E9120y pc constantly powering on & off continuously before even going to BIOS.

Dear Sir / Madam,
The PC was working fine except recently it started to power cycle continously, powering on and off without even going to BIOS. The condition remains same after removing the all cards and hard drives. I did not remove the memory modules. Replaced drives and reconnected everything resulting to same result.
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Dipankar

Dipankar, welcome to the forum.
The symptoms that you are experiencing can be caused by a failing/ed power supply unit (PSU). Here is a guide to help you troubleshoot it.
Also, if you are comfortable doing so, it would be good to test the memory. I suggest removing all of it and replacing it one stick at a time and boot. Here is the Adding/Replacing hardware section for the computer. There is a section on Replacing RAM (memory).

HT4623 Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues

Why do the words, graphics, etc on my 4s screen vibrate when I touch it? I powered it off thinking it was a glitch but it continues to happen. It just started out of the blue

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

My iMac has started powering itself off

I have an iMac with a 3.2 GHz Intel i3 core, it is about 9 months old now. A few weeks ago I upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.1. The install and upgrade went very smoothly, but I started to see that my machine now turns itself off rather than go to sleep when I am not using it actively Rather than having to touch a key or move the mouse to wake it, I need to use the power button and wait for a full boot-up.
I have spoken to the support people who suggested the following
run the apple Hardware tests - that found no problems
reset power and p-ram (disconnect all cables, wait for a while, reconnect then power up and hold command-option-p-r keys
After this the frequency with which it powers down seems to have reduced, but it has not stopped altogether. I am pretty sure it was stopping every time I went away for any length time - I can't say how long, but anywhere from half an hour or more is my best guess.
A couple of days ago it was fine all day, despite me leaving it unattended for a few hours.
Yesterday it powered itself off at some point in the the afternoon when I went out for a meeting.
Today is stayed up while I was out for 3+ hours.
I have used the Console to look at the logs, and there is nothing that looks like an error before an extended gap in the log's times followed by a boot message..
If I explicitly put the iMac to sleep I am pretty sure it always wakes up just fine.
Any suggestions would be welcome
Thanks

Thanks, I habe got it and tne various temperatures are between 35 and 47 Celcius if I leave it alone for a while, they seem to get around 7 degrees hotter when I am using it.

I have an I Pad 1 with 64 gigs. It constantly drops me off the Internet for no apparent reason. Is there any fix for this problem?

My I Pad 1 constantly drops me off the Internet and programs. Is there any fix for this problem? It started after the last update and continues to get worse.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Z77A-G45 trouble - powering on/off repeatedly

This is completely infuriating me. I can't work out what's wrong. I'm doing a quick test before I fasten everything down to my case but it's not going well.
I have my CPU and heatsink fastened in correctly, both the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors from my PSU connected and RAM is in the right slots. When I power on using the 6th and 8th pin of JFP1 it boots up for about 5 seconds then turns off again, then continues to do so indefinitely. Doesn't even reach BIOS. Also is there any kind of speaker with this mobo so I can hear POST? As it stands I've got no clue what's going on.
Specs so far are Intel i5 3570k CPU with stock HS&fan, XFX Pro 550W and 8GB (2 strip) DDR3 RAM. Anyone know what's wrong. I've paperclip tested the PSU so it's not that.
Anyone know what to do to troubleshoot?

G Skill Dual Channel RAM, before purchasing I asked if it was compatible and apparently it is. I've just removed and refitted the CPU and no problems on that front. When I removed my second bit of RAM it now boots up. I'll quickly attach the HDMI and see if it goes to BIOS.
im not a MSI mod though but i like to help you
so you are stating that on
you have Gskill dual channel ram ... can you be more exact maybe give a type number or something ? and at what speed does it run?
and you removed one of the 2 ram banks and now it works or ?
Just edited the last post. I'm not really sure what the RAM is, it only says G Skill Dual channel on the box. As it says in the edit, it's working when I have either RAM inserted in the first slot. I think this is an error on my end rather than the hardware.

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

No. Just put it in rice as is.
You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

One agent issue: CTIOS is not prompting about a call and constantly logging itself off

Hello all,
One agent in the call center is experiencing the following issue:
The coming calll will not ring into the agent's desktop application CTIOS. The softphone(CTIOS) is not prompting about a call. ( The coming call will ring into the phone set) . And the agent is constantly logging itself off.
The phone set's configuration looks O.K... Anything else I need to check?
Software Version: ICM 6 with CCM4.1
I appreciate your help.

If this is only one agent I recommend you just save your time and either reformat the computer or change the phone. You can decide which one needs to be replaced by having another agent on another computer use that phone and then have your bad computer use another phone.

AirPort drops off continually while listening to Spotify, how do i solve this issue?

Airport drops off continually while listening to Spotify, how do i fix this?

Hello @Kelly45!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see your printer is showing offline when it is in fact online. The first thing I suggest is to remove the power from the printer and the router and restart the computer. After 20 seconds plug the router and printer back in and see if you still experience the issue. I also suggest moving the router or printer so they are 5-10 feet apart. Too close and too far away may cause odd connection issues. You will also want to ensure the router is not next to speakers or a TV. Other electronics can effect Wi-Fi signal as well.
If you are still experiencing the issue then it may be software related. I recommend uninstalling the HP software. After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.
To uninstall HP software click here: Uninstalling HP Software
To perform a disk cleanup click here: Performing a Disk Cleanup
To download the HP software click here: HP Software and Driver (Click "Download" next to HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver)

My iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.3) keeps cutting off songs before they finish.

My iPod keeps cutting off songs before they finish. There doesn't seem to be a pattern - it only happens to some songs. It also doesn't cut them all off with the same amount of time remaining. The songs work perfectly when I play them back on iTunes on my laptop.
I've tried removing and reloading all the music as well as restoring my iPod to its factory settings.
Please help... it's driving me mad!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OSX Maverick

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:
