HP Laptop Quickly Shuts Down Due to Thermal Overheating

I have an HP laptop that quickly shuts down due to thermal overheating. If the laptop has been sitting for hours to cool off, it will shut down in <= 5 minutes.
Laptop Details:
Model: HP 2000-239WM
Processor: Celeron(k) Dual Core CPU T 3500
bios #: F.19, 6/16/2011
Things tried:
Took the computer apart and cleaned the fan with compressed air. As soon as you turn on the laptop, you can hear the fan running like mad.
Booted the system from a Live USB Drive version of Ubuntu
I would like to run a hardware diagnostic but the system responds saying that it will take 27 minutes and the laptop shuts down well before then.
Any ideas about what might be the problem or what else to try?
I would appreciate any help you could me.

You could try buying a external fan to set the laptop on when you use it to prevent overheating

I connected my iphone 4s that I unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. It told me it needed 8 hours. I closed my laptop, not shut down. I re-opened the laptop a few hours later, and it wants restoring?? Whats going on?! i want my iphone back! PLEASE HELP. I'M LOST!!! (I synced my iphone to my computer if that helps at all).

Yes, and, I try to restore. I have the T-Mobile sim card in it just to clarify. It will not let me get passed that, it does not accept the t-mobile sim card. i tried restoring it using wifi, cellular, and i cant get i tunes. I am scared that if i take the tmobile sim card out and put the at&t one in just to complete the restoration process that the iphone will lock again and not read the tmobile sim card, then all my hard work has gone for nothing. ( this whole process was caused by me trying wanting to empty my pictures onto my computer because i did not have any storage space left). <--- that may not be as important, but i included it just because.

My iTunes wont close and is preventing my laptop from shutting down

I plugged out my iPod touch when iTunes was asking me whether I wanted an update or not, and now iTunes wont close and has frozen, preventing my laptop from shutting down. I have intel Celeron inside and Windows 7.

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

Just updated my RAM and now iMac shuts down "due to error" when in FCPX

Hi there,
So, I just purchased FCPX last week. Edited one of my projects only to find that my RAM is overloaded and isn't allowing my computer to handle to workload. Therefore I upgraded my RAM today to the max (16GB). Get my iMac home and up and running, everything looks good. I start up FINAL CUT PRO X, load my Library.....then boom.....shut down "due to error". THREE TIMES. Below is my system and info on new RAM. PLEASE HELP ASAP AS THIS IS TIME SENSITIVE! I upgraded my RAM due to the suggestion that it would solve my slow rendering/choppy video playback in FCPX.
Thanks. Ashley

Mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

When shut down and rebooted, the Mac OS X does background maintenance on the system. That can solve minor issues.
Beyond this, it is a good idea to run Disk Repair yourself just to make sure.
Reboot with the option key held down. On the screen that comes up select the Recovery disk icon and Continue.
On the next screen Clcik Disk Utility and Continue.
In DU, in the list on the left select the drive to be repaired - click the item that is indented to the right, not an an item whose name starts on the far left.
Click First Aid, then Repair Disk.
After that is done, quit DU and restart as usual.

Laptop doesnt shut down properly or sleep

There seems to be a big problem with my laptop. It seems to not shut down properly, or awake from sleep properly. When it goes to sleep, you need to hold down the power button to turn it off, then turn it back on again Also when you shut it down, the fan seems to be on, the light on the power button seems to be on, so you once again have to hold down the power button to turn it off that way to turn it back on I've updated the bios and rolled them back, and still getting this problem Pavilion p157na Thanks

IPod shuts down due to "low battery" even when fully recharged

OK..
I got big problems with my iPod battery.
I've already sent my iPod to Apple once, but they returned it saying nothing is wrong and giving "helpful" tips about turning the backlight off in order to make the battery last longer..
Well, I sorta disagree about there not being any problem. And I did feel a bit insulted about the claim that my iPod is not malfunctioning as well as the hints about me being a retard who needs to be told that using the backlight continuously might have an affect on battery life.
(but in case my retardedness is to blame for all my problems with my iPod, please let me know. )
During he last 2 months or so, the iPod keeps shutting down due to "low battery" even though it's been connected to the USB port for, like, 20 hours straight.
Tried different ports and computers without any luck.
The recharging-icon is usually moving while connected to the computer, but I don't get the "battery is fully loaded" message (or icon?) anymore.
Sometimes when the iPod has shut itself down due to low battery, it can still be used for ~10 hours by turning it on/resetting multiple times. When that happens, the battery icon is at first "empty", but then bar suddenly goes to half full.
I also suspect that resetting it 7 times before plugging it into a USB-port helps. Occasionally.
No way to tell if there's 15 hours or 15 seconds life left in he battery. I just got got home from a 2 x 8,5 hour flight and the iPod shut down right after the first take-off So.. yeah.. I'm ****** off atm.:/
I've tried all the tricks I've found on the net (resetting, software updates etc.) but nothing helps.
Don't know if it could have any relevance, but it seems like the problem appears more often when playing audio books - long mp3 files, that is...
Help, anyone? Pretty please?
PC Windows XP

I have the exact same problem. About 2 weeks before the end of my 1-year warranty, I contacted Apple about the problem. They sent a box with prepaid shipping (I paid for it) and I sent the iPOD back to Apple. Today, I checked the status of my repair and the screen reads:
Step 1 - Request
Product received (05-Apr-2006)
Step 2 - Service
No trouble found (11-Apr-2006)
Step 3 - Return
Original product shipped (11-Apr-2006)
I contacted Apple Customer Service and was told that they ran diagnostics and nothing was wrong with the unit. I asked them if it mattered that I noticed problems with the iPOD that they don't seem to see and they said no. They said the problem could be with my charger, but I told them that I recently lost my charger and had used several different chargers that work with other peoples iPODs just fine. I even left it to charge overnight and the next day I could barely play one song. The woman I spoke with told me that if I had any problems with the iPOD after it was returned to me, I would have to send it back (they would not provide the box) and pay $225 since it is no longer in warranty .
My problem is that the unit was in warranty when I sent it, they didn't fix it (they couldn't find this very obvious problem), and now it isn't in warranty. The only way I can listen to music is to plug it into an A/C outlet while it is playing. My other option is to buy another mp3 player.
Has anyone else had this problem? Have you found a solution? Thanks!

Laptop is shutting down for no reason

I've been having this problem where my Toshiba Satellite M205-S4806 laptop just shuts off for some unknown reason.
Windows Vista is not telling the laptop to shut down, the laptop just dies on it's own.
I have done some reading online and it seems to be a common problem where dust gets clogged up in the laptop's fan which causes the machine to shut immediately shut off to prevent damage to the processor.
I'm not sure if this is my exact problem because sometimes I have have the laptop on for hours and it will eventually shut down, other times I will only have it on for 5 minutes and it just shuts off.
I have already reformatted my machine several times so any other ideas on how to solve this issue before I have to take apart this laptop to clean it?
-Aaron

For all models identified, ensure sufficient air flow is occurring and the fan/exhaust unit are cleaned, helps with the overheating issue. Check your power supply unit, if it is way too hot to the touch feasible it is time for replacement. Also, check the quality surge protector you are using for its operation, indicator light is not blinking-just steady light. Check your START/SEARCH type in eventvwr, locate systems log and open same and locate any erorr[s] listed and open same to learn what the problem was. Remove the battery and see if the condition continues.

Can you point me to the setting that reopens all word documents on startup after the laptop shuts down due to loss of power? I'm a mac book pro user. Many thanks!

It'd be great if you could also advise on reopening safari windows on start up. I'm after the setting that helps us restore everything only after shutdown due to loss of power and not all the time! Thanks!

The option is in System Perferences on the General section (first Icone in Sys Perf) down near the bottom.
It's called "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
But that may not be the setting your are looking for.
There is also a setting on the Shut Down and Restart windows that says "Reopen windows when logging back in".
But is you computer shutting OFF, "I Mean Really Shutting OFF", or just going into Sleep mode.
If it is really turning complete off then that setting is not saved. For that to work the computer has to be shut down or re-started properly allowing the OS to save that App state.

Laptop keeps shutting down and restarting after touchpad dies

Trying to decide ehat went wacky on a friend;s Toshiba SATELLITE S105-3713 laptop (running WIndows Vista Home Premium).
FIRST: touchpad just stopped working; I hodeb up an external mouse and checked out the device manager - no touchpad existed at all! Went rhough Control Panel - same thing! As if there were no touchpad installed.
THEN: Decided to donwlad and reinstall the driver but as I typed it was as if something else had control of the keybaord - characters I entered were deleted as if the backspace key had been hit, or I selected a website and no sooner got there but I was returned back to the initial search screen.
Ran a quick anti-virus scan and came up with nothing. Then I deleted the old Synaptic Touchpad driver, rebooted and re-installed the driver from a flash drive (I had downloaded from the Toshiba support site using another PC). Still no touchpad finction and system still behaving as if a ghost had contgrol of the keybaord and the pinting device.
NOW HERE IT GETS WEIRD! Decided to shut the laptop down for the night but each time it shut down it staarted right up again! Finallyhad to pull the power cord and the battery.
So...is it possible there is a nasty virus in here? Or could a system short / partial failure cause this crazy behavior?
This is a backup system for my friend - has anew laptop with all current data on it so this one is not critical.
Should I try reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the OS? Or could htere be a hardware problem not worth fixing?
Help! Thanks - Cindy

Laptop suddenly shuts down with battery at +60%

Hey guys,
So i had my laptop for a 6 month now, it is an MSI GT683DX Windows 8.1/Updated from Win 7 HP, but recently i did a battery calibration using the offical MSI software (it just charges and decharges the laptop)
But now, my laptop would just die randomly whenever it is off the charger.
The symptoms are:
When not plugged in, it would just die randomly. It won't do a proper shutdown/sleep/hibernate, it just goes black, as if you pull the power on a desktop.
About a month ago, the windows battery indicator would be a little off, sometimes it would show 15% left, where i would get a message indicating that it is at 15%. However, if i dont plug it in, it would suddenly show a message saying it has 2% left, and then just shut off immediatly. I have fixed this by setting the low and critical battery warnings higher, and didn't have a problem since.
So i think something is wrong with the windows battery meter, for example, the battery is actually empty and windows thinks it is at 80%. So can't finish properly calibration process it will just shut down and thinks that have 0% but I know that is fully charged and forced shut down at 60% or 70% ??
Is there a way to reset the windows battery stats? Or should i let the laptop totally run itself dead, by letting it shut off, powering on, and repeating this until it would not boot?
Any help appreciated

Hi, may I know your OS is MSI OEM WIN7 HP or it is a retail version?
Have you updated the drivers, BIOS, EC after upgrade to WIN8.1?
Also you can remove MSI SCM and check if the problem still exists.
A better way to judge it is battery hardware problem or OS problem is to recover the OS to MSI factory default and check again. I guess you haven't build any MSI OS recovery DVD before, so this way can't work. Then maybe you need the help of repair center.
Hi, thanks for help
So when I buy laptop it was WIN 7 Home Premium OEM and later I see some discount for Win 8 to upgrade machine..
Now using Win 8.1 and I don't think is OS problem, force shut down start to happening after I run MSI Battery Calibrate software.
Bios is not upgraded since win 7
Drivers and scm running fine all from Msi site as well
EC updated whit last version
So laptop running fine but it seems that I make mistake when I decided to run calibrate software due to max 5-10% error on battery counter..Now its 60% :-) I am afraid that my battery is dead...

T400 Not shutting down due to driver error.

Hello!
I have recently purchased a refurbished IBM ThinkPad T400 (TYPE: 2767 DM9). The laptop came shipped with Windows XP SP2 Professional 32 Bit; originally in great working condition. However, I had it upgraded to Windows 7 SP1 32Bit Professional (Clean installation) so as to run my applications on Windows 7 platform. My machine works in an overall great condition except the fact that I am not able to install some missing drivers.
I tried looking for driver support at Lenovo but unfortunately, it displays a list of drivers that are not exactly needed by my system - the driver martix at lenovo is somewhat not reflecting exact drivers for my system. When I try and look intot the device manager, there is a unknown device found for which, I even tried windows search for driver update but all in vain.
There is a SIM slot in the battery pack module not sure what it is or what it does. Perhaps there is an LED next to my WiFi LED indicator that is not turning up. I have installed rest all other drivers but somehow, something is missing and not sure what! I even did a system update through system upgrade but that didn't help either.
When I try to shut down my system, it hangs and gets heated where in, I have to manually force the application to close and then only, system would shut down.
System details:
IBM ThinkPad T400 Type: 2767 DM9
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 32Bit SP1
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 160GB
Video: ATI Radeon
I would be really glad if some one can be of any help in this forum.

There is a definite device conflict/driver missing on the system due to which, system is hanging up during shutdown. Unfortunately, lenovo doesn't support a utility to download the exact device drivers based on the model number - it rather lists a dreadful list of device drivers which aren't even meant for my for system. For instance, the list for my Wireless WAN goes like this...
Lenovo Mobile Broadband Activation (Ericsson F3507g, Qualcomm Gobi1000, Qualcomm Gobi2000) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Qualcomm HS-USB Wireless WAN (UNDP) driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) , Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) and XP
Qualcomm HS-USB Wireless WAN (UNDP) for Gobi 1000 NV Updater Tool for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Windows 7 Mobile Broadband, Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) and XP
Now, how the hell would I know which is meant for my system? And this happened even after selecting my exact system which is T400 Type 2767 DM9.

Pxi655x automatic shut down due to over temperature

I have a PXI-1045 chassis with the following pxi boards installed,
1. PXI 6602 x 1
2. pxi 6534 x 3
3. pix5411 x 1
4. pxi4070 x 1
The whole system works fine, however after I installed 3 pxi 6551 in the pxi chassis, I always encounter the problem that the pxi 6551 boards will shut down automatically due to over temperature, and the message showed that I need to switch the system off. Has anyone come across similar problem? Sometimes it happens even when I have not run any LabVIEW programme...Could anyone give me some advice?

It sounds like you have a pretty full chassis but I don't see anything that should cause an immediate thermal shutdown. Here are a few things to check:
1 - Is your chassis operating at room temperature (ie 27 C)?
2 - Are your PXI chassis fans on and unimpeded? If not make sure they are on "High". Also make sure the filters on the chassis fans are clean and there is air space behind the chassis to allow air flow.
3 - Are your 655x boards in adjacent slots? If so try spacing them out or putting your other boards between them. This should reduce the concentration of heat in your chassis. Also verify that any unused PXI slots are covered with slot blocking (blank) panels. This maintains ideal airflow inside of the chassis.
4 - Do the three 655x boards work when they are the only devices in the chassis?
The thermal shutdown is meant to prevent the 655x from operating outside of its legal thermal range. This guarantees the device specifications can be met and ensures the product won't fail due to overtemperature.
