Computer Shuts Down When Running Logic

this just started. while running logic, the computer shuts down to where i can restart it unless i pull plug and let it recycle. a friend of mine thought it was the power supply, possibly the the cpu intense program is too much on p supply. he had me change in energy saver under options proccesor performance to reduced. but still shutting down. anyone have any clue where i should start trouble shooting or what this couyld be. i'm not ready for a new computer yet. i wouldn't mind buying a new power supply of i knew for sure it was that. i can get it to shut down in any other applications.
thanks

cleaned out dust, fans sound like they're working
ran Apple Hardware Test extended and it looked like it passed everything. it just stopped after 1hour 43 minutes.
what do you think is the next step. a tech said he would charge me 50 to run a diagnostic on it. he thinks its one of the cpu. will a diagnostic be my next step?
thanks

Computer shuts down when I click on the list or grid display button

I've uninstalled an reinstalled 3 times and instead of the computer shutting down when I start itunes as it was doing, it only does it when I click on the display as a list, grid or cover display button. However it seems to unistall some parts at the same time as I can't open it all afterwards (error message says its not installed). This started to occur after a couple of weeks of non use and when I last used it I purchased songs from itunes. I now have current version but didn't when it first statred to happen. Help!!

Okay ... we'd better have a closer look at the minidumps the PC has been producing to see if they can turn up any additional information on what we're dealling with here.
Open "My Computer", and see if you can find a directory called C:\Windows\Minidump. (That's where minidumps usually go on a PC, so long as the Systemroot hasn't been set to some other folder.)
If it's been collecting minidumps, there should be files in there with names like "Mini(number-numbers).dmp"
(If you have "Hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows, the ".dmp" extension may not appear on the dump files. The numbers in the file name will be different for each minidump, if minidumps are present.)
Once we've tracked down some minidumps, we can have a go at analysing them.
1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
The path will be:
SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
(An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "My Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash. (It'll say "Probably caused by" ...)
Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
If you can, have a look at several of your crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store

Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store. I don't know why or how to fix it.. It used to work, now it doesn't. I haven't done anything differently. I tried to 'repair' it in the add/delete programs.

Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. No fix. I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop. As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

My computer shuts down when I put it to sleep

Ever since I used some of those auto-download upgrades my Mac shuts down when I put it to sleep. What's wrong?

Hi gazebo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Computer shuts down when calibrating

Hi.. I've been having problems when trying to run the Battery Calibration and the computer shuts off when it gets to the discharge part of the calibration. Seems to be when it hits the 15 to 20% part of the discharge. I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM and running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. The battery calibration that I am talking about is when you first start the computer... press ESC to get menu and press F2 for Advanced Diagnostics then Battery Calibration. It checks to see if battery is there.. whether it is charged and charges if needed then goes into the drain battery part to find lower limit or 0% of the battery. It doesn't show any errors detected up to the part of discharging the battery and don't even show that the test was even run in the error log of the Advanced Diagnostic Menu. I've tried restoring the Bios to default values, uninstalling and reinstalling everything (programs and drivers), did a restore drive to original and updating everything and all is STILL the same. I've tried calibrating in Windows with the Support Assistant and all I get is the battery needs calibrated is this (after running calibration - waiting 3 hours plugged in and recalibrating:
Status (upper left hand corner): needs calibrating (20) and Charge capacity 51%
Over to the right side of the Screen: Failure ID - OK Design Capacity 4400 mAh Full Charge and Remaining Capacity: 2254 mAh Terminal Voltage: 12366mV Design Voltage: 10800 mV Cell Voltage1: 4148 mV Cell 2 voltage: 4125 mV Cell 3 Voltage: 4093 mV Status: E0 AC Power: True and a CT Number of 6BUED05BBZUE1G and showing a charge of 100%.
I realize the battery is getting old but all of this came on pretty much at the same time (short battery life and loss of calibration). I'm also running default values of HP Power Plan. Any ideas? Will a battery going bad cause all this? Why doesn't the Calibration when first booting the computer, shut down instead of doing the discharg/recharge thing... ? The power supply checks ok (checked with AC/DC meter).

is your notebook still in warranty? Warranty status check web page
It certainly seems by your description that the battery has issues.
Battery warranty is for one year, so it would be a good idea to replace it. Be sure that you buy a guaranteed compatible battery that comes with a one year warranty.
Best regards,

iTunes will not download, but gives me the error code " not a 32bid win program" I am running a 64 bit system and have tried all the fixes that are listed.
Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Windows reports that "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

Computer shuts down when battery is at 45% used

When running on the battery the computer shuts down completely when the battery shows about 65 % left. Then I have to use the command start to get it going again, any thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery - make sure you do this re-calibration every 2-3 months (I'm guessing you've never done it?)

Computer shuts down when Droid connected

s5710f Simline pc running windows 7
Everytime I try to connect my new Verizon Droid Incredible 2, the computer shuts down within a few seconds. HP tech support said I need to get Droid software to load onto the computer, but no one at Verizon has ever heard of this happening.

I'm not sure what is happening, but you could try stopping and restarting the following services and see if that helps at all.
Apple Mobile Device
IPod Service
To access services, right click on My Computer and select "Manage". When the Computer Management window opens, doublel click on Services and Applications and then double click on services.
Good Luck...
Just an additional thought. Are you connecting through a USB hub or directly to the PC. If you are using a hub, try connecting directly to the PC. And also, if you are directly connected to the PC, try another USB port if you have one available.

Computer shuts down when iPhone 3gs is conected

I have an Acer Asire 5600 lap top, about 3 years old and when i attach my new iphone 3gs the computer shuts down and restarts. If I dont unplug the iphone the computer keeps shutting down and restarting.
Any ideas
Thanks
Craig

I had this problem for several months and recently solved it.
You will need to download the following complete software and install it:
AcerOrbicam (logitech).zip must be version 10.4.0.1319
make sure to disable any antivirus program before the installation.
make sure to unplug your network connection to avoid any virus attack whenever you disable your antivirus software. restart after installation. takes 4 steps.
windows xp, running latest itunes 9.2. plug iphone after restart. it should work!!

Computer shuts down when installing network preferences
