CS3 Just shuts down

I apologize if this has been covered, but I can't find it if it is ...
When I run Photoshop CS3 on my laptop I can work on an image for 5 or 10 minutes or so and then it just shuts down! I don't even get an error message!
On my desktop machine I have no problems at all.
Any suggestions?
The laptop configuration is:
Dell XPS m1530 - Windows Vista SP1
CPU : Core2 Duo 2.6Ghz
Memory 4gb
Hard drive : 180 gb with 124 gb free

Graphics editing (or video editing or some games) really make a computer work hard
Do you have a system monitor that shows the internal temperature?
I know that over in the Premiere forum there are sometimes discussions of adding extra cooling... easy to do with a desktop case, but even for a laptop there are devices which sit under a laptop with built-in fans to suck the hot air down and out of the laptop and then out the sides of the device

  • Quicktime codec does not work, internet explorer just shuts down!

    I have reinstalled quicktime many times and still I cannot view any videos or movie previews on internet explorer that use the quicktime plugin. When I open the page that is supposed to use the plupin, a window pops up saying I should install the ActivX controller. When I press ok another popup comes up saying that internet explorer needs to shut don because of an error. So it just shuts down. I have tried to go through the support pages and I cant see anything that would seem to help so there is anyone who knows how to fix this problem, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    It's been years since I use Internet Explorer (especially on a PC).
    You must "enable" the ActiveX control in IE. (Probably a preference setting).
    Have you tried using other Web browsers? Most are free.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before

    MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal.  Anyone have this issue before?  I've only had this for about 3mos.  I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

    Hi S,

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • My iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions

    my iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions?  I did download a ringtone app and went on to iTunes to sync!. 

    Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

    And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
    Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
    Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
    When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
    So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names."

  • Macpro 17inch just shut down while using.  Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail.  Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore.  Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

    Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again.  This has happen multiple times over the last six months.  Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself.  When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
    problem.  Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology.  Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable.  Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

    I think you may have already been told what the problem is.  However look at this and maybe it will help:

  • Ipad will just shut down and not power back on until it is plugged in

    Ipad will just shut down and will not reboot until it is plugged in. Any suggestions??

    I'm going to guess that your battery isnt just dead?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider  and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
    If it won't hold a charge, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • IMac just shuts down after a safe mode run

    Hi,
    Suddenly after years of 'normal' run, my iMac is booting into safe mode continuously (spinning cog and progress bar). I did a PRAM reset, made sure the shift key is not stuck, unplugged all my USB/ethernet peripherals.
    But the more curious thing is, after the progress bar finishes, my mac just shuts down ! If I restart it, I go through the whole cycle again !
    Is this a known behaviour ?
    Thanks,
    Avinash

    (editing for clarity of thread)
    Yes - just did that. Ran the Disk Utility -> Repair Disk (in Recovery mode) and I think I see the problem. It says,
    "Error : Disk Utility can't repair disk... disk, and restore your backed-up files"
    I am assuming it is asking me to restore from a time machine backup ?

  • My iphone just shut down and i cannot get it started again

    my iphone just shut down and i cannot get it started again

    Hey Barry,
    It really depends on the circumstances.  If you haven't powered your phone off yourself for quite some time, sometimes kinks can just happen and this sounds like one of them.  Every so often on mine I will have to use this method but it is in the very minority of occasions.

  • My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • HT1222 I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Won't Boot Up - Just Shuts Down

    Hi all, I need some help.
    I'm trying to build a new computer. I'm running the following:
    MSI865 Neo2
    Intel P4 3.0ghz
    2x512mb Kingston DDR400 Ram
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    Antec Tru430w PS
    Maxtor 80gb SATA HD
    Whenever i turn on the machine 5-15 seconds later it just turns off. Sometimes I get as far as seeing a message saying "BIOS Not Installed" then something about the Floppy Drive then it shuts off. If I try it again without waiting 5 minutes or so, the monitor doesn't even have time to turn on before it again, just shuts off.
    I've checked all connections, tried reseating ram/video card/etc, and with only the video card and ram connected. I've also tried clearing the CMOS using the jumper the way the manual said to.
    Please help, and thanks in advance for your replies.
    P.S. On SATA HD's....do you need to plug in power to both sata & the standard 4pin? Also is there a special combination to use since with the 9800 pro needs a connection from the power supply to the card to the Hard Drive?

    It always just shuts down after it tells me "BIOS Not Installed"
    This implies you have the FIS2R board. This is the message from the Promise controller indicating it is not going to install it's bios since it didn't find a drive. Once you can get into the bios you can disable the Promise controller and get rid of the message.

    No. This must be one of the SATA drives that has both connectors to ease transition.
    Two beeps is either a memory error or a post failure. Try booting with only one stick of memory installed. If that doesn't work try the other stick. If that doesn't work try one stick in a different slot.

  • I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme

    I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme.  I tried reinstalling the programme but it just does not let me get to Organizer.  Now after reinstalling, it does not let me into the programme.  It just keeps on asking me to sign in.  Once I sign in, it just goes blank.  I checked my registration online and it is already there.  What do I do apart from tearing my hair?
