down. Boot it again under no load and it comes up fine.
    Mike.

    Hmm.. that's interesting.
    What version of WLS, SP-level? what 's the avg load that you are putting on WLS? Is it in a clustered environment? what
    the min/max heap size, executeThreadCount etc...
    Any other details that you can provide us would be helpful for us to debug further.

  • Potential Args, Computer shutting down while playing a game

    I've only had this mac for 5 months, but it keeps shutting down while I'm playing StarCraft II. It should be able to handle the game, but it keeps telling me to restart and I have no idea what the error says or means. I'm not sure what (4 potential args on stack) means. I'm not sure if it is a frame rate issue and how to fix it or change the frame rate if needed. Any help would be much appreciated. The error is below:

    You are only just beginning to feel the pain of Starcraft II on your Mac. Have you seen this List of problems?
    Blizzard created the junk, and it's up to them to properly patch it. The list of other well known and respected programs it's incompatible with (LittleSnitch, AppCleaner, FileVault, and PeerGuardian to name a few) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy.
    The page also mentions that your CPU can overheat, for whatever reason, and that means total failure for a laptop or early component damage to a motherboard. Gee, that sounds like something that shouldn't be run on a regular basis.

    No error message!
    I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
    Thanks for your answers!

    Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
    Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
    Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
    Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
    of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
    Files Folder.
    Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
    in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As
    Administrator.
    Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.
    Thank you.

  • Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

    my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Change your Mac's sleep settings
    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...
    - Judy

    I have an iMac that I purchased back in 2010 and over the past 9 month or less my computer just started shutting down while someone was in the process or working on it.  What could this come from?  Is there a simple solutions to this problem?

    Which model iMac do you have?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758 How to identify iMac models 
    Which OS is currently installed? 
    Check out KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM 
    If not of the above works and you have AC, call them.  Let them deal w/it.  Otherwise, take your iMac down to your local AS or an AASP.  Diagnostic testing is FREE!

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.
    I don't do Windows.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

    Hi All,
    Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
    1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
    2. Updating all the video drivers.
    3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
    But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vincent

    A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
    Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
    Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
    You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
    Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
    What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?

  • MacBook randomly shuts down while watching streaming video

    I've been having a problem lately with my MacBook randomly shutting down. I initially thought it was due to overheating which was logical considering I was using my MacBook in bed and the computer was very hot when it would shut off, but I've recently started using a TV-Table top for it to sit on when I'm using it in bed. My MacBook continues to shut down and the computer isn't nearly as hot as it was prior to using the TV-Table top, it is just warm. It's definitely not a battery issue because this happens when I'm using the power source as well. *I think I've noticed that this only happens when I'm in Firefox watching online streaming video on sites such as YouTube.* I never use Safari so I'm not sure if the problem would occur in Safari or not. I tried installing the MacBook SMC Firmware Update v1.1 but it said my computer didn't need it.

    I have the same problem, every once in a not-so-blue moon my macbook pro shuts down while streaming video. It only happens when streaming video. Just watched some of the new south park episode, and it shut down on me! It really ticks me off!!!!!

  • MAC AIR SHUTS DOWN WHILE STREAMING

    My MacBook Air shuts down while streaming video.  I am using safari and it works for a while but then shuts down and will not restart for quite some time.  When it restarts I have to immediately close the video window or it will shut down again.  I have the latest version of flashplayer.

    This sounds like an overheating issue.  Flash requires a surprisingly high level of resources.  Do you hear your fans running at all while you are playing the videos?
    Download the free iStat Pro widget directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    It will show you both your fan speeds and temperature.  Start playing a video and let it play for a short while (sometime before it typically shuts off... but long enough to let things warm up).  Then check the temp and fan speed.  Do this while the video is still playing as things can cool off pretty fast after you stop playing the video.  Post the numbers back here.
