Lenovo freezes or reboots

My Lenovo 3000 reboots while working or after 5 to 10 minutes of non use freezes, screen goes black but power is still on - I do not have hibernation or any automatic turn offs turned on.  The screen is black and cannot even power it off but must pull battery - this happens every time.  The reboots are intermittent but as soon as I stop working on the computer it freezes.  The power light is on and the battery light and the other light (looks like a star lower left) but cannot do anything except pull battery.  Have downloaded updates and run virus software to no avail.

When a laptop is not being used for some time it makes some devices to turn off.
Your issue seems to be related with HDD. After some time it is stopped, because you do nothing, but then it can't spin up again...
I'm not sure, but worth checking.
Try finding power managment profiles and disable auto-stop of HDD after time.

  • Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

    the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

    Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
    If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.

  • My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

    Hi.
    Here's the story:
    My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
    I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
    To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem. 
    Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
    Bye.

    - Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
    - Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.
    - For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - For DFU mode

    Hi salmaatty
    Have you recently installed any application before this Problem started ? Think carefully any new application , theme , wallpaper or any recent app update !
    If you have then try to boot your device on Safe Mode , On Safe Mode delete any application which you think might be responsible for this issue , from Options > Device > Application Manegement > locate and delete any newly installed 3rd party application , it might help in resolving your issue :

    Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
    Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
    I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

    Anyone able to help please?
    Thanks.

  • Cell Phone Causes Lenovo S10 to Reboot

    I left my Nokia E71 on the Lenovo S10's keyboard only to turn around to see it had randomly rebooted. Further investigation showed it can be easily recreated on the S10 while the IBM X60 Tablet did great.
    Youtube video of reboot:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAypYOTubHs
    My site:
    http://www.jasonhui.ca/2009/03/30/cell-phone-causes-lenovo-s10-to-reboot/

    I had this problem too.  Specifically a Dlink router (WBR-1310) and a Lenovo laptop (Y530) running Vista Home (32-bit).  It would show that my laptop connected to the network, then a few seconds later the connection would be down and it would continuously connect/disconnect.  My other system that was connected just fine through the router (running Windows 7) would get kicked off the network.  Connecting the Vista laptop directly to the cable modem, though, would work just fine.
    Found this post, and it worked for me.  http://www.justanswer.com/questions/1wau3-bought-lenovo-laptop-y430
    Just go into your Dlink configuration's Advanced tab, then the Advanced Network sub-tab.  Uncheck the UPnP (universal plug and play), save the settings, and let the router reboot.
    Now both my systems (Vista and Windows 7) are happy and connected through the router.

  • Iphone 3gs freezes and reboots itself every now and then

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS with latest firmware 5.0.1 and sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself. I tried to restore it as new, from backup, I upgraded firmwares but still every now and then it just reboots itself. Often when I start the phone in the morning it reboots several times in a row. Are the latest firmwares buggy or what? Please help!

    I found solution on this forum.  He said the problem solved by reset all setting -> as new phone.  (Don't worry, data is preserved).  This works for me so far.. keep my finger cross.

  • Weird noises and then nano freezes and reboots

    My nano now has pops and other noises occasionally during songs. Some songs will work fine, others not. It continues to do this until it freezes and reboots.
    I took out my headphones and played it for 22 songs without it rebooting.
    It was working fine until I recharded the nano if that helps. I have only had this thing for 3 weeks!
    I'd rather not send it in, I've reset it already, anything else I can do?

    I have this exact same problem, although I can occasionally get through a few songs. Hopefully someone out there has an answer/fix.

  • My iMac 5k Retina freezes and reboots unexpectedly

    My iMac 5k Retina freezes and reboots unexpectedly...
    System log does not show any errors before the reboot entry...
    Hardware test was OK. Disk has no problems.
    Any ideas?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • HT201263 My Iphone 4s freezes and reboots

    It freezes and reboots anywhere from 5-14 times a day 14 is the most it has done it to me some far. I tried deleting everything and restoring it as a new phone as i was told to do when i called for support but it did not work

    If restoring as new didn't help, there is a hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides warranty service in your country.

  • Lumia 620 randomly freezes and reboots

    I knew a cheap windows phone is too good to be true. I've been getting random freezes and reboots without any reason at all. This is unacceptable, nokia should address this windows 8 issue afflicting wp 8 phones. Please don't tell be to do a soft or hard reset because we already know it won't fix the problem.

    Hi, everyone. I've been having problems with random reboots ever since I bought my Lumia 620 and it was driving me crazy. It freezes up sporadically too, but I think I found a fix for rebooting issues.
    When my cousin bought her Lumia 620 I immediately asked her if hers rebooted sporadically as well. She said it hadn't, not once. Then, one time her battery was dying so I gave her mine, and she left me with her battery and on charger while she went home. Anyway, hers started to reboot frequently, whilst mine was behaving ok.
    When we replaced the batteries again, mine began rebooting again.
    Finally, I checked both our batteries and found out mine was moving around the device more freely than hers. Hers was held firmly in place while mine danced around. Then I tried moderate, yet gentle tap on the side of my device and it rebooted EVERY TIME I tapped it. After I inserted a small, neatly folded piece of paper between the device and the battery, the battery clicked in place tightly and it couldn't move at all. Reboots stopped, no matter how strong I tapped the sides of the device.
    This hasn't resolved any freezes, but at least it's not rebooting all the time. So check your battery, maybe it is a hairline thinner or smaller or whatnot from the rest of them and it can move around. A millisecond is enough for it to lose contact, half a millimeter of movement is enough to cause your phone to reboot. Hope this revelation of mine will help someone

  • Z3 compact freezes and reboots constantly with large music collection on sd card.

    Hi 
    On adding my music collection(72GB) to the sd card via the usb cable, I've run into a pretty serious issue/bug with my z3 compact. This renders the phone useless.   All is well as long as I never reboot/shutdown the phone after adding music. I've successfully used the walkman app for a number of days with the full music colletion present.  Once the phone is shutdown,  on restart it gets hot, battery starts to drain significantly( +- 10% in about 4min) and it then freezes and reboots constantly. I've tried a number of things to attempt to recover.
    removing the sd card, leaving it out and restarting the phone
    removing the music files from the sd card 
    factory reset but keeping the music files on the sd card
    I've used mp3diags to scan my collection for broken files, there were some minor issues with id3 tags which I've corrected but no broken files. 
    None of these actions improved matters, the only solution seems to be to erase data from the sd card and factory reset the phone. Then add the files again. This is quite time consuming and very very frustrating.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
