HP DV-6822TX heating and randomly shutting down
Hi,
Ive had this HP DV6822TX for over 3 years now and its been working happily. Ive had Windows 7 for over 6 months and its been all hunky dory. Recently, Ive noticed that the back of laptop heats quite a lot and sometimes it shuts down and doesn't want to re-start (immediately). If I let it cool down for about half an hour no problems. I was running speed fan it seems to be going at 60deg Celsius. I thought it might be the GPU so I changed the battery power profile to 'balanced' instead of the full blown usage. That didnt seem to help either, so I decreased the brightness.
I'm just wondering if the Laptop needs new parts (GPU) or just better drivers. Could even be the battery but it seems to be charging quite well. I thought I once heard that the default battery charging pack was re-called for this model...
Thanks,
Many times a laptop overheating is directly related to the cooling of the processor. The main culprit is the fan. The fan sucks in air from the bottom and blows it out the side. It will also suck in hair, dust, and other debris. That stuff often gets trapped by the heat sink and over time builds up in a layer which chokes off the cool air going to the processor making the fan work harder.

What I recommend is getting some canned air and blowing out the vents in the side and bottom of the laptop. If after doing this you still have problems with over-heating, and your laptop is in warranty, you can take your laptop to a HP Authorized Service Center and ask them to clean the fan and heatsink. You can check your warranty here:
http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/ewarranty/warrantyResults.do?admit=109447627+1286541891570+28353475
If it is out of warranty, consider searching for the maintenance manual for your specific model, in the manual there are schematics for taking apart the laptop. Cleaning the fan is much easier that removing a motherboard, so don't feel to intimidated by the idea. Also you can remove the heatsink and then remove the thermal grease and apply a new layer which also helps alleviate heat related issues.

My hp compaq presario62 has been over heating and mostly shut down what can i do
my hp compaq presario62 has been over heating and mostly shut down what can i do?
You can try a usb cooling pad but I am not a big fan of them....if your laptop needs one there is a problem that needs to be fixed. The likely issue is a clogged fan and cooling system which requires disassembly and cleaning out around the fan and heatsink, removing the heatsink and appplying new thermal compound. You can also perhaps help by using compressed air blown into the heat vents.

When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!
The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
For the other problem.
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
Discolouration and random shut downs - help!
Hello,
I am having serious problems with my MacBook and right now I am losing faith in Apple, frankly. I am not a troll, and I recently posted a very reasonable post asking for advice which was deleted by the admins without any explanation. What really angers me is that I develop software for this platform, and I have a best-selling novellist calling my application "the biggest advance in writing software since the word processor". Despite this, when I post my grievances (in a very reasonable and calm way) and ask for advice here, my post is deleted.
I bought a MacBook when they first came out. Whithin three weeks, it suffered from discolouration, so I phoned AppleCare and the very helpful folks there agreed to take it in for repair. So, it went in, and three days later (great!), I received it back. Whilst it was in for repair, the engineers also replaced the hard drive, as apparently during their standard tests it was revealed that the one that came with the machine was about to fail - even though it was only two weeks old. I was also disappointed to see that the engineers had chipped the polycarbonate whilst replacing the top-casing and that they had failed to replace the screen bezel, which was also discolouring. On top of this, the new top-casing wasn't fitted properly. Still, I decided to see how things went, as I did not want to be without my computer again.
Three weeks later, my machine was discoloured again, so I phoned AppleCare again. Again, they took it in and I was without my machine for nearly two weeks this time. When I got it back, they had replaced the top-casing (again), the screen bezel and the polycarbonate bottom casing. It looked brand new, so I was happy.
Happy for three weeks, that is. After that, the discolouration returned. Am I the only one who has suffered discolouration repeatedly? Is this still an issue for anyone else? Or have I just been particularly unlucky? I wash my hands, and I don't see that it can be some weird Ph problem, given that my 3-year-old white iBook has no such problems.
Anyway, after two "repairs" with no resolution, I decided to give up and put up with the discolouration. My new machine may look old and dirty, but at least it worked and was generally a joy to use... Until a couple of days ago, that is. Two days ago, I switched on my machine and three minutes later it shut itself down for now reason. I only had Mail and Camino running, nothing else. After that, every time I tried to boot up, it shut down within seconds - it barely even got to the Apple logo.
Is this the random shut down issue I am hearing about?
The only way I could get it up and running was to hold down the power button until it beeped. Once I did that, I verified the hard drive and it did have errors. So I fixed it using the install disk and hoped for the best. But two days later, upon booting up, it shut back down again. So I called AppleCare (who are always brilliant and helpful), and they walked me through resetting my PRAM. I then left my machine on, and other than the fan running more than usual, it seemed okay.
But then, when I booted up my machine this morning, it did nothing. It got to the grey screen, and then I just got lots of coloured vertical lines, nothing more. I tried restarting several times, holding down the power button etc, but nothing helped. Eventually, I just reset the PRAM again, and this managed to get the computer booted.
So now, obviously I am very worried. I thought these shut down issues only happened after start up, but about half an hour ago it happened after having the machine running for three hours. I tried calling AppleCare today but I was on hold for one hour, after which I had to hang up as I had an appointment. Frankly, I have paid £300 for AppleCare, and whilst the AppleCare reps are always great and more than helpful, it is just not good enough to pay this amount of money and then be put on hold for an hour. I have spent my savings on this machine and it looks dirty and old despite being only four months' old, and now it is shutting down randomly on me. I have lost all faith in it. I am upset, and now, to add insult to injury, mods on this forum deleted a post in which I was, if anything, over-complimentary about the way AppleCare have dealt with my issues, and they did so with no explanation. On reflection, perhaps it was the title of that post, so I hope this one will fare better, as checking the terms of agreement I believe I am abiding by them.
I would just like to know if others have suffered from similar issues with their MacBooks, and how they have dealt with them. I would really like a new machine, right now, but I will be reasonable, of course. I think this is a valid question for this forum, and if the mods feel they need to remove this post, I would be very grateful if they could e-mail me and tell me why rather than leaving me feeling like I am being silenced.
Has anybody been able to fix this random shutdown issue without sending it for repair? Have repairs been successful? Is anybody else still suffering from discolouration?
Many thanks in advance for any help and advice. Please let me reiterate: I have spent the past two years dedicating all of my spare time developing a program for OS X, so I am committed to this platform. I am not a troll, just a customer with genuine problems.
Thank you in advance for any advice,
KeithI was in the middle of replying to your previous post when your post disappeared. That was interesting.
Two
days ago, I switched on my machine and three minutes
later it shut itself down for now reason. I only had
Mail and Camino running, nothing else. After that,
every time I tried to boot up, it shut down within
seconds - it barely even got to the Apple logo.
Is this the random shut down issue I am hearing
about?
I would say yes.
The only way I could get it up and running was to
hold down the power button until it beeped.
This throttles the CPUs to 1 GHz. Heat is somehow integral to the problem.
Once I
did that, I verified the hard drive and it did have
errors. So I fixed it using the install disk and
hoped for the best. But two days later, upon booting
up, it shut back down again. So I called AppleCare
(who are always brilliant and helpful), and they
walked me through resetting my PRAM. I then left my
machine on, and other than the fan running more than
usual, it seemed okay.
If the fan is running excessively often and loudly, try resetting the PMU:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
(This also resets PRAM.)
But then, when I booted up my machine this morning,
it did nothing. It got to the grey screen, and then I
just got lots of coloured vertical lines, nothing
more. I tried restarting several times, holding down
the power button etc, but nothing helped. Eventually,
I just reset the PRAM again, and this managed to get
the computer booted.
There is a bug in 10.4.7 that causes the vertical line problem after PRAM is reset. Once you have reset PRAM, go to Displays, set the screen resolution to anything else, then change it back. This trick writes to PRAM and makes the fix "stick".
Has anybody been able to fix this random shutdown
issue without sending it for repair?
Not that I know of. Some have postponed repair with repeated workarounds like the 1 GHz throttle.
Have repairs
been successful?
Apparently yes. My machine had the heat sink replaced and has not had a problem in the intervening month. Rumor has it that current repairs entail replacing the logic board and heat sink with a newly redesigned combination. -
Black screen and random shut down
When on battery power my ibook G4 will randomly do one of two things: the display will go almost completely black, or it randomly "shuts down" (although I can still hear the fan) and will not turn back on. For the frist problem closing the lid and putting it to sleep are sufficient to fix it. For the second I either have to hold down the power key in which case it acts like it shuts down, or I have to remove the battery. Both problems happen while on battery power and has happened while running a lot of programs and only a few. I brought it into a an Apple store a couple months ago and the genius reset PMU and reinstalled the operating system as well I think. It worked for a while but has now begun acting up again. Any ideas? Thanks.
Ok so, unfortunately I have no answer (and this is my 3rd try posting this because my g4 kept shutting down) Anyway for about the last week my ibook g4 has been shutting down for no reason. Even w/a full charge. The only way I can get it to restart is to plug it in. I'm also getting a weird error message sometime when it restarts that says "your date/time is set to a date before 2001 so some applications may behave erratically" or something. However, the time and date are set to the current date and time. Also,sometimes when it restarts there is an outgoing e-mail that pops up saying this has not been sent. However it has been sent, according to the sent box and the recipients.
yuk, I hate problems, I don't want problems. -
Handbrake and Random Shut Down
I have a second generation iMac G5 with EMC #2056. I know there is a repair extension for Power Supply issues, but I am trying other things first. I have been ripping DVD's using HandBrake and it started randomly shutting down. I have tried to reset the PRAN and NVRAM as well as reseting the SMU. Has anyone else had this issue, if so any fixes? I am now trying just playing a DVD to see if it shuts down, if so I am afraid it is the power supply issue. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Here is a little info that may help you.
There are a couple of things to bare in mind when trying to copy with a Mac.
Not all burners that Apple uses in there machines are the same. Not all burners used from one machine can always be recognised by another machine.
Not all burners are capable of burning the higher speed media. Here is a link on Quality and use it.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Let the software do the work, steer clear of using the manual settings and always burn at the lower speeds for your best Quality.
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
I personally use Maxell 16X DVD-R and if you read the back of this Media you will see that it will burn at 1X 2X 4X 8X and 16X thus allowing you to use it in the older burners as well as the newer burners. Be sure you read the back of the jewel cases not all of these will burn at lower speeds.
Don't forget to follow some of the recommended steps in Gullivers link to keep the caches clean especially if you do a lot of burning. If you do a lot of burning it stores the info of your projects on your machine and will cause error's. I use Majanitor, Cache Out X, and Onyx once a week need to or not.

Display gradient, humming when dimmed, and random shut downs
On the iMac alum. intel 20" display.
3 problems after 2 days from purchase, and from reading the recent threads, I'm not the only one. I've been a hardcore apple user for the past 10 years, and i have never been so disappointed. After reading that the gradient effect is common among most of new Alum. iMacs, i am left with a very ill feeling in my stomach. Taking it back to the Apple Store tomorrow. I've read other posts were people have returned up to 3 machines, all come back with the same problem. Should i just get a refund now, or try another replacement?

Message was edited by: CyberhawkBought a brand new iMac 24" 3.06GHz 4GB MEM 1TB HD 2 weeks ago.
Soft hum, but enough to go nuts.
Returned it, and today got a new one.
Same story.
I've read about this hum on different fora and ppl try to locate the problem.
But I noticed putting the system 2 feet from a wall actually solves the problem. Now that's great if your desk is in the middle of the room, but not the case here.
So this one's going back as well and I don't want another one.
I have a white 20" and a recent aluminum 20" model both are DEAD SILENT. No hum, no squeeck, nothing...
I think it's a serious flaw of the 24". At first I thought this new 3.06GHz processor needed some serious cooling but seems the 2.8GHz suffers the same problem.
If you install iStat Pro from www.islayer.com one can read the fan speeds.
1198-1200 rpm all the time and according to others it's same on both 2.8 and 3.06 models.
So I think Apple missed something here or they all have their pc's @ least 2 feet from a wall. -
MacBook randomly shutting down
My mac will shut down without warning when Im using battery power. Sometimes it won't turn back on until I attach it to the power cord. My battery is always charged when this happens.
Whats wrong with it?!?Hi there,
I have had battery and random shut down issues as well.
Got my Macbook last July and loved it until about April, then...
It started with the battery light switching from orange to green repeatedly. I tried re-calibrating the battery (which I do every couple of month as instructed in the user manual)and noticed that it would just shut down when the battery got low rather than give me a warning.
I took it in to an apple technician store in Montréal Canada to see what was up, they changed the logic board. They did nothing to the battery. They said it was a logic board problem. I brought my repaired macbook back home and everything was fine for a few days.
I started to experience random shutdowns in the following days, and the battery problem re-appeared. I brought it back in and they replaced the logic board again. They did nothing about the battery. I brought my repaired macbook home and everything was fine for a few days... And then it started random shutting down and doing all sorts of weird battery stuff again.
Is it odd that the apple store just kept replacing the logic board, eventhough it seems quite obvious that this is a battery problem?
Would calling AppleCare be wiser than going back to the technicians (I subscribed to apple care recently as I don't see an close end to the problems that I am having)? -
Random shut down and whole screen flickers
Today my Mac Book Pro started to act really strange. It randomly shut down on me with over two hours of battery life left. A complete shut down, not into sleep mode or anything. Turning it back on it seemed the desktop and everything on it flickered to black for a full second before going back in. The screen is doing that on and off and I'm half expecting it to shut down on me again.
I have used it intensively for the last few days with gaming. World of Warcraft to be specific. My desktop is down and my laptop was the only thing I had to use to distract myself from things so... meh.
Could it have just begun over heating? Its worth noting that I hadn't had a intensive application like a game running for at least an hour before it began acting up.
So.. what's going on with my laptop, any idea?Those of you who have 15" MBP's from early 2006 should have a look at the battery replacement program outlined at https://support.apple.com/macbookpro15/batteryexchange/
Some others may need to install the MacBookPro battery update - see http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Finally, in some cases , if the above programs don't apply to you, it is possible that your battery is failing for other reasons, and therefore needs replacing, or that the computer's SMC needs resetting - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
As a general "first step" when confronted with problems like these it is often worth a glance at the general MBP support page at http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro/

Random shut down and wonky touchpad/button
Hello!
I've noticed that for the past few months, when I begin to type something, I often have problems with the text highlighting unexpectedly. Sometimes what I've been typing gets deleted, other times I'm taken back to a few pages prior. I have problems clicking on links at times. Either the button wants to click on 12 different things at once, or it doesn't seem to want to click at all, just highlighting. It's a constant struggle with the touchpad button.
About a week ago my mac also started to spontaneously shut down. Possibly when it gets too hot? I can't seem to find a pattern to it, and it's shut down on its own both plugged in and on battery power.
My hard drive is about 2 years old now, but the computer is 3. Is this the result of too much use or can something be done to troubleshoot?I've had that random shut-down problem for a week now. It did it again a few minutes ago. I thought it might have been a heat-related problem, but I have the back of the computer propped up to increase the ventilation on the rear.
I've had that sticky mouse problem several months now, ever since the local shop replaced the trackpad-plate. I didn't ask the shop to replace; I took the computer in to replace the failed hard drive. But the plate had been chipping around the edges, and apparently Apple had a secret warranty on the plate, so the shop replaced the chipped cover for free. Shortly afterward the mouse started sticking and acting weird. I think I have found a work-around by not placing my thumbs on the mouse. The mouse seems to be elevated now; when I close the lid while the computer is on, the pressure on the mouse causes the computer to activate whatever the cursor is on. -
Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro Random Shut down and Restart
I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
Thanks for the help...
Cheers,

Mar 22, 2015, 09:48:48 PM /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Kernel_2015-03-22-214848_[redacted].panic [Click for details]I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
Thanks for the help...
Cheers,

Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts Down and Restarts
Hi There,
This issue appears to have occured for other people in different forms but there does not appear to have been a conclusive answer to the problem, so here's hoping someone here might be able to provide some further insight into the issue, and with some luck, a solution.
I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 (plugged-in to power) that has started to randomly shut down and then restart itself (goes through all the start up screens; Apple logo etc.). It doesn't appear to be just a straight restart of the machine, but it shuts down, and then a couple of seconds later, reboots, as though it is two different actions...
The computer does this pretty randomly, and now quite often. It happens when applications are running, Safari for example, and when nothing is running and i just go to open Finder or use Spotlight.
I haven't had this issue in the past (some 3+ years of full time use now) and as far as i'm aware, nothing changed on the computer immediately prior to the issue occuring (no updates, installs etc.).
I've checked the systen log which, each time the issue occurs, returns the message 'Previous Shutdown Cause: -128'. I've sought reference as to what this refers to, but it would appear to be a mystery to the WWW.
I have tried the following solutions with no success:
- Proper restart and reboot of system;
- Repair permissions;
- Reset SMC;
- Reinstall OS X.
Any thoughts on what the problem is, what the '-128' refers to, or what more i can try to solve the issue?
Your help is much appreciated! Thanks.I know this is a really old thread, and everyone's probably already bought new computers now. However, I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing this very frustrating issue. However, I think I just found a way to open a finder window that prevents the shut down. In Finder>Preferences>General, under "New Finder windows show", I had "All my files" selected (BAD?), which probably was the cause, because setting that to "Desktop" instead has prevented shut downs, for now. Just thought I should share this tip, in case anyone else suffers from this annoying issue. If anyone has a better tip or a real fix, please post a reply! There are still people, like myself, working on these older machines who would appreciate the info. THANKS!

My iPhone 4 randomly shut down and won't turn back on.
My iPhone randomly shut down whenever I got a phone call twice in maybe 5 minutes. Now it wont turn on no matter how many times I plug it in or use the home and lock button. Is there anything I can do? After the first time it just turned back on but now it won't.
I just had this happen. Hold the lock and home button down for ten seconds.

MacBook randomly shut down, and won't turn back on
First of all, hello. Secondly, I've got a problem with my MacBook: about half an hour ago, it randomly shut down and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. Instead, the backlight kept flickering at the tempo that something inside the computer was "clicking", and the longer I held the power button, the more "clicks" there were. Needless to say, I've tried charging the battery, resetting the SMC, and to no avail: I still can't power it up, even when I don't use my battery. Whether I use it or not, the MacBook still "clicks" during my pressing of the power button and stops "clicking" when I release it. My MacBook is a year old. Can someone help me out here?
Me too. Any resolution? I don't want to take it to my local apple place because they're retards, but according to the info on my warranty that's the only place available. Can't believe they don't have an RMA service direct to Cupertino, what a joke.

Ok so I'm a design student at a community college (about to graduate soon and will be continuing on getting my BFA) I have all of the creative cloud suite. I have Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, etc. Recently I started having problems with all of the programs. Whenever I work in the programs they would run extremely slow. Recently, I tried to save a .eps file that was only about 1.2 GB and it took me an hour to save, and this was when I was working off of my computer desktop. When I place the .eps file in Indesign, everything would go blank and it would freeze up. Also I had an error sign popping up from InDesign saying "out of memory". Im not sure if that is related to my computer's hard drive or indesign itself. I just started using creative suite so the creative suite is pretty new to me. Sometimes in Indesign when I do the Command+w to preview the whole project, it would be completely black and showing nothing and I would hit escape and the whole software screws up. Then I would do a force quit on the software and then Indesign would say there was a serious error and must shut down. That error message has been popping up several times now. I also talked to Apple support and they suggested me doing a Repair disk utility (which I am currently doing right now) and also recommended me contacting Adobe since they know their software. I checked software to see if there is any updates that is needed but everything is up to date. I'm not quite sure why its acting like this so I'm reaching out both to Apple and Adobe to see if both can help me solve the problem. If anybody had experienced this problem before and could help me troubleshoot this issue that would be great.
I installed the creative suite about a year ago, and this just started happening last weekend. I didn't think it would be a problem and that it would last for a day since I was working on InDesign all day and Illustrator and it usually goes away after I finish using the programs. But this has been occurring for about a week now and has not gone away. and yes the other programs are running slow. I was trying to resize some images for a client and Photoshop was acting extremely slow when I was trying to resize the image and also place an image into a 8x10 document in Photoshop. I'm not sure how to find my system specifications.
All design programs running extremely slow and takes forever to save and sometimes shuts down randomly?
