MY TOSHIBA L655 SHUT DOWN BY ITSELF AFTER 30 SECS

Hello,
I have a Satellite L655D-S5076 and after booting up i can go about my business for anywhere from 1-5 minutes before it shuts down. It doesn't get a shut down screen or anything just shuts off. I have been looking around and have read some things like clean the fan and i did and that didn't work so i system restored it back to the earliest point i could and still that didn't help. I've also read on one of these forums that it could be the power button? At this point i have no idea what it could be, BIOS? Windows?... I do however already need a new copy of windows because it has an unofficial version of windows on it but i have another computer  with the same thing and it runs just fine. Basically i'm just looking for someone who's had this problem and was able to fix theirs.
Thank You in advance!

what L655?  Full model number please.  printed on back of computer.
may just need dust/dirt cleeaned out of fan/heat sink.  you can do it yourself or have local comp shop do it for fee

  • Emctl shutting down by itself after a while

    I just got 10.1.0.3 installed and a 9i database converted. I can get the Database Control started (emctl start dbconsole) and use it, however, after a while emctl shuts down by itself. Below is what occurs in emagent.trc just before emctl shuts itself down - apparantly gracefully. All help appreciated

    SathThere is but a more important question is why does it quit every few days. Solve that problem and you'll be more ahead than with the solution you asked or originally.
    You can put the program on a timer and have ti launch every so often; you'll have to have it check to see if it's in memory when you do and if it is, then close the launcher and just let the previous running instance continue.

  • After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot  turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

    My Iphone 4s  shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

    On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

  • Airport Express shutting down by itself

    My AirPort Express is still shutting down by itself after using it for a while! I get a connection from my MacBook Pro for a while (green light), afterwards the LED is yellow and my Mac can not find the AirPort station anymore. So I restart the AirPort Express every time by switching it off. After this procedure it works for a while. Also restarts with the restart button do not help. The firmware is the new one; also the Mac has the latest version of OS.
    Please help - Thanks!

    So, the restart takes about 40 to 60 secounds. After restarting, the green lamp appears for few minutes and then restarting again (yellow lamp) and so on and so on. When I take the station off from electricity for a while the green period takes longer.
    Generally, the same problem appeared a couple of month ago, after playing around (I can't remember what) the station worked again, until I changed the place two days ago with disconnecting from power.
    So, maybe it's a software problem?

    Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
    But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out

  • Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D shuts down by itself

    Dear all,
    I have had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. During this time, it works normally, occasionally shuts down by itself maye because it was too hot.
    Recently, it tried to install updates from Windows but never successful. I left the computer to update for the whole night and it was still 2 out of 12 updates ... all the time so I always had to shut the computer down by pressing the power key.
    I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically because everytime I tried to do that it froze. Most other commands became nonresponsive even viewing pictures.
    It was until my computer was unable to connect to a certain wireless network while other devices can that I decided to reinstall Windows completely. It was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer shuts itself again!!!
    I tried to install again and it shut itself down again, but I got into the final stage of set up so when I turned it on again, it was still "finihing the installation may take several mins. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer". I left it on for several hours but it didnt move to any different stage. Before the computer shuts itself down I think I got to the stage after this.
    I tried to press F8 to begin a new installation but it only got into this screen.
    What can I do?
    Please help me! Thank you a lot in advance!
    I am in Germany at the moment but I live and bought this computer from the UK.

    I accidentally threw away my Toshiba box without checking what was inside when I moved out last year and I wasnt sure if there was any disk so I dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk.
    I was installing using Toshiba Recovery inside the laptop, not with an external Windows disk.
    Can I download it somewhere on the Toshiba website?

  • MBP freezes, shuts down, restarts, repeats after log in

    Late 2007 MBP recently upgraded to Yosemite started freezing, shutting down by itself, and then restarting by itself.  I log in, and within anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes after my screen fully loaded, repeats this.  120 gig hard drive is way full.  So pretty sure that is part of problem.  Has been sluggish for weeks.  Have about 18 gigs free.  Attempting to move things off but it won't stay on long enough to do this.
    This morning I managed to access Disk Utilities for repair upon start up, but I was trying different keystrokes to do this. (Posed question for proper keys to do this in another post, but feel free to answer here.)  It performed disk repair and showed all the steps it took.  Two items appeared in red:
    Incorrect number of file hard links
    Orphaned file inode (id = 35716717)
    Then in green:
    The Volume MacIntosh HD was repaired successfully.
    A couple of lines farther down appeared:
    Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    By this time the timer status showing the repair taking place was gone and I didn't do anything for about ten minutes.  Then I restarted, but the problem has continued. While doing this I was offline.

    I forgot to add that right after the note that the HD was repaired successfully appeared:
         File system check exit code is 0.

  • SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself

    Hello Gurus
    A few SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself and this is happening
    for systems which have a version 4.6c and 4.5B in our landscape like PCX.. Analyzing the log of one of this agents the
    message below is informed:
    Mon May 9 04:41:10 2011
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: no permission to
    read /usr/sap/PCX/SYS/profile/PCX_G34_zonepcx
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: Please check sapccmsr.ini
    I tried to find the profile mentioned in the warning but with no
    succes. The cause of the shutdown of the agent is that because the
    correct profile is PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx instead of PCX_G34_zonepcx but
    why it is looking for the wrong one when everything is configured with
    the profile PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx . I also checked sapccmsr.ini but
    found nothing.
    I  can start the agent normally choosing the correct parameter
    (PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx) but sometimes the agent shutdown by itself
    after 3-4 days with the error message above.
    Why the agent search for the wrong profile and where can I change it to
    the right profile ?
    Or is there any other way to resolve it.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ashwini

    Thank you Mani, I will make this test in only one appl server and monitor.
    I will let you know the resul of my tests.

  • Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

    Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

    When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
    Basically, it makes no sense.

  • My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself

    I'm one of the few who are still using iPhone 4 , but anyway, I had this problem happened twice already today. The phone shuts down by itself. The screen becomes dead and black. I have to press and hold the wake/sleep button with the Home key at the same time for it to start. It works for a while, but then it happens again. Can anyone help? Appreciate it much.

    Hello there gilcelis99.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    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.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My macbook shut down from itself

    hi
    after i upgrade to mountain lion my macbook pro shut down from itself when i'm searching or doing somethin (weird proplem)!
    idk what's the proplem is it because i opened more than 2 apps (which i think it's a silly proplem if it's in the mountain lion)
    or because i connected my iphone 5 wirelessly with my my macbook!
    apple needs to fix this proplem, it happens everyday to me!

    Try a hard reset of your iPod:  Press/hold the *home* and *sleep/wake* buttons until the Apple logo appears. 
    Hope this helps! 

  • Macbook Pro shut down by itself at 16%

    I was using my month-old Macbook Pro as usual, and it suddenly shut off by itself. It had 16% battery when it happened, and wasn't plugged into the power adapter. I tried to turn it on again by pressing the power button at least 3 times, but nothing happened. So I gave up and tried to use my iPhone to find out what happened, but it suddenly turned on by itself. I heard that the Macbook tends to do a thermal shut-down whenever it's overheated or something (I'm not sure if it's true though) , but I'm still very concerned because I just bought it only a month ago! Here's some information about my battery that I've got from the system profiler:
    Battery information:
      Model Information:
      Serial Number:          W01174C7KD3LA
      Manufacturer:          SMP
      Device Name:          bq20z451
      Pack Lot Code:          0
      PCB Lot Code:          0
      Firmware Version:          201
      Hardware Revision:          000a
      Cell Revision:          165
      Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          1397
      Fully Charged:          No
      Charging:          Yes
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5400
      Health Information:
      Cycle Count:          19
      Condition:          Normal
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          3542
      Voltage (mV):          11881
    Operating system: OS X Lion
    Is this normal? I really hope it's nothing serious because this is my first Macbook after so many years of using a PC - I'm enjoying using the Macbook Pro and I don't want any reason to change back to a PC. I'd appreciate if anyone can help me!

    Just an update:
    After it shut down by itself a second time, I couldn't even turn my Macbook on for a period of time even when I pressed the power button. After that, the Macbook did start up for about 2 or 3 seconds before shutting down by itself today. However, it was fine when I turned it on today, so it's working as per normal now. I've run some antivirus software, and nothing was found at all.
    I hope the additional information will give you guys more idea as to what's happening. I'm glad it's working now but I'm concerned that it will happen again so I really want to resolve it, yeah. Do you think it might be a problem with the new OS?
    Thanks for your help so far!

  • My mac keeps shutting down by itself

    My mac keeps shutting down by itself. Seems to be when I'm trying to edit video on FCPX or when kids are playing a game. Its an older 2009 20" imac 2.66 Ghz Intel core Core 2 Duo running OS X 10.9.4 
    How can I stop this please? Thanks

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
