My HP Pavilion All-in-One shuts down during certain computer games. Any ideas why?

My HP Pavilion All-in-One is a year old, and has started shutting down on certain PC games and on one online game, Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why or what I can do to prevent this? The games were not from original disks, don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. We have uninstalled them, but may buy originals if this would make any difference. Thanks

Linda, welcome to the forum.
It sounds like a heat problem to me. Most laptops and All-in-ones are frankly not meant for gaming. Also, you could try installing any patches that are available for the games. This could be part of the problem if not the heat.
Please let us know if this solves your problem or not.

Photosmart c8180 all-in-one shuts down-restarts repeatedly

My Photosmart c8180 all-in-one shuts down-restarts itself repeatedly. Blue screen message B367A5E0. Have Window XP. Have not been able to locate a description of this error message.

Hi there 57nomad,
To make sure this is not software related try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Help! All-in-One shuts down :

Hello, I have an old psc 1215 all-in-one printer. It made it's job for a long period of time with success, now I only need it for random prints once in a while so I don't want to buy a new one. The problem is that the printer shuts down when sending the printing command from the computer to the printer. I have tried with two different color ink cartriges: the 57 one and the 28 one. Tried running the HP Diagnostic Utility with no success, it is reporting that everything is fine. My warranty has expired, don't know what to do now. If anyone could help me I would much appreciate it, also, have you ever experienced something similar to this? I tried searching this problem on Google but with no success, it seems no one has ever had this kind of problem.
Thanks in advance and I hope we could figure this out!
P.S. I am using Windows XP SP3 with all the necessary drivers installed correctly.

Also, I suggest you update your software.

TS3276 I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails except my main computer. Any ideas why?

I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails (ipad, iphone). However, my main computer will not receive emails anymore. Why?

Ok. So this is interesting.
Previously, I had checked my storage with Yahoo Mail Plus and I had tons of available space.
Similar to this post, I sent an email to Yahoo Mail customer service outlining my problem. Did not receive a response.
Despite my Yahoo Mail Plus account showing plenty of available space, I decided to clean-up (delete emails and delete the resulting Trash) the various folders in the Yahoo Mail Plus account.
While deleting emails from the Sent folder and Spam folder in Yahoo Mail Plus, my Mac Mail started uploading my inbox from Yahoo Mail Plus.
I don't know if someone at Yahoo Mail "fixed something" in response to my customer service email or whether Yahoo Mail wasn't allowing Mac Mail to upload my Inbox due to some "folder sublimit" issue that wasn't readily apparent (which was "resolved" when I started cleaning up the Yahoo Mail folders).
I know it wasn't the overall storage that shows on your Yahoo Mail account because I checked that as one of the first things.
Anyway, I'm back up and running. Thanks for responding and working with me to try to figure this out.

My mail is loading very slow all of the sudden,but web pages are instant,any idea why it takes forever to load when i click on any mailbox

my mail is loading very slowly all of the sudden,web pages are instant,takes forever to click on a mailbox and read the mail ,any ideas

Using mail or an other application?
Same problem on different mailbox?
1- try an other mail client
2- try with different mailbox (google, icloud, ...)
This can be a temporary problem from your mailserver ... wait 2 or 3 hours ...

Some photos from one day are showing up on my photo stream, and others from that same day are not. Any idea why this might be?

Took a bunch of photos on vacation one day, and it seems like the first batch from one day are not showing up, but then all of a sudden, the ones from the second half of the day are there. They are not showing up on the photostream on my iPhone on which I took the photos, or on my iPad or in iPhoto on my computer. Any idea why this could be happening? All the other photos I took all week showed up on my Photostream.
Is there anyway to force these photos into the photostream?
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated!

photo stream uploads photos from your photo app when it is connected to wifi and the photo app has been closed correctly. That may be why your seeing photos pop up on different dates

On two occassions, all contacts were wiped off the Ipad. Any ideas why this would happen?

On two occassions, all Contacts were wiped off the Ipad 2. Any ideas why this would happen?

Did it happen during a sync or did they just disappear? After they were gone, we you able to retrieve them during syncing? Are you using any 3rd party apps to access your contacts or just the built-in Contacts app?
In any case, I've not heard of or expeienced this on my iPhone 3G (synced with Outlook and now Google) or my iPad, although I've only had my iPad for a short time.

My HP Pavilion All-in-One often shuts down during PC games.

My HP Pavilion All-in-One is just a year old. It shuts down more and more frequently with PC games like Age of Empires and Age of Titans, and the online game Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why and what I can do about it? The games were not from original disks and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Thanks

Bioshd-8 on pavilion all-in-one

Hi! This has not been my week. My HP Pavilion All-in-One PC kept on freezing and crashing on me lately. I ran the F9 diagnostic and the hard drive test failed. My HD is a WDC WD6400AAKS 65A7B2 (WD-WCASYC373484). The error code came up with BIOHD-8 and Error: A Smart test failed on the drive.
My PC still boots up, internet works, and other programs seem to work except for a few. I recently added an HP F4100 printer on it, it prints, but when I went to the printing preferences and clicked on the "services" tab, it froze and had to shut it down. It rebooted fine but keeps on freezing when I click on that tab as well as in the run backup under the HP support Dashboard. I removed the printer and added it again--same problem. I also added a Seagate external drive and it wouldn't do a windows backup (failed). It does do my backup to the external drive from my backup schedule set up on Norton 360.
Is the HP support the problem here (have not uninstalled it)? Or is my HD failing? When I first got this computer, I had the same problem but it was within the warranty period and HP replaced the hard drive. I've had this desktop for over a year since HP replaced the original HD. Is there anyway to repair this error? Like doing a system recovery? I made recovery discs for this computer. Would that fix the problem or would it come back again?
If I buy a new hard drive, will I encounter the same problem? Is it a motherboard problem or a hard drive problem? Some of the comments I have read suggest either a HD or motherboard problem. Please help. Thanks in advance. This is the only computer I have left as my laptop crashed earlier, hence I started using this desktop. (Footnote: the laptop was also an HP Pavilion entertainment laptop dv model-but that's another story).

Your hard drive is dying, replace it.
This is a common problem in PCs, not just HP.

Hp pavilion all-in-one green screen problems

I purchased a brand new 23 inch HP pavilion all-in-one, set it up and used it for 3 or 4 days but kept getting GREEN SCREENS on face book videos and other websites...had to reboot constantly to correct the problem but after a few hours it returns. I phoned the store & they said it was a defective computer, so I packed it all up & returned it to the store & got the EXACT SAME COMPUTER & now I'm having the identical problem, so I phoned HP & a technician did some minor changes, rebooted it thru remote access and said 'there all fixed' but later that day the problem returned AGAIN. I heard this issue is due to INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN FLASH & WINDOWS 7/8, so either windows needs to fix it...or HP needs to fix it...PLEASE HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS so we don't have to reboot constantly!

Hello again @Nordic4U,
Actually if you restart and the problem goes away temporarily then I suspect that you have a 3rd party application making a change that is causing this issue. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 8), which will walk you through disabling all non-Microsoft Services and your Startup Items. If the problem goes away at this point then we know you have a 3rd party application causing your issue.
Now you need to narrow it down till you find the problem. You can do this by enabling 50% of the Services and see if the issue is still fixed. If it is you know it is not one of them and you can continue enabling the Services and Startup Itmes until you indentify what is causing your issue.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

How do i close all apps before shutting down-Ipad

How do I close down all apps before shutting down iPad?

Click the Home button once to display your Home Screens. Double click the Home button. That should display your open apps at the bottom of the screen. Press one of those icons until they wiggle and a red dot with an "x" appears appears on each icon. Press the red dot to close down each app. Press the Home button when all apps are closed. You may need to press the Home button again to get back to the normal Home Screen display.

HP Pavilion All in One Not Detecting External Monitor

Hello I have an HP Pavilion All in one 23-g010 running windows 8
I purchased a VGA to USB adapter so that I could connect my external HP 2009m monitor and it worked just fine. I had to reset my computer and I used System Image Recovery everything else works fine except now when I plug in the adapter and click on Share it says " Nothing Can be Shared From this Desktop" When I look under Screen resolution it just says Generic Non-PnP Monitor and wont allow me to select anything else. I tried downloading drivers but it just says my computer doesnt meet not meet the minimum system requirements to install the driver. I am at a loss as to what to do, I work at home and dual monitors is a must.
Thank you for any help

Did you create the "Windows System Image" before you purchased the USB-to-video adapter??? After preforming the System Image Recovery, did you install the drivers for the USB-to-video adapter??? The drivers for the adapter should have been included with the adapter or are available on a 3rd party website.

Can you use Dual Monitors on an HP Pavilion "All-In-One" Desktop?

Hello,
Just seeing the words "dual monitors" on the forum makes me realize I have several extra flatscreen monitors sitting around and I always loved them at work. I have an HP Pavilion All-In-One Desktop and is it possible to run dual monitors on an All-In-One desktop and what would I need in the way of accessories (cables, etc.) to be able to do that, if it's possible? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
What is your AIO computer ? Many AIO computers do not have video out ports. You can use something like:

Fan always running on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W)

The fan on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W) seems to be always running (and it's not quiet). I believe I'm running the latest BIOS and I've already checked to make sure the air vents are clear. I'm not running any memory or processor intensive applications. Any suggestions how to reduce how long and frequently the fan seems to be running? Thanks.

Hello @jmgoldsmith,
I understand that you are having issues with the fan always running on your HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000 Desktop PC. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer the number you provided is not a product number (example : HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000t CTO Desktop PC has a product number of BN997AV). I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

New hard disk for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

I need to get af new hard disk drive for my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc. I have great difficulties in getting in touch with HP denmark since my product is out of waranty.
My questions is if the PC can handle a disk larger than my current on on 500 GB. Further more I am not sure about other potential limits the PC could have ini regards to speed and other parameters on a new disk drive
This question was solved.
View Solution.

As your computer is out of warranty, please purchase a 500GB - 2TB 3.5" SATA2 or 3 hard drive from an online or local retailer. If the new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive, you may have issues using the HP Recovery Media you created or purchased.
If this is the case and you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.
Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE. (Download the Windows 7)
Direct link to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. (Use to create the media from the ISO)
