P20 Blue screening and shutting off

I have an SP20 S203 Notebook and have been having some serious issues in that it randomly reboots or bluescreens then reboots
It has 2X 512mb Dram chips as fitted from new
I have read that many Tosh memory modules needed to be replaced as some were faulty? could this be my problem?
In addition to this I have noticed out of the 3 fans on the system the middle smaller fan never seems to be on when the other 2 are? is it perhaps broken and causing overheating?

Hi
your model was not covered by the memory replacement program. So in that aspect it wasn't affected. But you might have problems with the memory anyway. So if you suspect them being faulty;
remove one, work for some time (as long as you need to be sure the machine works better than before or until you get a new bluescreen). Remove the one in the machine and reinsert the other one. Repeate the process above.
If you get bluescreens with both mems then first check that they comply to the specs. If they do then look for your problem elsewhere. F.ex. what does the bluescreen say? It might not be a mem problem at all. It could be a driver problem or something completely different.
If you can find a pattern with the bluescreens and memory modules maybe you should consider replacing the faulty one.
Short and hasty explained I know. Sorry.
Good luck
Tom

  • My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.

    My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.  I cannot restart it.  A soft restart did not work.  I tried connecting to iTunes on the PC but it did not detect the device

    Did you try resetting the iPad?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears- let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't do anything, try this for the issue with iTunes not seeing the iPad.

  • Late 2011 model display problems: white screen and shuts off on its own

    A few days ago my macbook pro (late 2011 model) starting going nuts. The screen would turn white or become pixelated all the sudden, even if all i'm running is Chrome. The laptop is not over heated. This is what would happen:
    Screen goes white or become pixilated
    Computer shuts off on its own after a moment
    Attempt to reboot, stuck on apple logo screen (pixilated)
    Shuts off on its own again
    The only way to reboot is through safe mode.
    I've tried resetting SMC and running an apple hardware check.

    It's most likely the macbook pro 2011 denied by apple GPU problem many many others suffer from too.
    you can read about it here if you have a few days.

  • HP m8300f Blue Screen and Shuts down by itself

    My 2 yr old HP m8300f 32 bit operating system AMD Athlon 64 X 2 dual core processor 6000+ 3.0 ghz with 3.0 ram Media Center with Vista home premium with SP2 edition PC keeps shutting down or freezes. Sometimes I get a blue screen,black screen,no signal or freeze up at current task. It also has a hard time at startup and when it does this a beeping noise is heard. Sometimes constant and sometimes a series 3 beeps stops and then repeats itself. I 've went through all the self helps short of system recovery discs. Safe mode has been accesed and all system seems to check out o.k.  Although it has shut down during some of the tests.  All drivers updated and many programs removed.
    I have researched all over the web and some say it is a driver problem, while others say it is hardware related.  One person on another forum stated they took their same PC to a tech person and they said that the monterboard had some bulging capacitors.  I have not found any solution so I am at a loss! Anyone have an answer or fix?
    Thanks,

    If it beeps then read this article:  HP BIOS beep codes.
    Try this bootable memory diagnostic disk:  Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using Imgburn.
    Try this procedure:
    Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. Plug your PC back in a give it a go.
    You might want to inspect your motherboard for heat damage using a flashlight.

    When I close out my Itunes window my computer goes black then to a blue screen with words about crashing then shuts down in Windows Vista!

    Thanks, I did that yesterday and it worked. I tried to repair it but it said there was a fatal error and I don't even need that Mobile device support. anyway. So after I uninstalled it, it never happened the next two times I closed out Itunes after that.

  • Iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen and turning off, and wont go bk on

    my iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen, turning off and not going bk on for a few hours then it comes on ive reset phone  works then it starts doing same problem over again

    Hey there aussiekris,
    It sounds like your phone is unexpectedly turning off. I suggest the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Hi mgarcia3,
    If you are having an issue with
    As someone who uses my iPhone almost constantly I can certainly understand how you would be upset to have it not be able to even turn on. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    Be sure to note the last step -
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • PROBLEMS!! BLUE SCREEN AND SHUT DOWN WHEN CONNECTING IPOD OLD MINI!!!!

    help help help!! Long story though....
    Unfortunately, my computer crashed and i needed to send it away to get the whole system revamped, deleting all my old files, including my entire itunes library. I am, therefore, trying to retrieve and re-download all my old songs and piece together my library. As you can imagine, this is very long and frustrating.
    I did, however, find my old 6gb 2nd generation ipod mini (clickwheel) that has a fair percentage of my old itunes library, after i thought i had lost it forever a long time ago. I have plugged it into the mains charger and although there is expected battery issues it still plays fine. ANd i have a new ipod on order so not too bothered anyway.
    What i want to do though, is plug in my ipod to my computer and retrieve the songs from it to my new itunes, so i can put them on my new one. But everytime i lug it into the computer, a blue screen comes up and says it is needs to restart to prevent damage because it can't launch a non-executable program!!
    Is there anyway to overcome this? Can i get the songs from my ipod mini? or will i have to sit and download thousands of songs from scratch???!!!

    My new iPod 5th gen did the same! I think it might be a YouTube and iOS connection glitch

  • Inspiron 15R N5010 Noise then crashes with blue screen and shuts down.

    I have heard this is a common problem with dell laptops. And it has never been addressed to. I'm hoping to get a clear cut answer here.
    The issue is already mentioned here by many users, and all over the web too.
    Please,
    I would like to know if it can be fixed, or should I scrap my  Laptop,since its onboard graphics.
    In case its a driver issue,
    Can you also point me to a post where this matter has been addressed to successfully.
    I've performed diagnostics  many times. After a few tries it gets the laptop going for a while. Then the problem appears again.
    Thanks

  • Hi apple, i have recently purchased a iphone 5s of december of this year, so far things have been fairly smooth, but until recently my phones screen has been turning blue and shutting off over and over. i dont know what to do because i cant even use it.

    Hi apple, I have recently purchased an iphone 5s of december of this year. So far i have had no problems and things were going fairly smooth. But up until recently, i was using my phone and all of a sudden the screen went blue and shut off. I was able to get it to the home screen an i though it was a 1 time thing. But it has been happening a lot recently and it has gotten to the point where it keeps trying to shut itself off then the screen goes blue. I dont know what to do and i was wondering if there is some kind of a refund for this or some way to fix it.

    Wow.
    How rude.
    He gave you the correct answer.  No one can tell you any more.
    Try the basics from the manual.  If this does not solve, then you would have to have Apple look at the iphone.
    Why would you be so rude to someone who 100% correctly answered your question?
