Laptop abrupt shut down

Hi
I have Lenovo 3000 N 100 series laptop.For past 2 onths its battery was damaged hence removed.Problem is laptop has started shutting down abruptly.When I start the laptop, I can see the desktop wall paper after which laptop shuts down.
Following is the configuration:
RAM 512 RAM/Had Disc 60 GB, partition into two.
Operating System Windows XP.No games or heavy application installed.
Has anybody faced similar problem? I read some posts but didn't get much clues.
Regards
PD

Hi,
Even in safe mode, it has same problem.Today it got shut down after 45 minutes first.Later 15 minutes,sometimes evern 5 minutes.
I am not able to guess what could be the problem.I ran Symentec Antivirus when it ran for 45 minutes but no virus after which it shut down.2/3 times it shut down when Windows XP Desktop was about to appear.In safe mode, it shut down even before Windows main screen appeared.
As of now, it seems doesn not seem to be a problem with Virus/power.Power could be a problem.Coming week when new battery comes, I can tell whether its power problem.
Regards
PD

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.

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

Why does my MacBook abruptly shut down shortly after being wakened?

This has just begun happening within the past two days; I've used my MacBook every day since 8/10 without problems. When I wake it from Sleep it abruptly shuts down either within a few seconds, or while I'm connecting to the internet, or at least within minutes of waking it. No Application needs to be or usually is running. Power cord and external modem are the only connects. My last third party download a few days ago was the latest update of Stuffit Expander. Apple Hardware Test shows no problems. I can start it back up by pressing the power button for five seconds or by Command/Control->press Power button but it sometimes shuts down again within seconds. What's the problem? TIA.

But I wonder if I could get some advice as how to
proceed at this point. Should I even bother to try
some of the prelminary fixes like resetting the PRAM
since nothing but hardware repair seems to work?
Should I even bother to call Apple Support first or
should I contact the Mac genius at the store where I
bought it?
You should do a backup as soon as you can, since most people report that once the problem starts, it gets worse until the machine may become completely inoperable. And there's a chance that the hard drive will be wiped during repair.
Apparently most, if not all, Apple Stores will send it in for repair rather than do it in the store. I had my repair done by contacting AppleCare directly. They will send you a shipping box, and you pack your machine and send it in. This, and return shipping, is via overnight shipping, DHL or FedEx, in the U.S. The time to repair depends on availability of parts. Mine was done in 48 hours; others report delays of weeks.
I've owned an original iMac Rev. A since they first
came out and have NEVER had a problem with it
requiring hardware repair. I'm a newbie to this

Macbook abruptly shuts down

Hello all,
I just got my Macbook yesterday. Twice today, while browsing websites and listening to music, my Macbook abruptly shut down! One moment I'm zooming along, the next -- silence .. and I'm gazing into a black screen.
My battery? 100%! My AC adapter? Plugged in!
When I type, nothing happens. When I press the power button, the computer screen turns on and I hear the startup chime but then the computer abruptly shuts down again very quickly after the chime. I press the power button again, same thing!
The only way to get the Macbook to turn on is to hold down the power button until my "indicator light" (the one that pulses when the Macbook is sleeping) blinks rapidly, then I let go. A loud annoying long beeeeeep is heard, and the Macbook starts up as it should.
Very odd! As I said, it's happened twice now .. seperated by only a few hours. Anyone have any ideas? :{

I agree with the temp. theory. I have read many posts about this happening as you discribed it, beep and all. I suggest seeing if you can MAKE the macbook do it. Run a lot of programs and just make that puppy work and get it to shut down. Assuming it does Let the unit cool, and repeat, but this time have the macbook sitting as close as you can to a source of coolness as you can get . Tilt one end up and have a fan blow at high across the bottom and see if you cant get it to shut off again.
2. Maybe you have a deffective unit, if you can make the macbook shut off on command, so to speal, get it exchanged.
3. How much RAM are you running? OSX needs a Gig at least to multitask without flaw.

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?

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.

Laptop keeps shutting down without warning because it thinks the battery is low, but it isn't.

My laptop is about 9 months old and recently it started to just shut down as if the battery were low. It is not low. It just did it now and the battery was at 80%. If I try to restart it it shows low battery and won't start. However, if I remove the battery and reinsert it, it starts up fine. Or, if I plug it in for a moment to start it up and then unplug it it works fine. The battery obviously still has plenty of juice left, but the computer is misreading it somehow. Although it still shows an accurate reading in the task bar. Any thoughts? Thank You.

UltimateBid,
Thanks for the update. I do not see anything on my end that talks about it, you can try to update the BIOS and see if that resolves the issue, otherwise I would recommend service possibly.

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

Kernel Panic when closing laptop during shut down

It was the 2nd day I had my MBP and was jsut heading to sleep.
I had selected Apple > Shut Down to turn off the comp, and closed the laptop (I put the screen down and whatnot)
Few minutes passed, and I still saw the sleep light on for some reason. I opened the laptop back up, and there was the Kernel Panic screen.
I have no idea why it did this. Should I be worried?
It was just the 2nd day the MBP was in my possession and it would be really lame if problems were already arising THAT early.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The machine hadn't completed the shutdown process when you shut the lid and effectively told it to sleep. The conflict between the two tasks is what caused the panic. Wait until you see the MBP actually shut down before closing the lid. There are also some out there who suggest letting it cool a few minutes before shutting the lid to save the screen, which kind of makes sense depending on how intensively you'd been running it prior.

L412 Laptop - continuously shutting down

I have a Lenovo L412 laptop from my company, which has sporadically been shutting down at random. For the past few months, it was occurring every 2 or 3 days, 1 time. But today, it shut down and I've been unable to get it to stay logged in enough to even open a file! As soon as the system logs in, it simply shuts down - completely.
I am running this on a wood laptop stand with air vents. I'm also using the power cord continuously because the battery has about 15 minutes of capacity.
When the problem first occurred, I gave it to my tech guys and they re-imaged my machine (losing much of my locally stored documents). It did nothing to fix the problem.
I put a call in to them again and they require a ticket to fix the problem, which I'm unable to create since I cannot get into the system. I'm writing this on my home Mac - which never has problems like my work PC.
Any suggestions on things I could try to get this working? I can't afford a day of them munking with it and giving it back with the same issue.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my Lenovo L412.
Random crash.. dust in the fan.. how can I remove the dust ? is there a Youtube video about that ?
Thank you.

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...

My laptop randomly shuts down (VIDEO)

Hello! I hope someone can help me.
For some time my laptop (Toshiba L655D-S5109) has a random error. While using the computer suddenly shuts down, although two lights are flashing.
The problem is with the battery running. Without the battery is functioning normally (plugged in).
Since I replaced the battery with a new original and the problem continues.
Any idea what can be?
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUnD9G7_QL8
Thanx!!

when booting up, try and get into the boot menu by hitting the f8 key repeatedly after hitting the power button. If successful, try and start in safe mode and see what happens. post back. P.S. You don't need to post a video, just not what all happens and describe it with text
