Laptop keeps turning off (T500)

I have a Lenovo T500 with 6GB RAM, 320GB HDD and an intel T9600 @ 2.8 GHZ. I installed Windows a few weeks ago and haven't used the laptop. Upon turning it on, when I logged in, it said there was a startup error. So, I restarted, did startup repair, logged in...and it said Windows wasn't genuine.
So, I stuck in the installation disk and the only option it gave was to install Windows (I thought it'd have a repair function as I was logged in)
Restarted to do a clean install...blue screen.
Restarted again, laptop shut off. Wouldn't turn on.
Took battery out and plugged in adapter, and it turned on.
Now, within seconds of being on, it shuts off.
I have a cooling bay and cleaned the fan.
So, what could be wrong? The fan is very loud and I'm not sure why. I touched it and it seems mildy warm, but not hot.

Hi Razorboi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with system not powering on.
1. Please check if the system is getting more heated at the bottom.
2. Please enter to BIOS mode and keep the system in BIOS mode only and check if the system will shuts down in BIOS mode also.
3. Check if the system is having dual memory, if yes check with removing one of the memories.
4. Check with removing HDD drive.
5. Also check if there is any foreign particle stuck in power button.
If the issue still persists after following the above steps, then the issue must be with system hardware, and I strongly recommend you to visit the nearby service center for further assistance.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps!
Best regards.

My toshiba laptop keeps turning off for no reason

my laptop is a Satellite A205 s7464 and when its on it randomly turns off. I cant seem to find the problem, its not overheating or anything, but it constantly does this.
can anyone help?

The cpu fan may not be function causing the computer to shutdown. Does this happen when you walk away from the computer for awhile? Could it be set to hibernate?
the product specifications states the under some condition your computer may shut down not sure what that means?

Airport keeps turning off on my Mac book

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Equium A300D-16C - Keeps turning off after 5 minutes

My laptop keeps turning itself off.
I've noticed lately it overheats faster than usual. When I use it I have to stack it on books but make sure the left side of the laptop is pushed to the side so the book isn't beneath it.
I have tried the following:
Taken the battery out and waited.
Waited for the lap top to cool down.
Use the power cord and remove the battery.
Right now I have changed the power settings and it hasn't turned off as yet, but is there anything extra I should do?
Also was wondering how to remove any dust that may be trapped inside as well as trying to figure out the over heating problem, I can never have the left side of the base covered even if its on a table as it will turn itself off.
Help is much appreciated.

Hey,
> but is there anything extra I should do?
Yes, you should clean your notebook and remove the dust to avoid overheating and make your notebook stable.
Here is a good article how to do this:
[How to clean the cooling system of a Toshiba notebook? |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]
For example I clean my notebook every 3 months because I use it every day and compressed air spray is really good option for this. You dont need much time and its pretty cheap. ;)

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)

7. Select "Restore iPad"...

2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
Help?

Hey,
Thanks but all ready tried that.
I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

Why does my ipod nano keep turning off

Hello

What do you mean it keeps turning off?
Perhaps it's an issue with the headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug. You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones. If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.
