Help in remote diagnosis this X60! (Overheating, USB boot issues)

I just got it back from (a well respected aftermarket, not Lenovo) service, stress tested but nothing found, a hard disk just died in it with "sector 0" error.
Symptoms, still:
- When uploading to Box.com with Java multiuploader it overheats and - I guess as a protection - shuts down or resets.
- When formatting an encrypted partition - the same.
- When handling a very big Word document in LibeOffice - the same. Though, it opens the same document in MS Word 2007 flawlessly.
Other issues:
- Hiren's Boot [USB] doesn't work when there is no physical hard drive in it. (It works perfectly on another machine.)
- FreeDOS says an "Invalid Opcode [code]"error when starting. (It also works perfectly on another machine.)
Have latest [2.19] BIOS.
What to do with it?

GS60-2QE (970M) USB Boot Issue

Hi all,
I have been having a strange issue on my new Ghost Pro, sometime it allows me to boot from a USB CD drive or thumbstick and other times it won't. I have checked the BIOS settings, secure boot, UEFI, boot order and they are fine. The USB devices show in the USB configuration section too. When saving the settings and holding F11, there is no USB boot device but occasionally there is... I can't work it out and it's most annoying or a fault?
I have flashed the BIOS to the latest 10D release but that hasn't helped. Resetting defaults makes no odds either.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Will

I have heard there is issues if you use a USB 2.0 cable or usb stick 2.0 it would not work 100% on USB 3.0 port for weird reasons such as installing windows 7 will just keep saying it couldnt detect the drivers thats because usb 2.0 has issues with 3.0 ports which idk why :/ so try using USB 3.0 on USB 3.0 while USB 2.0 on 2.0 than 2.0 on 3.0 then it should work

X220: USB Boot Issues.

Hello Everyone! I just recieved my new X220 by UPS this morning and I've been loving using it, Windows 7 is not as bad as I had expected it to be (I've usedOS X since '05.) and the keyboard is great, and the trackpoint too. Overall I'm very impressed with the hardware so far. I am wanting to install linux on this because I miss the comfort of the bash shell. So I loaded up my flash drive with UNetBootin as I usually would do for a USB install since this has no cd drive. When I get the thinkpad splash screen I hit F12 to go into boot options and I selected the correct USB drive, but when I hit enter to boot from it...the screen goes black for a second, then comes back to the boot menu. Any ideas as to why it might not be working?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To anyone wondering, to do this, You must set the BIOS boot order to USB HDD as #1. Can't believe I forgot that *facepalm* got 11.04 up and running great now! Thanks for all of the help.

Usb Boot issue - v570

I have deleted the hidden partition as well as the D partition and repartitioned the drive. (200 mb partition left in place)
However it seems that after this the laptop will no longer boot from USB. I have tried several USBs with different linux distributions and methods (unetbootin, image copy) and every time I select USB from the boot menu or put it first in boot order (the drive is recognized - even shows the name), the laptop just skips it and boots Windows anyways. Even the same USB that worked fine before doesn't boot after this partitioning!
Anyone know what could be the problem and how to fix it?

hi hydroxide.
have you flashed any bios update? can you try to boot your computer without hdd? ( remove it if you can )

X131e usb boot issue

I am trying to run a chromium usb drive on x131e. Whenever i choose to boot with the usb drive in the boot menu, it gives me this screen, then takes me to the boot windows in safe mode screen.

Hello,
I'm not familiar with the X131e myself (the newest model I have in that series is an X120e), but if the X131e has UEFI firmware, you may need to disable the SecureBoot option in it in order to boot from the 8GB SanDisk USB flashd rive with Chromium OS on it.
Also, you might want to try a different brand of USB flash drive than SanDisk, just to see if that makes any difference.

USB boot issue mpb 15" 2011

I have just received the new 2.2ghz 15" mpb yesterday.
Everything is just Apple, prefect!
But when I connected my bootable usb drive and boot using the "Alt" key to select the drive, it showed up, but as soon i have selected it. It boots into a grey screen with the Apple logo standing still. (Tried selecting "Startup Disk" in System Preference too, no luck either)
To ensure the problem doesnt comes from the external drive, I tried to boot into it using my old white macbook, without a hitch. The os just load and pops right into OSX (10.6.7).
What could be the cause of this problem? And what could I do about it?
Thanks!
P.S. I am on Apple's 128GB SSD, 10.6.7

Your old bootable USB drive will not have all the drivers etc needed by the new 2011 MBP.
Try running the installer from the disk which came with your 2011 Mac on the external (while booted from internal or from the install disk itself).
This should put the drivers onto your external. Running the installer on top an existing install does not lose the data already there unless you chose to.
Another way would be to clone your external to another external, and then run the installer from your 2011 disk as a fresh install onto the USB, then use SetUp Assistant (automatic) at end of the install process to import everything from your clone of the external.

PS Note that there is a special and different 10.6.7 update for the 2011 MBPs. If you put this on your external USB I don't know how this plays with the earlier Macs. Don't think Apple did this before (special update for one model)

USB Boot Issue on Thinkpad X120e

I'm having trouble booting from USB flash drives on my X120e.
The issue:
I have a usb drive plugged in with a bootable image, but when I select it from the BIOS menu, the screen just flickers and I end up back at the boot device selection menu.
I've tried different boot images, different flash drives, and different methods of copying over the ISO. (Unetbootin, and dd'ing the iso to the drive.) I plugged in a USB CDROM drive, and it booted the CD that was in the drive. Any ideas what could be going on here?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like you are not "burning" the ISO to the memory key properly. In Windows, I use UltraISO to do that:
1. File -> Open, browse to the ISO
2. Bootable -> Write Disk Image, then click on the "Write" button.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
First did a full back up of iphone using iTunes
Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
Disconnected USB cable from iphone
Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
A full restore from back-up then occured
I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets.
It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings...
When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles.
I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one.
I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder.
I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where.
I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS 10.7.3
Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?
Thanks for your help

Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
Perhaps this answers question.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

4530s DC CARD or USB BOOT not working even if it has this option in bios

i just posted a message but i think it's in the wrong section..
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-questions/sd-card-boot-and-usb-boot-not-working/m-p/9...
Hi, i just got a HP ProBook 4530s , I5 processor, Intel HD 3000 , i have a problem with it, i can't boot on any usb or sd card, i tried all linux versions i could find and also some live windows and bartPE, on my sd card i get the "Disk read error" as soon as i choose the booting device and on usb it goes a little bit further i can see the linux logo some processes starting and then same error related to write on disk, the sd card and usb are not in read only mode and on my other laptop a older one 6730s everything works...
Also all the usb and sd card work perfect in windows, when i boot from internal HDD.
Is there a fix for it?? Or can anybody that has this laptop test if it works booting from usb or sd card, maybe it's a problem with this unit..
i have tried all available bios verions and various usb devices but as i said the usb sticks all worked on my other laptop but not on this one.
Oh and also is there a bios option to stop virus check on boot? as far as i could test that is the only option in bios that is not there and i can't test with it ON/OFF.. any help would be apreciated because i can return the laptop for 30 days and i allready have it for one week. and i really need this option to work.
PS - sorry for my bad english but i'm from Europe

Yes, I've tried this. I pulled the power cable, waited two minutes, hit the CMOS button, and also removed the battery, and waited another minute.
After which, I loaded optimized defaults, but the problem remains.

HT204088 hello there, this is really urgent i would like to ask if there is a way to deactivate/lock my Mini Ipad because it was stolen, i hope you can provide me a way to do so, thank you for the support and i really hop you can help me, i bought this mi

hello there, this is really urgent i would like to ask if there is a way to deactivate/lock my Mini Ipad because it was stolen, i hope you can provide me a way to do so, thank you for the support and i really hop you can help me, i bought this mini ipad not too long ago.

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating and/or remotely wiping it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model you should also contact your carrier.

Halo, i hav an ipad2 version 4.3.5. now i went for updating it and while updating it shows error 4005. Pls help me in fixing this issue

You've tried the other things on those pages e.g. tried a different USB port on your computer and a different cable, tried the other pages that the first link
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Help with Remote on iPod Touch 2nd Gen.???

i am in desparate need of help with remote for my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. i have downloaded the app and turned on home sharing in both iTunes on the Mac and on the iPod through Remote. yet when i go to add an iTunes Library within the app, it gives me this freaky passcode and i am REALLY REALLY unsure of how to use it on the Mac.
Note- on the Mac its says to go in through devices and turn it on, but the only way i know how to do it is through Preferences and it doesn't help much at all
??? please demystify the mystified??? anyone?? please!

have you seen this support article ?

delete every thing and if you can damged the software no problem because i have many important thing

And if you didn't set up Find My iPhone, or it's not appearing in the Find My iPhone section of iCloud.com, then there's no way you can wipe the iPhone remotely. If, however, you set up a screenlock password, then someone would need to restore the iPhone to get past the passcode which will erase everything on the iPhone, and if you set the option to erase the iPhone after ten failed attempts at the passcode, your data is even more inaccessible.
By the way, please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
Regards.
