HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr overheats once in a while and shuts down

My fiancee has a laptop that overheats once in a while and shuts down. She says when she turns it back on, it gives an error saying "There's a thermal temperature of 90". Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? She says it doesn't happen when she's running alot of things, it just seems to happen sometimes. I have yet to see it happen or the error message.

Thank you. I will see if this works.

    my hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheating problem and shuts down suddenly.  please help..

    with that age of laptop we immediately suspect an issue with dust clogging the exhaust fan or the thermal compound between the heatsink and fan breaking down and needing to be replaced. The laptop needs to be opened and inspected in other words. 

  • Iphone overheats and shuts down when charging ?

    hello,
    since i have had my iphone 4s replace in april my iphone overheats and shuts down when charging?
    can anyone help?

    My 4S has recently shut down twice so far due to heat: Once in 100+ deg. in Arizona, when I left the phone in direct sunlight too long (that'll kill anything), and once just today, 96 deg. in Colorado, with the phone in my shirt chest pocket, not in direct sunlight. Each time, the phone was also encased in the hermetically sealed "Lifeproof" case, which probably contributed to heat build-up. If you're using a similar case with yours, either make sure to keep the phone in a cooler, shaded area, or just take it out of the case when the temps are this high. Definitely don't leave it in direct sunlight! In my case, although the 4S seems more heat-sensitive than my previous iPhones, I still find this behavior within acceptable parameters. But I wonder whether the overheating episodes might cause permanent damage...?

  • Macbook Air 2011 CPU Maxes Out then Overheats and Shuts Down...

    I've been having this problem for a while now but have learned to deal with it with SMC Fan Control to basically keep my fans maxed out at all times. This is obviously not ideal.
    The problem is that at any given time some small, random task in activity monitor shows CPU usage that is very high, often at least 50% CPU and other times as high as 120% It has happened with the tasks like dock, safari web content and virtually any other task you can imagine.
    For example, I just tried emptying my recycling bin and it hung half way through then my computer shut down. What is going on here?
    Details:
    - Macbook Air mid-2011 running Mavericks
    - Never have more than one app open at any given time, usually just Safari with about 5 tabs, max
    - 3rd party applications running in background include Dropbox, Copy, Backblaze, Flux, Sophos anti virus, Jumpcut, Caffeine and that's it
    If I'm doing something like a Time Machine backup, I have to disable Wifi, max out the fans and only then will the Macbook Air remain cool enough to complete the backup, otherwise the Time Machine process maxes out the CPU, overheats and shuts down. This happens with virtually everything now.
    How can I start trouble shooting this problem? I've run the hardware and system repair checks with no results, done an SMC reset, etc.
    This really seems like a software issue more than anything, like something related to the way tasks/processes are handled...any ideas anyone? This is such an annoying problem!

    Do the problems also occur in "Safe Mode"?
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • My iPod 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and the touch screen stops working. Then I have to hit the sleep button on and off to make it work

    My iPod touch 4th generation screen shakes back and forth every once in a while and won't let me use the touch screen. I have restored it at least 5 times to factory setting and it is still happening. The only way to stop it is to hit the sleep button off and then on again. It happens about once every 5 minutes. Please help.

    If you successfully (completed all steps without errors) restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • ZV6000 Overheats and shuts down

    My ZV6100 has started to overheat and shutdown. I have noticed the cooling fans are not coming on as the computer gets hot. However after overheating and shutting down if I wait a few minutes and restart the computer both fans come on and stay on. So it's like this, when I start the computer and its cold the cooling fans come on for a short time (at startup) and then go off. As the computer warms up and then gets hot the fans do not come on as they should to cool it back down. Any ideas?

    Try a hard reset of the bios, power down, unplug the power cord, remove the battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds, insert battery and connect power cord, power up, see if anything changes.

  • Need help? My laptop overheats and shuts down when up loading

    I installed Premier Elements 8 on Vista and finished my first video and when I try to upload through the share option to youtube Before 1/2 way my laptop overheats and shuts down. I have tried several times. I tried pluging laptop directly in to network so I was not uploading wireless. No luck. I also tried turning my screen down so it would make less heat. I dont know what else to try.

    What is happening is that the CPU and the HDD's are being stressed more than with most other operations. This is common and can be observed in places like Speedfan and Task Manager. There are a lot of files being written to, and read from. This is especially hard, if one only has a single internal HDD, as it must do so very much, and is being asked to do it all at the same time.
    In general, editing Video is about the toughest task that one can ask of a computer. The Export phase is about as tough as editing gets. If one is editing AVCHD footage, the CPU usage goes up even higher and almost exponentially!
    What you observe is not a fault of the software, but just how all NLE software must work.
    Unfortunately, most laptops are not properly equiped with adequate cooling to begin with. They also usually have a single HDD. That was why I went with an extreme "gaming" laptop to start, and then modified it for NLE work. It works fine, but I had to add the cooling pad, and Speedfan.
    Good luck,

  • My 4s overheats and shuts down

    When taking videos my iphone 4S overheats and shuts down after 6 to 10 minutes.  I took it out of its case so it's a white naked phone but the heats still does not disapate.  Any thoughts?

    Well the iPhone will shut down if it overheats .Since taking videos is processor intensive and screen is on , depending on outdoor temperature it might reach it's temperature limit and shut down .

  • HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.  The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the  40GB size I wanted through disk management.
    It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
    I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
    1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
    2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
    3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
    Thanks!!

    Hi RanSri,

    You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

  • TS1367 What to do when I do not hear the fan in my Powerbook G4 and it overheats and shuts down?

    My Powerbook G4 shut down in the middle of a power point creation. After a couple of days it booted up again. However, I do not hear the fan running the way it used to. I believe that the fan stopped working. I can use it but if kept on for more than 1/2 hour, it overheats and locks up. How do I get this fixed?

    Since Apple no longer is supporting the PB G4, you'll either have to find a fan for it on your own or find someone else to work on it for you.
