Laptop shuts down about 8 seconds after power button is pushed

HP Pavilion dv9913cl Entertainment Notebook PC. what would cause the laptop to shut down after the initial page shows on the screen?

Heating issues. For all the dv9000 series with nVidia video including your model there are well-known overheating and video/motherboard failure issues very well documented on the internet. Just google "HP dv9000 nvidia video problems".

Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

MacBook shuts down immediately both when power button is pressed and when lid is closed

Hey there,
The mentioned issues have happened to me for a couple of years or so. Specifically, when I press the power button it shuts down right away along with a click. Same happens when it sleeps; the light starts glowing and before a full seconds passes, I hear the same click and it shuts down. It started around the same time my battery died out of nowhere so I always attributed it to that. Now I got a new battery and it's still there. I tried resetting the SMC with both methods. The built-in keyboard had coffee spilled on it years ago so it doesn't really work, but I tried the key combination anyway. It didn't fix the problem, so I tried unplugging the battery and holding the power button. That didn't work either. What could be causing this issue?
Thank you.

Your problem is way more complex, here's my standard answer:
"Whenever a liquid spill occurs the first thing that has to happen is the laptop should be shut down immediately. All power must be removed as soon as possible. It is especially important that the battery be disconnected and removed.
All affected parts must be removed from the laptop. No attempt should be made to start/restart the computer since this could potentially damage the logic board beyond all repair.
Then all affected parts would be washed in deionized water and blown dry with compressed air. (In a water spill the deionized water is probably not as critical. Depends on the mineral content of the water.) and blown dry with compressed air.This is especially true of the large chips on the logic board. Water can wick under them and cause havoc.
The logic board should be placed in a drying/dehumidifing oven for at least two days. Longer depending on the spill.
The keyboard is a separate matter."
Also red wine would be one of the worst things you could spill on your computer.

A135-S2266 shuts down 4 seconds after start

I have tried everything I know to get this machine to start. It had been dormant for about 8 months after shutting down suddenly while browsing the internet. I fully charged the battery and the front panel lights work properly. When I press the start button the fan comes on for about 4 seconds and then shuts down. No video either in the screen or an external monitor. I have tried replacing the memory and disconnecting the hard drive to no avail.I have tried startup on both battery power and external charger power.
Any help will be appreciated.

Many items can cause this to occur. Shutdown is the unit way of preventing further damage. Feasible the hard drive is in failure mode. There maybe dust build up around the fan and exhaust ports needing cleaning, check the power adapter and cables for any signs of fraying/split aspects. You mentioned 'replaced memory' feabile you are using an incompatible module not set to work with that unit. Resetting the hard drive you must ensure that the pin connectors are aligned completely and fully pushed in. Just some areas for you to work on to see if they resolve the problem.

The next day, i pushed the power button to power it back up and nothing happened - no lights, no screen, no sound. The battery was fully charged and the laptop was connected to the power cord. Any ideas how to restart this thing?

HT1338 Mac needs to be shut down by holding the power button.

I got a brand new macbook pro today. Within 3 hours of use I got an error saying I needed to restart my computer. I did so, then it happened again 10 minutes later. I shut down my mac and its been off ever since. I googled this and its called a kernel error.What do I do? The closest apple store is 1.5 hours away.

Hey,
By loading into Safe Mode; (taken from HT1564)
It forces a directory check of the startup volume. You may see a progress bar on the screen during this check, and the computer may take longer than usual to complete its startup.
It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.
Taken together, these changes can help resolve software or directory issues that may exist on the startup volume.

IPad 1 pre-installed applications shutting down just seconds after loading with no apparent reason

I've been using a second-hand iPad 1 running the highest available version of iOS for around a week now, but recently, when I wanted to use a preinstalled application they would load, but just around a second later I would be at the home screen again.
(I'm not really in the mood to explain deeper right now, I'll reply to any questions I'm asked...)

Is it just the pre-installed apps, or most all apps.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Computer shuts down 5 seconds after mouse stops moving

As soon as the computer turns on it comes up with the shutdown/restart box. Have to press escape to cancel the shutdown. If the mouse is moving it is fine but as soon as it stops, 5 seconds later the box comes up and tries to restart. If I let it, it restarts and happens again.
Any ideas?

Mail shuts down 10 seconds after opening.

I don't have any "to do's" in my calendar as stated in other discussion topics.
I cleared my mail cache . . . cleared cookies . . . I just don't know what else to do.
I'm sure the switch to Leopard is causing the problem.

that may be an entirely different issue.
how many accounts do you have? and where are you trying to send from.
for each account you should have an outgoing server set up. See mail>preferences>accounts>account information, when clicking on outgoing mail server you will see a list of all the smtp servers you have, the first one being for the account that is highlighted in the left hand side column. what you could do is to click on the "edit server list" and then go to advanced, and then re-enter your password and click ok, see if that solves the issue. If it does not you may want to change the port, but before you do that you may want to browse this forum for your ISP to see what server port others use.
Furthermore, depending on where you are trying to send may make a difference. For example, if you are at home, with your own internet connection, you might send without a problem. But if you are at a friend's place on his/her internet connection you might not be able to send, as his/her ISP might prevent you from doing so, in which case you may need to add their smtp info to your outgoing server list.
Finally, it might just be a case of your ISP being temporarily down, and just being patient.
hope this helps

Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,
Clinton

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
