My toshiba laptop keeps turning off for no reason

my laptop is a Satellite A205 s7464 and when its on it randomly turns off. I cant seem to find the problem, its not overheating or anything, but it constantly does this.
can anyone help?

The cpu fan may not be function causing the computer to shutdown. Does this happen when you walk away from the computer for awhile? Could it be set to hibernate?
the product specifications states the under some condition your computer may shut down not sure what that means?

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off for no reason

I have not dropped it, it will just be sitting on my desk and turn off, and then I have to hold the power button and home button to get it turn tun back on after a few minutes. It has not gotten wet, and I have not done anything to the iOS at all. any ideas?

Connect device to itunes and hold power and home together
When it restarts, immediately release home key
Keep holding the power button for 3 secs
Without releasing power, hold home too for 10 secs
Then release power but dont release home
Keep holding it for about 12 secs(until you hear device detection sound)
Your phone is in DFU mode now
Click restore in itunes and see if it works
If backup is not possible, you will lose all data

Iphone keeps turning off for no reason

My iphone seems to shut off randomly. It acts like the battery is low. I have to plug it in to get it to turn back on.

Sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My ipod turns off for no reason and the battery is fully charged

I've had my ipod for a week and have had nothing but problems with it! It turns off for no reason while listening to music and the battery is fully charged. It even does it in the car while connected to the fm transmitter/charger. Please help! Also I bought a movie from itunes and I can hear the movie playing but I can't see it play. Thanks for your help!

I've had my ipod Photo for almost a year and just had the same thing happen for the first time - it just stopped, fully charged, while playing. And, it froze up in the sleep mode. I followed the instructions to reset it ( toggling the Hold Switch on and off) but nothing happened on the first 3 tries. I let it sit for about 15 minutes while searching in the Help & Apple Discussions forum and, just now tried toggling the Hold Switch again and noticed before doing so, that it had shut off. I toggled the Hold Switch to the locked position (Hold) then to the unlocked position and it came back on!
I'm sorry I can't tell you why it happens. If anyone knows, I'd like to know, too.

8820 Turns off for no reason

My 8820 turns off for no reason. The only way I can get it to turn back on is by taking the battery out. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What did you do?

I think a wipe with JL-cmder with a reloading the OS fresh would be in order...

If the reset does no work
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Maybe the replacement is defective.

Service turn off for no reason

My service was turned off for no reason. When I call to find out why my service was out they first said nonpayment. I am not behind on my payments. The person on the phone check and sure enough I am current with my account. I now have to wait two more days for some one to contact me about getting my service turned back on. They have been off since Monday night night. Really what kind of service is this. Do I not count as a customer? I wonder how many people this has happen to. I really think its time to change providers. I would like to go with the company that has the Hopper.

Good Morning,

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning off for no apparent reason?

My iPhone 3GS sometimes turns off for no apparent reason? Sometimes this has happened mid-call but mostly it just happens upon random, if anyone knows how to solve this problem or has had this problem In the past, I would be grateful for any replies. Thanks

Having the same problem but unfortunately not covered
Noting i have updates to latest os software 4.3.5 in Aug 5th but it happened to me again?
is it battery problem? Shall i send it for service and maintenance??

3gs phone turns off for no reason

iPhone turns off for no apparent reason. Battery is at full capacity and I just synced it. I have the latest 4.3.3 software. Any ideas? My girlfriend has the same issues and we use different computers and accounts to sync our iPhones. We've had the phones for a little over 2 years now.

Thanks to everyone who has had input into this problem for me. I now have my phone working again. What did I do...?
1st I got two of my smarter younger brothers to help and they proceeded to try a variety of things including:-
a) swapping batteries from their phone with mine, which didn't work
b)swapping SIM cards with mine, which also didn't work but did allow us to have a longer play around with my phone as it didn't turn off when a different SIM was in the phone
What worked? We decided to "Restore factory settings" on my phone. My phone doesn't remove Contacts, Calendar entries and one other personal item which I can't recall when you use this function but we still saved my contacts to one of my brothers SIMs and also moved a number of photos, recordings, and video over to my memory card.
Once this was done I put my SIM back in then restored the factory settings. There was just enough time to get to this function, just note that if you do this function you may need to have your "Security Code" handy.
I don't think that there is any conspiracy with the phone companies (I'm with Virgin Mobile), but what I think happened was that my Brother in Law sent me a Xmas message that had some inbuilt functionality (packet data??) that my phone needed to download to view it. I think this was the cause because when my brother's SIM was in my phone I received a msg on my phone that read "Unable to receive msg from..." and I select "OK" which I think rejected it.
Hope this help someone out in the future? Hope that I haven't been to vague. Let me know if you would like any more info.
Cheers, and I hope all get their phones working again.

Phone turns off for no reason! Help!

Hi
I've got a Nokia 6300 phone. For some reason, all of a sudden, its been turning its self off for no reason. When i switch my phone on, it starts up like normal, but then a letter 'G' in a box appears in the top left hand corner of the screen, along with a yellow envelope which rotates and turns into a paperclip. Then the screen turns white and the phone turns itself off. This seems to happen everytime i turn my phone on now, i have restored the factory setting, but this has not solved the problem. Can anybody help??? cheers.

My internet sound will turn off for no reason...

There are times I can play music on youtube for hours and be fine and other times the sound will just cut off for no reason. This happens whether the computer is plugged in or not. When I reboot the computer the sound will usually start working again but today the sound cut off again after just a few seconds. I'm using firefox and vista. Could it be an issue with one of those?

Can't hurt to reinstall the driver.

Mac Pro turns off for no reason

For the past week or so my Mac Pro is on occasion just turning off, as if the power cord had been suddenly pulled. But only the Mac itself is cutting off, the monitor and other peripherals in the room remain running. There's no dimming in the power as far as I can and after today I don't believe that it is a power surge or loss that is causing the problem. Today the computer has started almost continually turning itself off after shorter and shorter time periods. Just winks out. I've checked all the plugs, ran DIsk Utilities and have the most current OS version installed.
I'm stumped and find that with the machine only staying on for 5 minutes max now that my ability to tech the machine is severely hampered. Any ideas where to begin to look?

The Mac Pro wasn't behaving but nothing we can do. And rather than occur on cold boot, it was at its worse on wake from sleep, which a firmware update helped resolve, and models built after April didn't suffer from.
A UPS protects your equipment and extends the life probably of components, like modem and the rest, and keeps it running better with fewer problems. I would never run a workstation and $5000+ of equipment (and data has value) without. While no single power conditioner can correct all power quality problems, many can correct a variety of them.

Surge strips have their place, just not going to do a lot to clean or condition voltage or some problems, and sometimes just a way to overload an outlet. I've found the best surge protectors in hardware supply store.

Mac momentarily turns off for no reason?

My mac just randomly shut off for like 2 seconds. The screen was black and i couldn't even hear the slight noise from the internal hardwares. Then after the 2 seconds, everything returned to normal and the computer started to work again. I believe I wasn't doing any processor intesive task at that moment. So will this harm the laptop? Is there anyone who already had this problem before? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
