Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D shuts down by itself

Dear all,
I have had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. During this time, it works normally, occasionally shuts down by itself maye because it was too hot.
Recently, it tried to install updates from Windows but never successful. I left the computer to update for the whole night and it was still 2 out of 12 updates ... all the time so I always had to shut the computer down by pressing the power key.
I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically because everytime I tried to do that it froze. Most other commands became nonresponsive even viewing pictures.
It was until my computer was unable to connect to a certain wireless network while other devices can that I decided to reinstall Windows completely. It was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer shuts itself again!!!
I tried to install again and it shut itself down again, but I got into the final stage of set up so when I turned it on again, it was still "finihing the installation may take several mins. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer". I left it on for several hours but it didnt move to any different stage. Before the computer shuts itself down I think I got to the stage after this.
I tried to press F8 to begin a new installation but it only got into this screen.
What can I do?
Please help me! Thank you a lot in advance!
I am in Germany at the moment but I live and bought this computer from the UK.

I accidentally threw away my Toshiba box without checking what was inside when I moved out last year and I wasnt sure if there was any disk so I dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk.
I was installing using Toshiba Recovery inside the laptop, not with an external Windows disk.
Can I download it somewhere on the Toshiba website?

After using PC Suite, windows won't shut down

Hi,
I'm using bootcamp on a Mac(laptop),
running Win XP, SP2
PC Suite 6.84.10.3
Nokia 6288
I connect to the internet via bluetooth and everything works fine until I diconnect. Most of the time when I click disconnect(and every time when I ttake the phone away till the signal disconnects), it won't connect again. Infact, it actually no longer searches for devices, will not detect the phone any more when I go through the "Get Connected" process.
What's really annoying me is that windows will not shut down. It hangs on a blank blue screen after shutting everything else down. It also will no longer sleep or hibernate.
I feel that its running something heavy in the backgrownd as my laptop gets quite hot after a while.
This is a major problem not as its so damn annoying, but cousing Windows to crash constantly and hard rebooting windows couses damage and ongoing problems with windows. We know this operating system has plenty enough problems as it is.
Any help with this issue would be massively appreciated.
Thanks,
Kia

it sounds to me that the driver for the bluetooth radio is failing on you.
to prevent the computer from going to sleep, etc, the driver must be stuck in a wait state without a timer providing failure detection. you may want to send a bug report to someone (i imagine that would be apple, but i dont know - it's certainly not nokia, and beyond the scope of what microsoft ships with windows).
on my powerbook i sometimes have a similar issue as you have described (in macosx, not windows, since i dont have an intel chip). when i have this problem, my bluetooth preferences cannot display my laptop's bluetooth name. perhaps you see this issue too?
in macosx you can turn on/off the bluetooth radio. when i power cycle my bluetooth radio my problems subside. i believe this is due to the driver being unloaded (regardless of its failed state) and reloaded again when the hardware is once more available.
i don't know how to turn on/off bluetooth radios in windows. microsoft's bluetooth implementation is notorious. their initial offerings lacked basic features all over the place (microsoft just extended their serial port drivers to tunnel through the bluetooth hardware - so in lala land bluetooth was nothing more than a serial port). i'm sure they've improved it since i lasted played with it, but i don't know that they've added everything that your hardware supports.
maybe try using nokia's macosx software instead, and synchronizing between osx and windows via OS provided tools?
good luck,
-jared
edit:
what i mean to say is, perhaps use Parallels instead of Bootcamp. connect to the internet via macosx and share the internet connection from macosx to your windows apps.Message Edited by bitflung on 16-Oct-200705:03 PM

(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I never left an open problem....I search, dig and ask, until it's solved....

Sounds like there is an issue with possibly having to many group policies or some other network lag. Are the users "my documents" folder redirected to the server? Possibly using Sync Center to backup the files? If yes, I would check sync center
to make sure it syncs at other intervals besides shutdown. Possibly when they are working or idle for a designated period.

How did you add WIndows: Boot Camp, Parallels, Fusion, something else?
Were you running Windows when you shut down?
Did you in fact shut down Windows properly before you shut down the computer or the virtual machine?

My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes. It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on.

Computer crashes and has to be shut down whenever Firefox is opened.

The problem started when I tried to open specific websites and then it worsened so that whenever I attempt to go to a page other than the Firefox home page, my computer has to be shut down. I can open Firefox but I can't do anything else; it even bombs my computer when I try to do troubleshooting. The problem doesn't occur when I use either Safari or Chrome.
Have tried the following:
1. Resetting preferences.
2. Doing a clean reinstall.
3. Opening Firefox in safe mode.
4. Updating active plug-ins.
I can't send any crash reports because there are none listed. I think it's because the computer bombs and is unable to record any info. I've tried to attach the troubleshooter.xpi file below, but it never loads. Don't know if it's because I'm working in Safari.

Please help me fix this problem. Firefox has been my favorite browser for years and I'd hate to have to use something else after all this time. Thank you.

Ok, sorry to hear that the crashes are not recording. I did notice that there was an issue with the graphics card. There are two things we can try:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
Or try this:
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Thank you.

Windows 7 not shutting down

HP TouchSmart 520, when PC has been on for any length of time (excess of one hour) PC will not shut down. Message "Shutting Down" appears with rotating circle but PC can only be shut down by holding the power button down. Can't find any useful specific info on the Internet. Any ideas please.Thanks.

Hello fuzzycat:
         Welcome to HP's forum. Here is direction Help and Support says to do:
Why won't my computer turn on or off quickly?
If your computer seems to shut down slowly (or not at all) or start up slowly, or if it doesn't enter power-saving modes, it's possible that a program or device driver is interfering with Windows power settings. You can use Performance Information and Tools to try to detect these programs or device drivers.
To check for performance issues
Click to open Performance Information and Tools.
In the left pane, click Advanced tools.
In Advanced Tools, under Performance issues, click any issues that are listed.
Read the information in the dialog box that appears to learn which programs or drivers are causing problems.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning on quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Manage the programs that run at startup. Some programs start automatically when you start Windows. Too many of these programs opening at the same time can slow down your computer. To disable these programs from startup and improve performance, use Windows Defender. For more information, see Stop a program from running automatically when Windows starts.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning off quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Close the program before shutting down. It's possible that the problem occurs only if the program is running. Try closing the program before shutting down Windows, and then see if your computer turns off properly.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If these options don't solve the problem, then the program or driver might be incompatible with Windows. If you installed the program or device yourself and you no longer use it, consider removing the device, or uninstalling the program or driver.
        You can also run PC tune up using HP support assistance, Disk Defragmenter found in Accessories under Tools, If you goto my computer Left click on c. drive Select properties . Then click on tool's tab. Then click Check now and place check marks in next window. Restart computer. This takes about 3 hours to complete.
            If all these steps have failed then preceed to do a Microsoft Restore using your Recovery Manger and select a date before it happen. You will be back to normal again. Please click on Kudos if this has resolved your issue. Thank you frrw.

X220 logs off windows when I shut down Chrome

Hi,
When I shut down the chrome browser, my x220 logs off windows. I'm still trying to pin-point the exact required conditions for the problem to happen, but I know it has to be running on the battery (never happens on the AC outlet).
Could this be a windows setting or some kind of configuration somewhere? I tried googling for it but nobody seems to have this issue regardless of the computer used.
Thanks!
Dave

hey gretzteam,
what you're describing is something unheard of. I would recommend checking with the Google forums if they have had any reported incident about this and at the same time; if your Chrome uses any add-ons .. kindly disable them and see if that helps.
