My computer turns off randomly

When i am playing games like WoW or Civ 4 my computer shuts off. It shuts off after no more than a half hour of use. This has happened to me 4 times in a row tonight. I had the computer off all day. I turned it on this evening and after a half hour it just turns off. The computer is about 3 months old. I am very frustrated.

It doesn't matter how long you've been running the computer, the heat can build up fast. On my iMac, I can shut my computer down overnight, boot it up in the morning, and the temp on the CPU will be around 114 degrees F. However, if I start to do anything intensive like rendering video or playing a game full screen the temp reaches the point where the fans have to kick in high gear w/in about 5 minutes. So 30 minutes is plenty of time to get the heat built up. Besides, I think that the new C2D's are supposed to run cooler, so that means that the temp limit will be reached faster.
Also, like myhighway suggested, the RAM might be insufficient enough to do graphics-intensive tasks or other RAM utilizing tasks. When I got my iMac, it had 512 MB of RAM. That barely cut it for rendering video. Even with 512, it took over 2 hours to render just an hour of video. After that I got another 512 stick from Apple, and the rendering is real-time now. Also like myhighway suggested, the 3rd party RAM you put in there could be faulty, leaving your computer with just 512 MB of usefull RAM.
Hope this helps

  • My computer turns off randomly and won't always tun right back on. What should I do?

    My computer recently started turning off randomly, some when I move it or just when I am sitting there using it. I have also had trouble getting it to turn back on after it turns off. I plugged it in the last time to get it back on, but I can't always have my charger with me when using it. What do I need to do?

  • Please help - computer turns off randomly

    I purchased my computer in the US in september - right before I moved to London. Mid november it died. The computer would turn on and chime, but the screen was dead. I took it to a 3rd party repair (which apple phone tech support insisted was just as good as the apple store) and they replaced the logic board. It all seemed fine until I took it home and used ichat video with my family - the computer turned off. It didn't shut down, just seemed to pause and go dead. I could reboot it and it had no recollection of incorrect shutdown with the exception of firefox. (I dont know if this is important, but every time it does this and i reboot, the sound resets to mute) I started to notice that the computer does this any time I use video functions for an extended period of time (or at least 20 minutes). I have brought it to the apple store twice, where they have repaired it twice. I have gone through at least one more logic board, a heat sink, something to do with the power adapter, as well as the battery. They cannot find anything wrong - 3 repairs later its still shutting down so I went to apple again. Unwilling to give up my computer YET again, they recommended I archive and install. I have now done that - now my computer is crawling - still crashing - and some programs decide to open up occasionally or start and stop without a crash notice. I tried to run disk utility and it froze. On top of this all, they recommended I download xslimmer to convert old power pc programs to the current intel format I'm running on my new macbook - this seems to have complicated things more. I asked them to replace the computer during my last genius bar visit, i was told that because my computer was purchased in the states they cannot replace it, and I will not be heading back to the states soon enough to have it replaced there. So anyone with any insight, please help! I bought a new computer so i wouldn't have to deal with these problems and its turning out to be more of a headache than my old powerbook g4.

    I also forgot to mention that every 45-60 seconds there are two faint tick sounds coming from inside the computer.

  • Has anyone else experience their iPhone 5 turning off at a high percentage and turns off randomly turning back on with the red battery needing it to be plugged in?

    Have had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now, love it, but lately it has been turning off randomly with percentage rates of 50% or above and when I go back to turn it back on it has the dead battery sign on the screen. I am trying to figure out if its hardware issuse or if its the battery itself. Just need suggestions on what to do? Took it in and they want me to restore it but I want to try something else before I wipe it clean.

    1)  Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    2)  Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...
    3)  Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

  • MacBook Pro Turns off Randomly Only when logged in OSX 10.8.2

    Hi,
    I have a 2010 Macbook pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. For a couple of weeks now, when its not plugged in to AC it turns off randomly, not at any specific battery%.
    Things I have tried already that were not helpful:
    - System profiler battery: 374 cycles, Battery Status: Normal
    - SMC reset
    - Clean install of Mountain Lion without any Migraion of old System files (wanted to do this anyways before the problem arose)
    - Its does not seem to be a heating issue, has happened at low temperatures
    What I have noticed is that if I either run the diagnostics at startup or enter to recovery mode, I can run the battery all the way to 0% (lasts a while) and this random swtiching off doesn't occur. It only happens when I am logged in to OSX. This makes me think its not a battery issue either.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks!

    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. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...

    My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens. 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Tiffy6996!

    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.

  • Computer turns off and will not turn back on... Help!

    My laptop was connected to power  I was playing a game using the disc drive.  My computer shut off randomly and would not turn back on.  I removed it from the power source and it still would not turn on.  I waited about 10 minutes plugged it back in and it turned on.  It resumed in my game right where i was.  Why did this happen?? It seems fine now.  Another thing I noticed was that I had to reset the power outlet it was plugged in to.... Any ideas??

    Sounds like you have a power surge and that tripped the breaker, however your battery should have worked, perhaps it's not charged.
    Perform a SMC reset

    My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!

    1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
    2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

    These computers have got a damaged NVIDIA graphic which may cause unexpected restarts, kernel panics, black screens... See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Fortunately, Apple is repairing these computers for free, so make a backup of your data and take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller

  • TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

    While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    did the most recent update and now my TB Display turns off randomly on both my air and mini. I running  TB Firmware Version:

    When did you get this firmware version?  My TBD is at 22.2 and the TBD bus is at 23.4.  I thought I had the latest firmware.
