Glad I stumbled on this, was getting restarts at least once a day.  ESET makes a fairly solid product for Windows but not so much for Mac I guess.
Any recomendations for a SOLID Mac antivirus?  And PLEASE don't tell me that macs don't get viruses...

  • P55-GD85 shuts down then reboots on its own?

    I have just set up a new P55-GD85, when I shut it down, it reboots on its own?
    I would appreciate ideas on how to fix this do do a normal shutdown

    Did you try disabling every option in the "Wake Up Event Setup"? 
    I just checked the Changelog for the latest BETA Releases for your board.  The latest BETA Version is A7585IMS.132 [v1.3b2] and among other things it includes the following fixes that seem to address the problem you are experiencing:
    Quote
    - Fixed WOL still work after disable LAN controller.
    - Fix after use LAN (on PCIE slot) wakup S1,system can't shut down from OS issue.
    For you, this means good news:  Your problem is already known and was, at it looks, already fixed.  All you have to do right now is to contact MSI Technical Support and ask them to provide you with that BIOS Release.
    http://support.msi.com/
    Once you have the BIOS, ensure that your system is stable and then use the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to flash it (please avoid M-Flash or Windows based method for minimum risk).

  • Finding my iMac shut down or rebooted for no reason at all?!?!?

    I recently transferred my iMac G5 to an iMac Intel. Since doing so, I have found my new iMac Intel in the mornings completely shut down or as if it had been restarted (user account selection screen). This morning, I sat down at the computer and moved the mouse to wake it from sleep and this prompted the computer to restart!!! My Energy Saver settings are (and have been) set to wake the computer at 2:49AM and SuperDuper! (latest version is installed) is (and has been for awhile) set to do a Smart Backup at that time. Based on the log in SuperDuper! it appears last nights backup did not happen. I'm wondering if something is happening with SuperDuper! It is NOT set to restart or shut down the computer after a backup, only to quit the application itself. I never had this problem on my iMac G5. I don't have any other apps that I'm aware of that are doing anything overnight.
    Interestingly, this morning after the computer restarted, I started a manual backup with SuperDuper! then left the computer and went to work. When my wife came to the computer later on, the user account screen was up suggesting the computer had been restarted once again.
    Is there anything else that could be causing this? A setting that might have defaulted somewhere to cause restarts or shut downs? I booted from my external FW drive (G-Drive GRAID 500) and repaired permissions and repaired the disk of my internal iMac Intel HD. Blast it DriveGenius not being Intel compliant yet!!! I'll see if this happens again. If so, I'll try disabling SuperDuper! overnight backups for awhile and see it fixes things. In the meantime, any thoughts on why or what is causing this? Others' with this problem? Thanks.

    hey joshua-
    you could also try a smc reset, and disconnect devices you have attached. if disconnecting devices changes it, reintroduce devices one by one so you can weed out which one may be causing the behavior. reset the smc by unplugging all devices and then unplugging power cord from back of machine where it goes into the power supply. wait at least ten seconds. then reintroduce the cord at the same time as pressing the power button. another thing to consider doing for this problem is to pull the /libary/preferences/systemconfiguration folder (at root level) but you will have to reintroduce your network settings. good luck with that.

  • Satellite P100 shuts down then reboots

    G'day, my laptop boots up fine and then after some time, a couple of minutes to a couple of hours, it will instantly die with no warning, then reboot as though it was a fresh start. There are no errors captured.
    I've had the system checked, wiped the hdd, changed the hdd and mem, I'm runnimg XP pro.
    it's on now in bios ok, but when in windows it will shut and restart. I don't think that temp is an issue because of the restarts at 4mins. 3yrs running fine, then this.
    Any ideas???
    Neil

    Hi njgo2,
    If you have already reinstalled Windows, it shouldnt be a software or driver issue. Theoretically it could be shut down due a higher internal temperature. Your notebook is 3 years old so have you already cleaned it? If not its time for that because a notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months. If you use compressed air spray, you will wonder how much dust comes out. ;)
    So before you change anything, clean it firstly. It takes only few minutes and therefore its not necessary to disassemble it.

  • Why does my iPad 1 shut down then reboot by itself?

    We have a first gen iPad that suddenly has begun shutting down by itself, then rebooting. Of course, it's just out of warranty (by 2 months). I've read some posts that suggest it is battery related, others that it is related to software. Any help from the experts out there would be great!

    Hi amy,
    I really doubt it is battery related, as batteries usually last a few years, however in some rare occasions there could be some form of fault.
    It sounds like maybe there are some dodgy connections inside the device, which only a repair can solve.
    Try restoring your iPad in iTunes - Plug the device in, and click restore under the summary tab.
    If this doesn't help, I reccomend heading to an Apple Store and booking a genius appointment - these are free even if you have no warentee. Here they can discuss options with you, and will offer you a discounted replacement price. As your warentee ran out so shortly before the problem arose, they may be able to offer an exemption, ask nicely!
    Regards,
    Nathan

  • I MAC SHUTS DOWN THEN QUESTION MARK APPEARS

    NEW TO APPLE MY IMAC SHUTS DOWN THEN A QUESTION MARK APPEARS THEN IT RESTARTS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ANY IDEAS IT DOES SEND A REPORT TO APPLE THANKS

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
    a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
    Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
    Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

    My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
    Thanks

    rk87,
    Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
    I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
    His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
    Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

  • IMac shuts down after removing Mini DisplayPort to SVGA

    Hi,
    The last couple of years I have worked with a 27 inch iMac in combination with a HP 27 inch monitor. This monitor is connected via a Mini Displayport to SVGA connector. Because I am going to use this external monitor anymore, I disconnected it today which made my iMac shut down imediately. Then it keeps rebooting and trying to start up but shuts down again. Over and over.
    The problem stops as soon as I connect the monitor again.
    Anybody have any thoughts?

  • IMac shuts down randomly after downloading Lion

    About a month ago, I installed OS X Lion from the App store. Ever since then, my iMac randomly shuts down, even when it's not necessarily hot. It especially shuts down when I have multiple videos playing like on YouTube and Netflix, but still, it's not abnormally hot. Never had a problem before and this iMac is 2 years old. I have even reinstalled Lion twice now after using the Command + R. I even tried the disk utility part. And tried holding down the shift key at startup, which I did first by the way...
    Please help!!! I've never had a problem with any of my other Apple devices (MacBook, iPhone 4 & 5, iPod) so this is kinda shocking to me.
    iMac info
    3.6 GHz

    Thank you

  • IMac shut down suddenly and won't boot back up

    This morning my iMac shut down suddenly.  All I had open was Google Chrome and I was just on Facebook and that's it.  When I tried to boot it back up, it wouldn't load past the startup sound, wherein it would appear to shut back down,or at the very least the screen would go black (my mouse has lights that stay on when the computer is on, and the light kept going on and off while the screen remained black).  This was the case for at least a half hour until it suddenly booted itself back up all on its own.  I had it on throughout the day, just browsing the internet and watching Youtube. It shut itself down twice during the day, and both times it restarted on its own right away after showing me a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar.  Now it just shut itself down again and it won't make it past the progress bar screen - if it even makes it that far, sometimes it shuts off right after it makes the startup sound.  It keeps trying to boot up on its own over and over again, but it keeps shutting down right away.  All the fixes I've searched for so far require a computer that actually boots up all the way so I don't think I could run any reports if I tried!
    I'm running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2?). 
    Model number A1311
    Not entirely sure what specs are useful to know so I'm just gonna write some of what's on the box it came in:
    3.2 GHz Intel i3 processor, 4MBshared level 3 cache
    4GB of 1333MHz DDR SDRAM
    1TB serial ATA hard drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics processor with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory
    Bought it around fall of 2010.  Not sure if it's worth trying to get it fixed (I live nowhere near an Apple store) or if I should just get a new computer, but I would like to know what's wrong, if possible.

    Try to boot into the Recover Partition by holding down the Command + R keys on startup. If it still won't boot then the HD has probably crashed. The is likely a AASP in your area, you can locate one by clicking AASP Locator, take it to one to be professional diagnosed. If it's only the HD, assuming you have been backing up, restoring to a new HD is pretty simple.

  • IMac shutting down on startup - Can't enter safe mode as wireless keyboard doesn't connect quickly enough

    Hi all,
    I was planning to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 21.5" iMac.
    Bootcamp recommended I usk disk utility to repair the drive. I had a snow leopard install disk in the drive, (I didn't realise Lion already had it's recovery tools built in to the hard drive.)
    Disk utility said it can't repair the drive and recommended I start backing up my data (because the hard drive could be about to fail). Fine, so I restarted, with the intention of backing up everything (all my work for the last 12 months). So I press the power button, grey screen comes up, then the apple logo, then a progress bar appears (found this odd at first, but later found out it has something to do with disk utility and a bad hard drive) it gets to around 20% and then all power is cut from the iMac and the hard drive stops/everything powers down.
    Now, I can't seem to get my iMac to boot into recovery utilities or into safe mode because it doesn't connect to the wireless keyboard in time before it shuts down. So, if I use a wired keyboard (I have a dell USB keyboard that I can take from the office), will I be able to boot into safe mode?
    Also, if the disk in drive is causing the problem, then I can't remove it because the wireless keyboard won't connect/register any keypresses.

    Ok so, status report:
    Wired keyboard is non responsive when I plug it in before/during boot. So i guess it needs to be plugged in before the iMac shut down. That's that out the window.
    Plugged in headphones and I can't hear the startup chime so don't know when to start holding buttons.
    To make matters worse, the wireless keyboard is no longer paired with the iMac, getting a green blinking light which indicates it wants to connect to a computer or device.
    So I can't enter any commands whatsoever, can't remove the disk in the drive or boot safe mode. It's my worst nightmare.

  • Shut down and Reboot problems

    Hi All
    I hope I can find help for my problem as it is getting really frustrating. I have Lenovo X230 tablet which used to run fine until it suddenly will not shut down or reboot. The screen will turn black however the small led lights on power and other button
    will remain on and the the laptop will remain like this until I press the power button to physically shut it down. When I tried to restore the system to an earlier point, the laptop will not reboot and I had to press the button again to shut it down and then
    power it up. It showed after that reboot was successful but to no avail. I tried to reboot it to even an earlier point (still I had to manually reboot it) but it failed. All drivers are up to date and I always install Windows updates as soon as they are out.
    Still I have to push the power button when I install new windows updates when reboot is required because the screen will go black as I already mentioned with the power still on. I do hope to get helo with this. 
    Thank you 
    Qas

    Hi,
    As this problem occures with no symptoms, in my opinion, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point for test.
    If the problem persists after system resotre successfully, it would be better to contact Lenovo support to check Hardware problem.

  • Imac shuts down when not in use

    I purchased my 21.5" imac July 9, 2011 with Snow Leopard. No problems for 1 month. Then about August 12th or so, my imac started to mysteriously "shut down" when not in use. I'll be working on it, then get up to go pour myself a cup of coffee or something...then I come back to my computer that has now shut off. It is NOT asleep...it is OFF. So I turn it back on and it is fine. This has happened a few times now within a week. Anyone else have this problem?
    By the way, I am now running Lyon, as of August 18th. When the imac shut down, I was usually viewing photos or on the web.
    thanks!

    First thing I would try is to reset the SMC, it can help with power related problems. Shut down the Mac and unplug everything including the power. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Plug in the computer but be careful not to press the power button as you are plugging it in. Wait a few seconds and turn it on. Hopefully it won't happen again. There is always Apple Support. Don't let the problem persist until your free phone tech support has expired (3 months). I would also recommend using the iMac with an UPS, and at the very least, a high quality surge protector.
    If you have MS Word or a similar word processor you could try enabling the autosave feature and set it to 1 minute intervals. Keep a document open and if you come back to the computer and it has shut down, you can look at the last time the document was updated and know what time the comptuer turned itself off. It could be useful in diagnosing the problem.

  • IMac shuts down when commanded to print

    A friend of mine got a new Samsung color laser and when he tries to print his computer immediately shuts down. I uninstalled/reinstalled the printer software, ran FSCK which fixed some disk directory problems (probably from the unexpected shutdowns) and ran Cocktail, which did the cron scripts and cleared out the caches as well as repairing permissions. It seemed to be working normally, but he just called to tell me that the machine shut down again when he tried to print a document.
    Anyone have any ideas about what's going on and what to do about it? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Thanks for all the help.
    I went back to his house tonight and we figured it out. I reset the SMU and installed the latest drivers, but the problem persisted. It was a little warm in the room, so we turned on a small fan on his desk next to the iMac. The next time we tried to print, we noticed that the speed of the fan dropped for a moment at the same time the iMac shut down. I then looked to where the equipment was plugged in and found one of those battery backup power strips with the printer plugged in to one of the backed up outlets. I moved it to one of the non-backed up outlets and the problem disappeared. I'm thinking that the printer was pulling too much power from the system and the iMac was shutting down due to low voltage. Just proves you have to check everything.
