  • Need help fixing video shut off after 2 minutes in non-windows mode

    Good morning experts in this forum,  I need your help solving a hardware/firmware problem of my computer. I have a Hpe 250f computer with Radeon 5700 series video card on it.  I recently noticed one strange problem which prevents me from doing any meaningful work in non-windows mode: The video will be shut off after around 2 min if the computer is not in Windows mode.  This includes BIOs mode and recovery mode.  There is no problem if the computer logs on Windows within 2 minutes.  But if I stay in BIOs settings or try to use HP diagnostics or try to recover a backup using windows backups for around 2 min, the monitor will turn blank and the power button of monitor will turn yellow from green indicating no video output to it.  It can not wake up by mouse or keyboard. I read that older BIOs have problem with fan speed and I reflashed the BIOs.   But it did not work. This problem drives me mad since I had occasional hard drive failures recently and I could not recover my system (That is why I noticed the problem recently, but the problem could have existed when I bought the computer).  Now the computer is out of warrenty and I could not find any similar case using Google search.  I really appreaciate your help. Thanks

    I had the same problem when I upgraded.  In my case it definitely was the power supply.  In my effort to figure out the problem by swapping components in and out, the dieing power supply killed 2 P8P67 Pro and 2 2500k, and when I tested with the P67A-GD65, the power supply totally died, but the good thing is that the GD65 survived.  Swapped in a 430W to test and everything was perfect.  At full load with GTX260, it will draw less than 300W, so your power supply is fine to test.

  • Battery suddenly stops working - computer shuts off despite battery saying its charged.

    I have a HDX16 laptop running windows 7.
    The battery is a year and a few months old, and yesterday was giving me at least 50 min of battery life. However today, it wont hold a charge at all and my computer shuts down completely whenever the power supply is interrupted for a millisecond. I ask because this is the second time a battery has suddenly stopped working on me and I am wondering if there is a reason for this.
    I tried to check the battery condition by hitting esc + f2 when my computer starts up, but there is no battery check option.
    Any explanation or advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks for your time. 

    Hey Aitchpk, 
    I'm sorry you're having a battery issue. I would suggest running a battery check using HP Support Assistant if you have it installed on your computer. 
    You could also try using this standalone Battery Check.
    Do you have any issues like this if you operate the computer without the battery and just have the power cord plugged in?

  • MBP shuts off after 10 minutes on a almost full charge.

    I have had my Mac for a year and just upgraded to Leopard. Now whenever I go off the charger to battery power it shuts down after 10 to 15 minutes but the battery meters tell me the battery is fully charged. And how the MBp is telling my battery is fully charged at 96%. Could this be a Leopard power management issue I haven't discovered yet?I bought it in May so I don't think it is one of the faulty batteries.

    "
    Good news! I guess. I had the same problem - abrupt shut down with ~75% power showing on battery lights and in the top bar. My unit is a 15" Intel MBP 2.33G machine, 20 months old. Took the unit to my local Apple store - fortunate to have on near by. Showed the Genius the trick. He looked in the database and found the problem. It seems there are a number of these things doing this. Something to do with the processor in the battery that monitors and communicates the battery status to the system going bad and making it seem like there is no power even when there is. Bottom line - I was given a new battery! Apple has extended the warranty to cover these problems. GREAT COMPANY! SHOW ME A PC MANUFACTURER THAT WOULD REPLACE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY ON A UNIT 8 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY!

  • Yoga Pro 2 screen shuts off after one minute of inactivity

    I have configured the Power options so that the screen shouldn't dim on either battery or power cord and the laptop shouldn't sleep. I don't have a screen saver on. I even removed the "Energy Manager" bundled app hoping that might work. Hugely annoying. Any advice appreciated!
    Solved!

    This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver).  Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver).
    BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

  • I just purchased the i pod model MC525LL and it shuts off after a minute

    Brand new to Apple, and a somewhat confused.  When I turn on and play music, unless I am actively touching the screen, the unit will turn off.  If I touch the screen and select play, it will pick up exactly where it turned off at.  Kind of like a "sleep" mode.  I have also selected "Reset Settings" and it did not work.  Can anyone help a frustrated Windows guy?

    Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.  The white part of the headphones must be flush with the Nano.

  • Shooting a video works sometimes, but sometimes it shuts off after one second without recording any video

    Have had the Turbo Droid for only 3 days and just tried to shoot video. Twice it worked, but more often it seems to begin recording, but shuts off after one second without recording anything.
    Not sure what I'm doing wrong to cause this to happen.
    Can you help?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, EfrainM_VZW.
    Haven't seen any error messages. Occasionallly, but only rarely, the video will record 1-2 frames, but most of the time it just shuts down. I have tried it with and without the rubber-grip case; taking off the case had no effect. The video still would not function.
    When you tap the video camera icon, it tries to shoot video and seems to begin to record, but one (or two) second(s) later, it beeps and stops. Rarely with a frame or so of video; mostly nothing is recorded.
    The still camera works great! Love being able to touch it anywhere to grab a snap.
    BTW, my partner and I got identical phones at the same time last week. His video has the exact same problems as my phone.
    Another point: I downloaded the Google Camera and can shoot video just fine through that camera. But not through the stock Motorola camera that came with the Droid Turbos.
    I'm starting to think we got phones from a defective batch.
    What do you think?

  • Mail app stopped working after upgrade to Mavericks

    Dear All,
    I have updated from Mountain Lion (Macbook Pro 3,1, 256SSD) to Mavericks, and mail app stopped working.
    That means - when I click the icon - the app does not work.
    I can see that it downloads mail - as when I click it I receive notifcation that it has downloaded some mail, however I cannot open window. Sometimes I manage to open it, but it is totally unresponsive - I cannot change or click anything in it.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions but without any success.
    Moreover if I run mail app and try to click "new message" from the top bar, the window that appears is somewhat mixed with my wallpaper backround (I can see fragments of it).
    Please help me, as I had there a few gigs of precious mails that I don't want to lose...
    Thank you in advance!
    Olek

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

  • After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working.

    After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working and I cannot reinstall them at the Appstore giving me a message that I have already purchased them. I can see all the apps, click on them, but none of them will open. How can I make them work again, since the Appstore will not allow me to reinstall the apps? The only apps that are working are the ones pre-installed by the upgrade.

    Try downloading any free app using the App Store on the phone.
