Help! PC somehow shut down itself everytime i play game for a while.
I just upgraded my pc yerterday and i've got this super annoying problem. I just upgraded to MSI P67A-GD65 + MSI N560 gtx TI Twin Frozr2 OC, intel I7 2600k, 16 gig of ram and 3 hd with total of 2.5 TB storage. I have this psu called AmacRoX SPEED POWER AX650-S it serves me well for more than a year before i upgraded my pc yesterday.
So i have this problem, whenever i play a game in full screen, somehow a minute or two later my pc just died for no reason, and it start itself a couple seconds later. I've tried finding a solution on the net for a day and nothing works. I've tried not using newest driver, I've tried turning off that auto restart feature on the start up & recovery option thing but it still won't give me a blue screen. I don't know what else to do.
Btw here's what it said on the sides of my psu :
AC Input : 100-240Vac - 10-5A 50-60hz
DC Output : +3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 +12V3 +12V4 -12V +5Vsb
Max Output Current : 35A 30A 18A 18A 18A 18A 0.5A 3.0A
Max Combined Pwr : 180W 624W
Total Power : 650W
Is my psu really the problem? Cause as of now i don't have any more spare budget and just hoping that theres a button that i just have to push to fix this problem. I'm really desperate right now, Any help is appreciated! THANKS!!!
To check your PSU look at the labeling/sticker on it. It will have the complete set of stats there and there should be a line that says 12v check those to make sure that it gets at least 30amps on the 12v rail.
If it doesn't say 30a or more under the 12v then the PSU has been your issue the whole time. Also, don't simply buy a "more powerful" one. Get a more reliable, a tested, a known brand. One that is known to be decent. I Suggest a Corsair TX650v2 or higher.
Moving from 450w to 1000w won't cure your problem, it needs to have the amount of amps on the 12v rail which is requested by all the components of your system. If it doesn't have enough power to support your rig under strain, it will shut off to protect your investment. You're lucky you didn't buy too cheaply and make a bomb out of your PC instead.
I don't understand why people skimp out on the Heart of their rigs. The Power Supply is what pumps the much needed blood (electricity) to your organs (PC components). Without the proper amount, it doesn't work.
Use this link to figure out what kind of PSU you need:

IPhone 5s shuts down after being in the cold for a while
I have an iPhone 5s. I go outside jogging at noon and listen to the radio on the phone app. Since it is cold outside, it has happened several times that after about 20 minutes I come back into the building and take out and check my phone it shuts down by itself. If I try to restart, it will tell me the battery is low and need recharge. I will have to wait for a couple of minutes before I could restart. First couple of times, the battery was low, close to 10%. Today it happened again. When I restarted eventually, it showed over 60% battery life left. Has anyone else had similar issues? The warrenty just expired. What is my option?

IMac shuts down itself (or log off) when I leave it even if working
My iMac shuts down itself when I leave it for a few minutes even if working, just as example, when rendering a movie. Every time I leave the computer for more than 30 minutes, I come back and I find the first screen. (actually I don't know if the iMac shuts down or just log off)
Anybody knows ?
Thanks
MaxHi Max
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are two levels of sleep, Display Sleep and Computer Sleep.
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Energy Saver > and set Computer Sleep to Never and Display to Sleep after 10 or 15 minutes. That way the Computer will stay awake, but the Display will Sleep if your not sitting there doing something on it.
Also if you want to disable the password after Computer Sleep, go to System Preferences > Security > General and uncheck the Require password box.

Nokia 5530 Shuts down itself - Need help
Hi
Did anyone experience this? My 5530 would shuts down itself anytime during a call.
Could be either during a received call or dialed out call.
Could be right after the call is connected, or few mins after the call is connected
I have been using it for half a year without any problem. It just started to go nuts this week.Ok, what I would do is to update if possible : http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update, or/and soft reset and format the memorycard.
(remember to back up anything you want, - But I would try not to backup more than contacts, messages and music and pics - as you might can take the problem with you. Likely - it's not a software issue as you said it been behaving fine for half a year.
Have you installed any apps lately right before the issues started?
If you cannot figure it out - I would take it to a Nokia care point as it might be a hardware fault. -
HT1455 iMac shuts down itself in the middle of Safe Boot progress bar loading
Hi, Im using a late 2009 iMac 21.5'' on Mountain Lion. (Originally Snow Leopard I THINK)
I got the dreaded grey screen one day and after I did more reseach i tried using the Safe Boot way.
Now Ive encountered a new problem, everytime I turn on my mac, it shows the Apple logo and the Safe Boot progress bar.
Not even reaching halfway through the bar, it just shuts down itself, every single time.. please help?
Btw, I',m using a wireless keyboard, I had to go around borrowing a windows keyboard from my friends, I dont know if anyone can shade some light if i can use wireless to do the keyboard pressing thing when it starts up?
I've also tried inserting my original OS installation disc and press C..it just shows a grey screen, then the disc got ejected, then the Apple logo with the progress bar and then shuts down itself.
Please help, I just need to go into my system one more time and backup my important datas before i go for the 1TB Seagate Replacement Program.
Thank you so much, appreciate it!hendry17 wrote:
Is that similar with this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553 on 'Instruction for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk utility' ?
No, that copies the entire drive IF it's entirely readable which you don't need, you only REALLY need is your files as everything else (OSX and programs) can be replaced)
Ds store: I read your article on creating a data recovery.
This is designed to install OS X onto a external drive, boot from it and then:
1: Attempt data recovery via normal drag and drop methods on your Users folders.
2: If the above fails, to see if the internal drive is working via Disk Utility, and/or use Data Rescue software ($100) to attempt recovery of the files themselves, bypassing the file structure and whatever is causing the problem.
3: Build your extenral boot drive of everything the way you need it, then Carbon Copy Cloner the external onto the internal drive (new or erased whatever the case may be)
May I ask you why not port powered?
Mac's have been shutting off ports that are drawing too much current, like what port powered hard drives do.
Am planning to get myself a 3TB external HDD 3,5" for all my backups in time for my AASP journey
Too large for a boot drive, you basically want a external boot drive equal too or slightly larger than the boot drive your recovering from, because later you can use it as a bootable clone backup of the entire boot drive and store it for emergencies.
These large drives like 1TB and 3TB are sometimes problematic (especially with 10.6) when formatting. Also I advise all boot drives be Zero erased before OS X is installed or cloned onto it to reduce bad sectors, a zero erase on a 3TB drive could take 6-10 hours.
If you want to use the 3TB, use it for file backup, not for your bootable clone your creating with the instructions I gave.
You see later on, once you got all your data off the internal boot drive, you build the external boot drive just like you would do a brand new erased internal drive. You add programs and whatnot, tweak it how you like. Because later on your use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external onto the erased or new internal drive. Get it?
So 3TB is excessive if your internal boot drive is only 500GB, you will have 2.5TB left over.
Sure you can partition, but I don't advise having so many backups on one piece of physical media, you drop it, lose it or fry it, you lost everything.
So more and seperate pieces of backup are safer in that regard, hardware and software redundancy.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.
Hi Limfromsi,
It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:
iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

Help! T400 shuts down automatically, and it's not over heated
This T400 is 2 yrs old. It starts to shut down itself without any warning. I thought it's over heated, but all temp. monitor programs find it's not over heated. I can turn it on right after it shuts down.
I also reinstalled the whole thing to facotry setting.But it still shuts down without warning.
PLease help me figure this out. It's just out of warranty!Does it shutdown after doing something in particular or is random?

After installing the latest version of IOS my iPhone 4s rapidly runs out of power, it also suddently (fully charged) shuts down and restarts without me asking for it. I tried to reinstall the latest version of IOS but it doesnt help. Any advice?
Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1aHi
Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook. -
Not a question. A comment actually. Regarding the persistent blue autofill box that may appear in Safari, my wife shut down the iMac then unplugged it for a few minutes. On restarting, the box was gone.
Do you have a question?

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...
EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested? -
