Bootcamp overheating. Display shuts off.

I'm running Windows 7 on my macbook pro.
After less than an hour of gaming, the display shuts off. My fans are running at about 6000rpm and my HD temperature is 45 C.
The display will come back on after a short cooling period.
I've never had this problem before, only when running bootcamp.
I've installed the bootcamp 3.0 drivers and everything on the mac side is up to date. Any suggestions?

I had a multiple display setup so noticed that 1 display was dimmer than the others but would be same brightness after shutdown/restart. It would restart fine but after a series of flickers, it would just step down to a lower brightness level within 5-10 minutes of restarting. By the time I took it to Apple, the issue would repeat within 3 minutes so definitely degrading and would go blackout from time/time.

    Perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this doesn't help, connect the phone to the charger and leave it for about 30 minutes and see if it comes on. If not, while it is connected try the reset I described first.

  • Imac G5 PowerPC Display shuts off intermittently

    I have a iMac G5 PowerPC 2.1 GHz running 10.4.11. A few weeks ago I started having this problem where the display shuts off intermittently (as if it was going into screen saver mode). If I move the mouse or press a key the display comes back after a few seconds. I've made sure that I turned off all screen saver settings. I have yet to determine if there is a pattern to this behavior. It happens every few minutes on some days and not for several hours sometimes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    Raj/

So anyone out there help? please?

  • 15" Apple Studio Display Shutting Off

    My Apple Studio Display (LCD 15", purchased 2000) visual display is intermittently shutting off. Audio remains functional, and I can still type while the display is absent and when it comes back what I typed (ie, on a word doc) is there. The screen saver does not come on during the loss of visual display - the screen just goes black. When I move the mouse around or hit the keyboard repeatedly, the visual will come back. There are not problems with the display when it is visualized. Here's what i've tried so far:
    1. All connections are secure on the ADC cable.
    2. Tried restarting computer several times - no avail
    3. Checked the display settings in system prefs - energy saver is @ 15min.
    I'm wondering if the problem is the monitor or something with the computer. I read somewhere in discussions that PRAM batteries can be a problem (mine has never been changed and I don't know how to reset).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really hope to continue to use my monitor!!

    Do you hear a zapping sound when it happens? It could be high voltage arcing. Blowing out dust might help.

  • Brand new Thunderbolt display shuts off randomly

    I've had a new ThunderBolt Display for less than a month paired with a brand-new Mac Mini (2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000)
    and the display just began shutting off randomly.
    I also have an external HD drive daisy chained via the display's Thunderbolt port that stops working once the display dies. Tried connecting the Mac Mini alone with no hard drive figuring it might be the drive but no the display still randomly shuts off. Any ideas or suggestions before I call Applecare?

    I have a similar setup and problem. My Thunderbolt display (refurb, purchased in February 2012) will randomly turn off, as if it went to sleep - but mouse/keyboard input does not wake it back up. The internal speakers will still output audio. Disconnecting/reconnecting the Thunderbolt cable from the attached Mac Mini (2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.5, AMD Radeon HD 6630M ) will not resolve the issue. Disconnecting/reconnecting the display's power cord and the Thunderbolt cable from the Mac Mini will resolve the issue temporarily. This began happening maybe a month or two ago, and has probably happened 10 times in the last 30 days. It is completely random, and I have yet to be able to duplicate it on demand.
    Steps taken to attempt to fix the issue:
    Confirmed Energy Saver Settings
    Confirmed Software up to date (OS 10.7.5)
    Attempted Firmware Updates (message states not needed)
    Reset NVRAM
    Reset SMC (unplugging computer)
    There are other discussions reporting similar behaviour:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3340067?start=0&tstart=0 (13 pages)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3352192?start=0&tstart=0 (5 pages)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4243396?start=0&tstart=0 (2 pages)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3347412?start=0&tstart=0 (1 page)
    As well as other discussions concerning random flickering issues with the display.
    Since I'm still under warranty, I took my display to a Genius Bar today. The rep didn't really seem to want to hear about what I found on these discussion boards. He says you can pretty much find anything you want to find here, and since it is unmoderated it is not a reliable source of information. I let him know that the issue (as far as I can tell) occurs with different models of Mac Mini's, MB Pros & MB Airs, suggesting it is in fact an issue with the display and not what's connected to it. I added that most folks who reported bringing the displays in for service ultimately ended up with a replacement display, as the service done on the defective display proved to not resolve the issue - but I would of course defer to his judgement.
    He decided that they would order and replace the LCD panel. He assured me they would keep the display powered on for 12-24 hours after the service to ensure the issue has been resolved. Truthfully, I am not optimistic. And for the amount it costs to replace the panel ($833.32 from the provided estimate), I speculate this course of action will end up being much more costly for them in the long run. But we shall see!
    I will be sure to provide updates as they come.  Wish me luck!

  • Display shuts off

    Display has started shutting off when I open laptop. The processor is running Nd I'm able to reboot. When I do the display comes on for a second or two then turns off. The computer continues to boot up. I'm not able to get the display to come back on. MacBook intel duo 2.13 running Lion.

    I shut it down overnight and had a successful boot, the display is still working, but I'm leary about closing it, or letting is sleep. I suspect is may be a software issue, but I dont know why shutting it down and letting is sit for hours did anything.

  • Dimming Screen/No Start up/Spontaneous display shut off

    Hi everyone,
    I bought my PB G4 in January of 2005, so there are still a few months left on AppleCare, but I've been having major problems due to a little accident involving beer and my girlfriend :P
    One evening, we were getting ready to go out to the Campus bar and we were drinking in my dorm room. Stupidly, I put my beer down next to the computer and within about 5 seconds we were rushing to mop it up from the keyboard... Now there were no immediate problems with the computer, but about 2 weeks later, the screen started spontaneously dimming, massive screen distortion (coloured lines everywhere) as well as shutting off. Sometimes I would start up the computer and the screen itself would never illuminate. Now it's been getting worse with the screen shutting off every 5-10 minutes.
    I am wondering whether this will be covered by apple care, and what could possibly cause this? I've been looking at the new Imac, but I'm scared of all of the problems I've been reading about. I've been told it might be the Logic board, so if it is, how much would that cost if it wasnt covered by apple care?
    I'm sorry my question is basically a novel!
    Thanks so much in advance!
    Derek

    Hi, Derek. Only AppleCare can tell you what will or won't be covered, but I'd be astonished if they covered a beer spill. Spills can be extremely damaging, especially when they aren't followed up properly. This article from a respected Mac repair service provides some good information about the possible consequences, the repairs that are commonly required, and what you should have done immediately after the spill occurred. Call AppleCare now and get the repair process underway.

  • Display shuts down when doing a system restore

    Presio CQ61-411M
    Windows 7
    Display shuts off when trying to do a system restore.
    When doing a system restore the display seems to shut off. I have tried many times, sometimes it stops at 3%, sometimes at 14% and sometimes before I can even start it. I have attached a second monitor and it goes off at the same time.
    I can no longer boot to windows since it started a system restore.
    I have tried to boot from a CD and also get a black screen. All lights on the keyboard are still on. It is like it goes into powersave mode. Light on HD is solid, doesn't make any noise.
    I am so frustrated! There was no power or display issues before I started. I was simply going to do a clean restore.

    Yes, if you have the music folder you still have your song files....the most important!
    But I would hate to lose my ratings and playlists.
    If you want your ratings and playlists from the ipod, itunes will NOT do it. You would have to download & install some other 3rd-party ipod manager. Such as mentioned here:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P2
    My advice for the future is to make frequent backups of the iTunes Library.itl file. About once a week, I put a copy on a USB stick Mor often if I've done lots of edits/added content. And ALWAYS before an itunes upgrade.

  • My phone shut off and won't turn back on.

    My phone's display shut off cuz it timed out. I am not having a problem turning it back on. It is fully charged and I havn't had any problems since i got it except this one. I have pressed all the buttons so far and have tried plugging it in to the computer. the computer didn't regerster that it was plugged in. i can't get any of the serial number to use the support and am at work with no access to my itunes or packaging. anyone know a way to get the phone to turn back on?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for about 10 minutes. If may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Problem: Screen Shuts Off For No Reason

    I have the new iPhone 3G.
    My screen shuts off (the screen turns black, but the phone is still on...like if you shut the monitor off on a desktop PC while the tower is still on) randomly which requires me to do a hard reset (holding the sleep button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears).
    This happens without warning when I do the following:
    1. During a call, when I need to use the keypad, put a call on hold, activate speakerphone, etc. the screen will stay black and will not turn on when I touch it. This means I can't even end a call unless the caller hangs up. It is clear that the phone is still on (I can hear the caller at the other end), but I cannot use the screen at all. The screen comes back on when I put the phone back up to my ear, but then when I pull it away to touch the screen it goes black again.
    2. After I complete a call, the screen will shut off before I can press the "end call" button. Even after the call is terminated from the other end, I cannot make the screen come back on.
    3. After the screen automatically goes to sleep (goes black), I cannot make it come back on.
    In all 3 of these instances, I use a hard reset to make the screen come back on. In the first instance that I listed, I have to do a hard reset during the call in order to disconnect the call and get the screen to come back on.
    These problems do not happen during/after every single call. For example, sometimes it will be after one call, other times it will be after five calls. It happens without warning and without reason. It is very inconvenient because I am resetting my phone several times a day. When I call customer service lines (for any company), I can't use the keypad to do things such as "Press 1 for English" without doing a hard reset in the middle of the call and calling back several times until it works.
    I would really appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem, and a very helpful person in another thread suggested I try removing the phone from the case, as it's probably blocking the little sensor next to the earpiece. When it's close to your head, the display shuts off (because, naturally, you're not using the screen). When you take it away, the screen should pop up. If that sensor is blocked, the thing thinks it's still next to your head.
    I'm going to experiment without the case for a few days. if it's fixed, great. If it's not, I'm taking the stupid thing back to the Apple Store. We'll see.
    Course, if you don't have a case... I'd say either attempt to erase and restore it from within iTunes or get on the horn with Apple support.

  • HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

    Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP
