HP Probook 4540s Sudden Shutdown Without any Warning

I have a HP Probook 4540s laptop bought in November 2012. It has Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50 Ghz chip with 8 gb ram and 500 GB hard disk. Till 2014 it was all OK. But now it has started giving me problems like it shut downs when it is at low battery say just about to reach 10 %. No low battery message just complete shut down(bam, screen goes dark). Now I have done the following steps
1. Battery has been calibrated it did solve the problem but it again started to happen.
2. I got my laptop's fan replaced 28 days back on i guess Jan 5, 2015 and vents are clean
3. I use Hardware Monitor Software to monitor the temperature and the results are as follows :
>> During Normal Operations it remains between 50 to 55 C (is it Normal ?) What should be the ideal temperature ?
>> Hard Disk temp is 60 to 64 C.
4. I use battery saver mode and everything set to normal
5. Drivers and BIOS Updated
6. Used HP Support Assistant to check battery health it shows OK.
7. I have changed the values also like I set the critical level,low battery and reserve battery but i guess that also not working.
Now My Question is
1. Is it due to overheating ? During normal operations like when plugged in it doesn't shutdown. Works Perfectly.
2. Or the battery is giving me trouble and needs to be replaced. After 100% charge it gives me around say 1 hr 30 mins of use but when it is about to hit 11 or 10% the system shuts down.
Please provide me with a solution
P.S. I don't use my laptop for gaming

My Macbook when run on battery after 40% shuts off without a warning. Is there a way to avoid it? Is there a setting in the battery preferences where I can change to avoid shut down?

If you can suggest me with the above problem will be of great help. Thank you in advance.

Same issues here:
- When powering the MB on the battery, the MB can go off suddenly without warning, usually at about 20% but, since it started about 2 months ago, it occurred also at 7%, between 30 and 40% and even 70% once… It occurs every time when on batteries. And every time, if I start the computer again, it will shut down suddenly without warning after a few seconds/minutes. When back on mains, it can be powered on normally. It does not go to sleep, it's a complete and sudden power off without warning.
- The battery at about 173 cycles sees its capacity dwindling way too much (it's been dwindling since day one, but it's going down faster and faster, the graph since November 2007 in MiniBatteryLogger is edificatory). The capacity right now is between 2900 and 3460 depending of the feel of the day. It's been calibrated regularly since day one in July 2007. Note that the capacity dwindled from its original capacity but never went higher than this value even if along the way it recovered sometimes more capacity.
I have tried all the tricks from calibrating a little bit more often, reseted the SMC, even a complete system reinstall (that I wanted to do anyway as I had to get rid of the evil spotlight bug). All this to no avail.
So what? :-/

Satellite A30 always shutdown without any prior warning

Hi all,
i'm having a problem with my Satellite A30 notebook. It will always shutdown without any prior warning. But the thing is i don think its a heating issue with the fans. The notebook will only shut down if im running the laptop on high power or on full power by the AC adapter. Tasks that may be taxing like full system virus scan or playing games will cause it to shutdown after about 20 minutes again only on high battery power setting or if its connect to mains and is set on full power. Using word or simple tasks do not affect it.
Now im thinking there may be a problem with my cpu as it cannot handle it when it has to perform advanced tasks on my notebook. What could the problem be?? On low power my notebook will work fine even when its performing these advanced tasks it's only a problem when its on full or high power.
Any help/advice?

Hi
Thanks for the description I'm still thinking its a overheating problem.
The notebook power saver controls different power modes if the notebook runs with AC adaptor or with full power the power saver uses different power mode as when the notebook will run with battery only.
The different power modes support different CPU settings and different cooling method.
Probably the CPU runs with full performance and getting hot when the AC adaptor is connected.
I think you should check the cooling modules and fans. Try to clean it carefully with vacuum cleaner. But if you have no experience with such procedures then asks a technician or someone with more experience

PSE 9 reboots my machine without any warning message..

I am using Photoshop elements 9. i brought it recently. And the installation went
well.. but when i am using the software, my machine reboots without any warning message.
My System Configuration: INtel Pentium 2.19GH, 80GB Hard Disk and 2GB RAM. and operating system is XP.
Please help me in this regard.. what needs to be done...???

Hi,
Since nobody else is coming up with ideas for your problem, I'll let you know my thoughts.
As the system is suddenly rebooting, I tend to feel you might have a hardware problem. PSE 9 does use a lot of resource when it is working and could be causing the hardware to fail.
Just a few questions first:
1) how much free space on your disk drive?
2) does the system reboot when using any other software?
I have seen similar failures caused by overheating - sometimes a fan fails and needs replacing. Other causes could be a problem with the power supply unit - the extra processing load can sometimes cause the voltages to drop.
Since you said about the screen becomes blurry sometimes, it could be that there is a problem with the graphics card.
I'm not being rude, but how well are you with computers? If I were to ask you to check the event viewer, would you know what to do or would I have to give detailed instructions?

I have big problem with battery, It's not working good just two hours and stop without any warning when the battery in 50% then reach 30% in the same moment, then the iphone stopped,what I can do for that and I live in Egypt???any help

My Iphone 4 is very good until last Thursday, I used it from sep 2011 without any problems, My problem is the battery is down without any warning and working after 100% then 82% then 50% then 30% and down these things throw less than two hours
what can I do with that??
Also, I live in Cairo,Egypt
waiting your recommendations

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

SQL developer starts and then disappears without any warning

Hi, guys:
I need to use SQL developer where there are existing connections. however, SQL developer 3.1 asked the java.exe location, and I chose java 6, now I can launch SQL developer but not able to continue running it. SQL developer starts and then disappears without any warning. Could anyone help me on this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Sam

Can you start the exe from the BIN subdirectory? That should open a command console, and maybe you can see any error messages there that explain what's happening. For step-by-step directions, here's some help:
http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/06/how-to-collect-debug-info-for-oracle-sql-developer/
OR
Install SQL Developer to a new directory and run it from there and see if that helps you get around your current install's issue.

To assist me to resolve this issue I would suggest you to try these steps and advise the result ,
*)Is this issue seen with all applications and any particular applications.
*)When the system crashed did you experience any over heating issue.
*)May I know the operating system installed on the system .
*)Would suggest you to work on this system in safe mode with networking then test if the same issue is seen .
*)Also as you mentioned that with the preboot diagnostic the system passed all the test so the system's hardware is working fine.
If there are any more queries do reply to this post with the system model ,operating system installed on the machine, service tag of the system(sent via private message) so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better .

Macbook Shuts downs without any warning.

Hi All,
Recently I have noticed that my Macbook shuts down without any warning when the battery is out of power. Previously i used to get a warning when about 9-10 mins of power was left.
I have all the updates installed. Also I have not installed any new hardware.
Is there any settings in the System Preferences. What should I do to correct this situation.
Best,
Siva

I'd try a SMC reset - that usually clears battery/power related settings and might do the trick.

Labview crashes without any warning or error messages

Hi,
I have been using Labview programs for the last 2 months without any problem. All of a sudden the program has started crashing while running. There are no error messages on the screen. The program runs for long hours and during my intermediate inspections i find that Labview has closed without any sign on the computer. This has happened about 2-3 times in the last week but before this there was no such problem. Also this problem is not specific to one program alone. There are other independent modules that have faced the same situation. No two programs are run simultaneously, and the programs use only serial (one of the program also uses parallel) communications with connected devices.
Any suggestions to troub
leshoot / diagnose the problem will be highly appreciated,
Thanks
Gyro

Thanks for your comments. I can use the vi as a sub vi. The error/crash occurs randomly (anywhere from a before running the program to about 8hrs after starting it). Improtantly i have used this program for about 15 times without any problem. The same error is also occuring for other programs. And all of these errors have started occuring in the recent past 3-4 days. Any clues as to what might have triggered this?

HPDM Update/Install Jobs on ThinClient ShutDown without any "Message"

Hello,
I want to send Update/Install jobs to our ThinClients which should be executed on "Shutdown" of the ThinClients.
There is the possibility to check the box task deferment but if I check this box and send the task to the ThinClient, the user gets always an HPDM Message with the Job which can be delayed for the configured time, or to install/reboot directly.
I dont want any informations. For example, I'll send a task to the thin client at 1pm and configure that this task sould run on shutdown of the thin client (normally the shutdown of the thinclient happens, if the user goes home from work), so the job can run after finishing time. So I won't disturb any users, and the jobs always runs after the user went home.
I know, I could plan a job with wake on lan, but I've always trouble with wol. There are a lot of thinclients which are connected via VPN or something else... A wol packet wont reach this clients.
Is it possible to send a "delayed" job without any informations ?
Thanks and regards,

Hey,
I have posted a thread regarding the same issue.
I have run the update myself (both for WinDVD Playback v5 & WinDVD Creator v3) from the System Update utility.
Both reported as installed successfully on the System Update "Installed Updates" log though the update for WinDVD Creator v3 keeps showing up on the available updates.
The version i currently have is version 3 so i guess the update went through, the path: C:\Program Files\InterVideo\WCreator3 - so y does it keep popping up on the available updates?

PWG4 12 inches turn off without any warning still 47% bat

Hi
Is anyone have this problem before, whithout any warning my PBG4 12I turn off even if is still have power in battery 40 to 50%, The only way to turn it on is to plug it and it came alive again.
By the way i dont remember wher to set the warning time % of battery,i check in pref sys pwr energy on battery mode see nothing.
Thanks for help

This is the sign of a lithium battery almost on it's last legs, and it's not an unusual indicator. You can charge it up, and somewhere below 50%, it will just go to zero, shutting the computer down. It happens so quickly you don't get a warning. IF the battery stats are still good, you probably have a fair number of cycles on the battery.
Time for a new battery. Recommend either an OWC battery, which has gotten good reviews here, and can be seen at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/powerbook/battery/g4-12inch-aluminum/ or an Apple battery, although the comments on the Apple web site are not very positive.

SC created without any warning or error message

Hi,
I'm working with SRM 5.0, classic scenario.
Problem is following:
I create a SC for a specific material for storage location A for example. But this specific material wasn't created for storage location A. SRM doesn't block my SC cart created neither give me any warning or error message.
After SC goes into error into shoppingcart monitor indicating that this specific material wasn't created for storage location A.
Is this normal SRM behaviour? I don't think so...
Can I activate any warning or error message in order to avoid this?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
caroline

Hi
This seems to be normal behaviour.
Please check for errors, dumps etc. using BBP_MON_SC, RZ20, and ST22 Transactions, if any.
You need to use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for issuing Warning / Error messages.
Implement BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for filter type - BUS2121 (Shopping carts) and get the job done.
P.S. Carefully read the Standard SAP Documentation of this BADI using SE18 Transaction.
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook - Sudden shutdowns without warning when battery is low

My notebook is only ten months old. Within the last week, it started shutting down unexpectedly when the battery was low (but not at a critical level). If I try to restart it, there won't be a response until I plug in the adaptor cord. Usually there will be around 20% of my battery left when my computer is booted up after such a shutdown, so I don't think it's because of my battery being low. (Besides, when I've accidentally used my laptop until it has to hibernate, the light next to the port for the adapter cord usually blinks to tell me it's the battery.)
Initially I thought it was a problem with overheating, so I cleaned my vents and bought an external laptop cooler when it first shut down unexpectedly two weeks ago. However, the shutdowns have become more frequent since then. I've run the Memory Diagnostic Tool, the HP Battery Check, and updated my BIOS. No problems have come up; in fact, everything seems to be running perfectly. I also ran AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. No problems there either.
What could be the problem? Thanks for any help!
Product name: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Product number: A1J18AV
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

Mines started doing exactly the same! Its just 12 months old though and hardly ever gives me a low battery warning. Then it will turn off without shutting down the proper way. When I plug in and turn back on, the battery says its at 20-25%
Is there actually a solution to this and whats causing it?..because if it's the battery then **bleep**..they don't last long.

Satellite L755-167 turns off suddenly without any warning playing game

From a while every time i play a game like "PES 2014, NFS,....ETC",
My laptop "Toshiba Satellite L755-167" turns off suddenly almost with in 2 minutes.
I tried to do a clean boot but it doesn't work, the laptop works a little longer then it turns off again.
And it happened lately several times during surfing the internet.
I'm using Windows 8.1 pro 64x operating system
What could be the problem, how can i fix it?

I guess the unit shuts Off due to higher temperature.
The temperature could increase while gaming because the CPU and GPU work at the limit.
In case the internal cooling fans and cooling grilles are clogged by dust, the air cannot circulate properly and this leads to higher temperature.
So in case this issue is related to higher temperature, you should clean your cooling fans using an compressed air spray. This helps to get rid of dust.
