New; late 2012; shutting down during Netflix streaming.  Overheat?

Brand new unit.  It shuts down after 30-40 minutes when streaming Netflix and then restarts.   Suspect overheating?  Case gets very warm.  Does not seem to happen with 'normal' usage.   - 2.6GHz i7; 8gb memory; OS X 10.9.5  -  Thanks.

Hi, Will try temp monitoring program.  
System 'crash' report on the latest occurrence follows.  Apple on-line phone support not able to really assist with it. ????

  • 13" MacBook Pro (late 2012) shuts down randomly

    Mac book pro 13" retina shuts down randomly and without warning. The screen goes black and it takes several minutes before it will start back up.
    I've taken my mac book pro 13" retina to the genius bar, twice. The first time I was told to remove some software, which I did and the computer continues to randomly shut down. The second time I was told to make sure that I have at least 12 GB of storage available, which I made happen and the computer continues to shut down.
    What I can tell you, and what I've told genius bar, is:
    The shut down happens when it is either plugged in or not. The shut downs happen toward the middle of the day when the computer gets warm. It is not hot, just warm. If I keep a external fan pointed at it all day I do not get any shut downs. I've spend almost a full day at genius bar and I am looking for some help/approach/information that would help us solve this problem.
    Computer Info:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)
    Yosemtie 10.10.1. Note I was running the latest Mavericks and had the problem too. The upgrade did not help.
    Thank you.

    Their tests are superior to the AHT and so I am surprised that they did not pick up on any hardware faults.  The responses that you say they gave you are in my opinion, to be charitable, worthless.  The fact is that the quality of the technicians at a genius bar are not consistent, some being better than others.
    If I were in your position, I would firmly but politely demand the the MBP be serviced so that the AHT not produce that error any more.  If need be, send the MBP to a repair facility where more experienced personnel can work on it.  If you have Apple care, there should be no charge.
    Ciao.

  • Imac 27" lATE 2012 SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS ON IT OWN.

    My imac will suddenly shut down and then restart again showing a message that it shut down because there was a fault. Has done this a few times now and wondered why.

    That sounds like a Kernel Panic error. Please read Apple's Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic located at
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2546
    and then post the complete report. From that we can sometimes get an idea of what is going on. If you run any antivirus, MacKeeper or any other third party security, anti malware or performance apps of any type that may be your issue. However let's take a look at the KP log first.

  • Purchased the Sony Tablet in June 2012, started to shut down during regular use (blank screen, swirl

    I am a long time Sony customer… mostly TVs and other entertainment items.
    Purchased the Sony Tablet in June 2012, started to shut down during regular use (blank screen, swirly lights comes on, and soft reset required) in September 2012.
    December 2012, issue started to take place more frequent (to the point it was too annoying).
    Sent the tablet in for repair before X-Mas and just got it back from the TX repair center yesterday (1/14/13).
    They replaced the motherboard.
    1/15/13, 11:49AM, the same issue happened.
    I am asked to mail it in again, so they can fix the issue.
    I like Sony products, but this is something new for me.
    I like to know if this is common for the tablet, please share story.
    My concerns are:
    They replaced the motherboard (that is pretty much the core of the tablet!)
    What do I do when my warranty expires in June 2013 and the issue is still there?

    I and many others have the same issue. You can an find some links to reported issues in my thread.
    Sony has yet to acknowledge the issue and define whether it is software or hardware based. This lack of communication is very disheartening.

  • IMac keeps shutting down during startup loading bar under apple sign

    My electricity went out and came back on a minute later. When my computer started up again the font was back to original factory setting. I then restarted my computer and every time it would load up it would shutdown. The computer chimes and then reaches a grey screen with an apple sign. Below it is a loading bar. This bar loads about 10% then goes back down and loads from 0%. A couple minutes later it shuts down after staying at 0%. It keeps doing this routine every time I start the computer. I then did a command s and rebooted the computer to factory reset it. The computer still shuts down and has the old habit of reaching 10% and 0% with the loading bar but now after the loading bar is at 0% it then disappears to the Apple sign and a loading circle. It then shuts down again. This iMac was originally 10.6.8. but i believe i updated it to 10.9.4 and was purchased new around 2008. I also tried to put in a CD with Firmware Restoration CD 1.7. but that didnt work. Can anyone help? or has anyone had similar issues?

    Hello canwary
    Good job on troubleshooting your issue so far. For most issues that deal with your Mac not starting up, consult the article below to see what the issue could be.

  • Macbook Shuts Down During Video Playback

    My computer has begun to shut down unexpectedly when I am watching a movie. I watch about 20-30 mins of a show/movie/other video and my computer will shut down completely, whether it is plugged in or not. My computer is an early 2008 macbook, 4.1, running osx lion. My battery condition is "replace soon" and my fan has gotten quite loud over the past year or so. Any ideas on how I might fix this problem? New Battery? New charger? Internatal cleaning?
    Thank you very much to everyone.

    Hello,
    I am having this very same issue. It shuts down during startup. I can boot into Windows, and using the Leopard startup disc, Disk Utility could not work any magic. I do not have a second Mac or access to one for any backup purposes. I have no idea what else to try, does anyone know something besides backing up through firewire, on how I can either save my computer's data or resurrect the drive? Thank you for your help.

  • N200 shuts down during boot

    Dear Lenovo,
    I have a problem with my N200 laptop. Notebook shuts down during boot. Sometimes it is immediately after "Lenovo screen", sometimes it is when Vista logo appears. I found out that this is always when notebook is "cold". It does't matter if I want to switch on my notebook or if I want to restore it from hibernation or sleep mode. Next thing is that it always crashes when fan starts work at full tilt (I checked the fan but it is clear). When notebook starts correctly then it works without problems. Usually I have to switch it on about three times then it is OK. This problem takes about 2 weeks. I have my laptop about 7 month. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
    And another thing - I forget to send registration card to Lenovo and now I am afraid that I will be without warranty. Can I send it still now?
    Thank you for answer and sorry for my English.
    Gabi

    Yes, problem with the video card sounds plausible! Any not so successful updates recently? It is sometimes to make a good uninstall, which is required to make a good install.
    4in1 drivers should - esp. with W98 and ME - be installed while in SafeMode and with all autostarting programs disabled, for example Antivirus and utilities.
    Else, since you have a damaged regedit, I would reinstall Windows. You might have done something for example an upgrade or new install the registry, not healthy, has made a note of. Some utilities also overwrite and change system files without good results.

  • My macbook pro (late 2008) shuts down but battery is at 25-30%

    My macbook pro (late 2008) shuts down but battery is at 25-30% and I don't get a low power warning box before this happens.  This only happens when the power chord is not connected, and it restarts with no problems once I put the power chord in. Does this mean I need a new battery, or is it an indication of something else? Using osx 10.5.8

    Mine is Unibody 15" MBP late 2008, with the exact problem as yours. It can be a sudden shut down at 25-32%, or, after upgrading to OS 10.7.2, can be hang all of sudden on battery power.
    Condition on, "Replace Soon". From 4.5 - 6 hours when new, goes down to 1 - 2 hours on discrete graphics.
    But after 'abusing' it for the first year in the heat of Jakarta's climate in a non AC room when doing a video editing, before moving back to a comfort AC room at home sweet home, the battery performance is still top notch comparing to other kind than Apple. Also, it caused me to replace the right fan, after a lot of hard work on that first year. Oh, and by the way, I regularly done the battery calibration, at least once or twice between 3-6 months.

  • MacBook Shuts down during startup

    My MacBook started acting slow the other day and then today when I started it up, it was in a constant lock up with a spinning pin wheel. No force quit commands or anything would work. So, I restarted it and now after the Grey screen with the Apple logo, the MacBook shuts down. The only thing I can get running is by holding C with the Leopard disc in there.
    I tried to run Disk Utility from there but everything failed. I'm assuming I need a new hard drive? Is there anyway to save data from within the Leopard disc bootup? Maybe over a network?
    Thanks

  • HP Pavilion a1730n shuts down during boot

    Have been using the Desktop Pavilion a1730n for several months after upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Without any warning signs, now the CPU shuts down during boot up.   When I shut the main power supply switch off and then turn it back on, then switch the CPU on with the front on/off button it gets 15-20 seconds into the bootup and then powers off spontaneously and completely.
    If I try to start it immediately again without turning the main power supply switch off then on and only depress the front on/off switch, it starts to boot but only gets about 10 seconds (varies) in to the boot process before in shuts down.
    What could this be?  the power supply? the mother board?
    ANY ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi , Sounds like the power supply , when a load is put on the supply  it does not seem to be able to cope with the correct output . You can buy a new supply ( same watt output or better )eg; if you have a 400watt supply get 400watt or higher supply as replacment . Checkurtech

  • Computer shuts down during startup

    Hey everyone,
    it shames me a little to ask for help about computers because I am usually ok with doing this stuff myself.
    This time, however, I cannot seem to fix the problem indefinitely.I need a laptop for school and cannot afford another so any help would be greatly appreciated!:
    I will just point the facts out:
    After a few years use (two) it now shuts down during (windows) startup.
    I ended up cleaning the Heatsink/fan yet the problem persisted.
    The model is a Toshiba Satellite A200-PSAF6A.
    I am no longer under warranty.
    The school techs cannot help me.
    A few oddities that I noticed:
    It starts up fine when the power plug isn't plugged in.
    It starts up fine with the power plugged in only in safe mode.
    Using CCleaner and Defraggler temporarily fixed my problem (for about 5 minutes or so).
    I hope that you guys can help me. It's just annoying that I cannot fix this myself..
    If any further information is required please just ask and I will reply with as much haste as I can under my current circumstances.
    Thanks,
    Norak.

    During a "cold start" I may get up to the windows login screen and then it shuts down and restarts. (sometimes it doesn't make it to the windows screen and turns off to restart). Then it will start to load windows and the little bar at the bottom will be loading windows and then freeze. I would have to hold the power button down to turn off and restart. Then I start windows normally and it usually works OK, sometimes I have to do this step again, but eventually I get into windows. Then if I shut down and restart it starts up fine, unless I wait for it to cool down.
    Since this started happening, I have reinstalled vista 32bit to out of the box condition and updated to the latest bios, to no avail.
    Computer has always run hot since new, seems to have very poor cooling. But the fan operates, most of the time on full boar.
    Do you think this is a software issue or a component issue, or cold joint.
    BTW it will not shutdown at all if I keep the computer in the F12 key settings area,im not sure what this place is called, but you choose to boot from cd here.
    Okay, this is weird and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what I had mentioned earlier. I was having some issues with my DVD drive, it was rattling bad and the spin off time was off causing coasters on almost every blank DVD, so I had the thing sent in for a replacement. They put in a new DVD drive, checked the status of my BIOS (V 4.2 which I had all along) and returned the unit back to me sometime around April 22, 2010 -- ever since the thing was working fine. I'm not sure if the bad drive had caused the unit to work erratically.
    Before it was sent in, the issue was of course with the DVD drive, the startup then shutdown problems, plus a whole plethora of other small problems which I didn't bother to mention on my first post. For instance; the illumination lights that controls the media -- sometimes they would not turn off when I shut my computer down. The light stays on even after the computer powers off and I'd have to unplug the AC power cord for the lights to completely shut off.
    My initial problems with the laptop was:
    Media lights won't go off,
    DVD drive rattles very loudly and burns bad media,
    Shutdowns during startups,
    The screen housing would creak every time when I wanted to adjust the position (this happens when I adjust it slowly).
    After they replaced the DVD drive, everything seems to work fine. It's been almost two months now and I haven't had issues with any of the above mentioned problems.

  • Aperture shut down during import

    I started the import of photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Aperture shut down in the process. How do I upload only the photos that did not transfer? I tried import again, but it appears to want to upload the entire library again..

    Have you done any work in the Aperture Library?  If not, just delete it and redo the import into a new Library.
    This may be a good idea anyway, until you determine what caused Aperture to shut down during the last import.  Aperture allows you to easily merge Libraries.
    Make a back-up of your iPhoto data first -- after confirming that nothing was harmed when Aperture shut down while importing.
    Also, if you haven't upgraded your OS to the current version (you have 10.7.1 listed), you should.

  • HT4796 If my PC shuts down during the migration and I restart the assistant, do I have to do anything with my iMac?

    If my PC shuts down during the migration and I restart the assistant, do I have to do anything with my iMac?

    Check the user accounts via System Prefereces > Users & Groups.
    The migration creates a new user account each time it runs, so depending on what it was doing/had done, it might leave a partial user account.
