Need help? My laptop overheats and shuts down when up loading

I installed Premier Elements 8 on Vista and finished my first video and when I try to upload through the share option to youtube Before 1/2 way my laptop overheats and shuts down. I have tried several times. I tried pluging laptop directly in to network so I was not uploading wireless. No luck. I also tried turning my screen down so it would make less heat. I dont know what else to try.

What is happening is that the CPU and the HDD's are being stressed more than with most other operations. This is common and can be observed in places like Speedfan and Task Manager. There are a lot of files being written to, and read from. This is especially hard, if one only has a single internal HDD, as it must do so very much, and is being asked to do it all at the same time.
In general, editing Video is about the toughest task that one can ask of a computer. The Export phase is about as tough as editing gets. If one is editing AVCHD footage, the CPU usage goes up even higher and almost exponentially!
What you observe is not a fault of the software, but just how all NLE software must work.
Unfortunately, most laptops are not properly equiped with adequate cooling to begin with. They also usually have a single HDD. That was why I went with an extreme "gaming" laptop to start, and then modified it for NLE work. It works fine, but I had to add the cooling pad, and Speedfan.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Iphone overheats and shuts down when charging ?

    hello,
    since i have had my iphone 4s replace in april my iphone overheats and shuts down when charging?
    can anyone help?

    My 4S has recently shut down twice so far due to heat: Once in 100+ deg. in Arizona, when I left the phone in direct sunlight too long (that'll kill anything), and once just today, 96 deg. in Colorado, with the phone in my shirt chest pocket, not in direct sunlight. Each time, the phone was also encased in the hermetically sealed "Lifeproof" case, which probably contributed to heat build-up. If you're using a similar case with yours, either make sure to keep the phone in a cooler, shaded area, or just take it out of the case when the temps are this high. Definitely don't leave it in direct sunlight! In my case, although the 4S seems more heat-sensitive than my previous iPhones, I still find this behavior within acceptable parameters. But I wonder whether the overheating episodes might cause permanent damage...?

  • AC1200 seems to overheat and shut down when transferring large data amounts

    I have the AC1200 in an AC network.  While it is nice to have as a range extender, I bought it primarily to use as an AC bridge to two music servers that require ethernet connections.  
    Each night, i transfer data wirelessly from my desktop computer to one of the music servers that is connected to the AC1200.  I have noted that, if the data being transferred takes more than half an hour or so to stream, the AC1200 frequently drops off the network.  Then, when I go to restart it manually, I find that its case is very warm, sometimes almost too hot to touch.
    The unit sits, exposed, on top of the cabinet in which the servers are located. Absolutely nothing impedes the flow of air from the top, bottom, or any side of the unit.  
    Doe ths unit run hot normally or does the transfer of "excessive" amounts of data cause it to overheat to the point it shuts itself down?  I was using firmware with a June 2014 date, but, just before writing this, updated to the latest version, from July 2014.  The unit is about two and a half months old.  Other than this issue, it seems to be okay for its intended use.  
    Any thoughts? 

    I've had this problem off and on for the entire time I've owned the unit. I've spent hours and hours with tech support, both online chatting and on the phone. I did notice the unit was quite warm, but guess I thought that was somewhat normal and never mentioned it to tech support. Mostly the problem is that it drops the signal after 20 to 30 minutes when streaming movies or music. I think the unit is defective, but apparently can't get tech support to deem it so unless I spend even more time doing the same things over and over. (uninstall, reinstall, reset, rename and around and around we go.) 
    My 90-day warranty will expire in a couple days. Meantime, I just spent another 41 minutes talking to customer service this morning; they said that since I had to end the last chat session (after 2 hours) I still need to talk to tech support AGAIN and go through "troubleshooting" AGAIN until the tech deems it defective.
    I am so fed up with this I could just scream.  I even paid for tech support at one point early on, because I gave up on this unit and reinstalled my old range extender. All I needed them to tell me was how to re-establish a network connection/internet access, and it cost me $30 to find out I had to remove my network before I could reconnect to it...a 1-minute operation. How much punishment should I take?

  • V100 overheats and shuts down; shuts down during system diagnostics

    I have a V100 that has been overheating and shutting down when i run applications such as Photoshop and MS Office 2003. It has a 2Gb intel duo processor and 2Gb of RAM. I downgraded to Windows XP with service pack 2. The warranty expired in July 08 and until 3-4 months ago didn't have this problem. It happens with or without the battery, typically I have it plugged in. I took it apart partially and cleaned out any dust by the fan and such, but there was very little. I tried to run diagnostics on it through Lenovo System Toolbox (used to be called PC Dr.). During the system stress test it overheated and shutdown. I then ran the full system scan and when it got to the multicore test for the processor, it again overheated and shutdown. I'm not sure if this is an indication that the processor is failing or if maybe it just needs some thermal paste or if there is another problem going on. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Possibly its high temperature issue.
    High temperature causes a shut down in order to protect the hardware from damage.
    But the question is why the temperature increases to critical level?
    One reason might be a graphic card driver from nvidia page. Such driver does not contain overheating protection. So you have to use the driver from Toshiba page.
    I see you did it
    Well, the notebook seems to be a new one.so usually the dust should not be a problem and the fans should work properly
    One tip; please ensure that you have enough free space around the notebook to ensure good air circulation...
    However, I recommend asking a ASP in your country for an check maybe its hardware related issue.

  • Macbook Air 2011 CPU Maxes Out then Overheats and Shuts Down...

    I've been having this problem for a while now but have learned to deal with it with SMC Fan Control to basically keep my fans maxed out at all times. This is obviously not ideal.
    The problem is that at any given time some small, random task in activity monitor shows CPU usage that is very high, often at least 50% CPU and other times as high as 120% It has happened with the tasks like dock, safari web content and virtually any other task you can imagine.
    For example, I just tried emptying my recycling bin and it hung half way through then my computer shut down. What is going on here?
    Details:
    - Macbook Air mid-2011 running Mavericks
    - Never have more than one app open at any given time, usually just Safari with about 5 tabs, max
    - 3rd party applications running in background include Dropbox, Copy, Backblaze, Flux, Sophos anti virus, Jumpcut, Caffeine and that's it
    If I'm doing something like a Time Machine backup, I have to disable Wifi, max out the fans and only then will the Macbook Air remain cool enough to complete the backup, otherwise the Time Machine process maxes out the CPU, overheats and shuts down. This happens with virtually everything now.
    How can I start trouble shooting this problem? I've run the hardware and system repair checks with no results, done an SMC reset, etc.
    This really seems like a software issue more than anything, like something related to the way tasks/processes are handled...any ideas anyone? This is such an annoying problem!

    Do the problems also occur in "Safe Mode"?
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • My 4s overheats and shuts down

    When taking videos my iphone 4S overheats and shuts down after 6 to 10 minutes.  I took it out of its case so it's a white naked phone but the heats still does not disapate.  Any thoughts?

    Well the iPhone will shut down if it overheats .Since taking videos is processor intensive and screen is on , depending on outdoor temperature it might reach it's temperature limit and shut down .

  • IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

    iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
    should I bring it to apple ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

  • Incredible overheats and shuts down using GPS.

    My phone overheats and gets in a shutdown reboot loop when using GPS. It did this while plugged into car charger. I concluded it was overcharging. Today I tried using GPS without charger. There was direct sun hitting the screen (I'm in Florida). It soon shut down and got in the Terrible Loop. I've read a lot about this online and there are many different experiences and views. The phone does not do this inside the house with a wall charger.
    Does anyone know if Verizon has a definitive answer for this. I've read of other customers with this problem getting replacement phones that do the same thing. Someone speculated it was the original screen used for the Incredible (made by Samsung).
    I checked on getting a Garmin navigation system and read they also can overheat and shutdown. I prefer to use my phone but don't want to have to drive holding it in front of the air conditioner with an umbrella over it to use Google navigation.
    Any info and advice are appreciated.
    Thanks to all.

    Marchare, you will want to make sure that you have the right fuse in your car for your cigarette lighter, also are you using the charger meant for the phone or some third party charger? Sometimes the charger can go faulty and cause problems, usually not sending power, but occasionally it can send too much. Also , the phone will shut down if the battery is overheating, usually you will get a orange-green blinking  before it gets to this point.
    Personally, I don't plug my phone in while using the GPS until it starts getting low on the battery. While they sell the carmount, it isn't advised to use the gps in direct sunlight either, contradictory I know. When your phone overheats and shuts off, you will want to let it cool down before trying to turn it on again. If this doesn't solve the problem then you likely need a new battery or perhaps even a new phone.

  • Need to make automatic startup  and shut down for the instance

    hi to all
    i have os : Red Hat lunix as 3 , woth oracle DB 10g 10.0.1
    need to make an automatic startup and shut down for the instance when i start and shutdown the OS
    i tried Use dbstart and dbshut scripts then created file dbora at dbora as a script
    then i did
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
    nothing worked
    if you will attach me any files
    my mail is :
    [email protected]
    thanks much
    Ahmed

    Hi,
    The /etc/oratab should have an entry for this database with 'Y' in the last field as:
    Oracle_sid: Oracle_Home:Y, so when dbstart command issued it will check the oratab and starts the database.
    I advise you to keep the dbstart and dbshut in different scripts and save them directly in the runlevel directories, instead of creating links.
    thanks

  • ZV6000 Overheats and shuts down

    My ZV6100 has started to overheat and shutdown. I have noticed the cooling fans are not coming on as the computer gets hot. However after overheating and shutting down if I wait a few minutes and restart the computer both fans come on and stay on. So it's like this, when I start the computer and its cold the cooling fans come on for a short time (at startup) and then go off. As the computer warms up and then gets hot the fans do not come on as they should to cool it back down. Any ideas?

    Try a hard reset of the bios, power down, unplug the power cord, remove the battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds, insert battery and connect power cord, power up, see if anything changes.
