P55-GD65 boots for 1 second then stops

My P55-GD65 worked lovely for over 2 years but now suddenly it does the following:
It boots for 1sec and then stops. During the boot led6 (of the CPU phases) flashes on and the fans start spinning. This process repeats itself every 3 seconds.
I did the following:
checked the PSU by disconnecting the 24pin molex, shorting pins 15 and 16, and verifying all voltages.
Disconnected the supply to all devices, except for the mobo, still the 1second boot behavior.
Removed the 4 memory strips and placed only 1 in the 1st black bank
Maybe worth nothing is that I never switch my comp off, but keep it in standby. Does this wear out some parts?
Somebody an idea what this could be? Or how to debug this?

I did:
--clear cmos
--took another memory strip
--took another but old power supply with 20pins molex
--removed video card
all did not change the 1second boot behavior.
I fear I have to give up the mobo. Is repair a viable way to go?
No, probably best to replace the mainboard. If you buy the board from a computer shop, see if they will test the cpu and PSU for you if you buy the mainboard. Just to make sure.

Ac-adapter plugged, white led on side lights up, pc boots few seconds then stops working

Hi after plugging in the ac-adapter the white led on the side lights up, pushing the start button boots the laptop but just for a few seconds and it stops working totally. Removing the battery doesn't change a thing. I can detect a light burning smell. Doesn't look promising.... Warranty is no longer available. Wondering what repair could cost.

Please identify your notebook/pc .
Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc at the barcoded sticker.
Post items numbered 1 and 2 on the following example of an HP notebook's barcodedimage. Your barcode may be slightly different but will still have the important imformation needed for us to help you.
###Do not post the serial number as it is personal information.###
Post the installed operating system version ( and whether it is 32 or 64-bit ) and whether the CPU is an AMD or Intel product
Not posting all of the information as requested will delay our responses and slow troubleshooting of the issue that led you to author a thread.
Is your notebook/PC still within its warranty period?
BTW..DC powers the notebook and charges the battery. The external power adapter changes AC into DC.
Best regards,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

IPod nano (4th gen) plays any song for 40 seconds, then stops

Strange behaviour from my 4th gen iPod nano:
1. When plugged into Logitech iPod dock, plays any song selected for 40 seconds, then stops. Hit play, it plays for another 40 seconds, then stops again. (Logitech iPod dock works fine with my wife's iPod nano.)
2. When plugged into the Pioneer car stereo, the car stereo reports that the iPod is in SET UP mode, which it never comes out of. (As above, car stereo has no problem with my wife's iPod.)
3. iPod nano is detected normally by iTunes and works normally when plugged into desktop computer.
4. iPod (and iTunes) software is up to date.
5. Resetting the iPod (Menu + Centre button hold) has no effect on either (1) or (2) above.
6. Help?

Update: Restore to factory settings does not solve this problem. I'm really stumped.

Song Plays for 9 Seconds then stops

One of my songs on my iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB pink plays for 9 seconds then stops. It plays perfectly in iTunes. My iTunes software and iPod software are up to date. I tried restoring it but no luck. The song file isn't corrupted because it plays on my sisters MP3 player and in iTunes and in Windows Media Player. I've tried Apple suggestions too. If nothing helps I'm going to go the store I bought it at because I have an extended warranty, to see if they can help me.

Does the song play all the way through on the computer? If so, reload this song (or all of the songs if you don't know how to do manual) onto the iPod. If the song doesn't work on the computer, e-mail Apple for a replacement download.

HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.

HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop. I have made sure that the latest sound driver is installed and this makes no difference. The laptop is new so there is no other software on it other than the pre-installed stuff operating on windows 7. In sound options all looks well and the device is said to be working properly. Even the sound test in device manager sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.

I can't play youtube videos. I will play for about 12 seconds, then stop, and restart over again. I tried youtube on IE and it works there. What do you suggest I do?

Battery charges for 20 seconds , then stops. Lenovo yoga 3

My battery started having sudden drains when in sleep mode. As soon as i woke it up it showed 0% left and shut down. I installed all the updates. The problem seemed solved for one day. Then it drained again but this time did not shut down. It kept going and when plugged in shows 'plugged, not charging' so i started the calibration. That was yesterday. This morning it is still running. I so do not want to send it back, but if there is no way to fix this I may have to
Moderator note: Post edited.Messages moved to this thread from https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Edge-Yoga-Flex-Laptops/Battery-charges-for-20-seconds-then-stops...

I broke off the calibration since it seemed to be doing nothing at all, then let the computer fully drain.On stertup everything seemed fine for a bit till it then again failed to recognise the battry being charged. I gave up,and plugged in laid it aside. After a few hours opened it up again and presto, battery regognised, fully charged and now after a night in sleep mode 98% left and still functioning...

My Ipod Touch will only search for available Wifi networks for a second then stop, and it will never find any networks anywhere.

OK I own the 1st generation Ipod touch and granted I bought it used and its pretty old, but the Wifi doesnt work at all. When I click on the checkmark box it turns on and it looks like its trying to find a connection, but it only tries for one second (literally) and then stops trying to look for a connection. It wont bring up any connection to choose from no matter where I go, it wont find one connection. Please help me this thing is driving me insane. I was told it could be a bad IP address, and that there is a way to get a new one. But How? I already reset it and restored it and nothing seems to fix it. So now I dont know what to do with it now.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

Can record audio for 10 seconds then stops

I have just put a new mobo in my agp G4 and the audio in jack seems to have a problem . I can get it to work but for only 10 seconds at a time. It will record but then stop and start again in 10 seconds. The audio out works fine no problem with that.
I've never had his happen before. Is there a fix for this?
thanks

Had to reinstall the os and that fixed the problem.

Photobooth works for one second, then stops.

It used to work. Like all the time.
I'm using a Logitech camera, which works fine in Skype and iChat. But when I open Photobooth, the camera turns on, works for a period of one second, then it stops. If Photobooth is open but behind another program, when I switch back to Photobooth I get a quick one second refresh of the image before it freezes up again.
When I Apple-T, I get the 3-2-1 countdown, then it takes a picture of the frozen image and adds it to the previous photos.
The camera is plugged into a USB 2.0 card I installed last year. Everything else on the card is working. I've even switched ports around, and everything is working (which makes sense, because the camera works in Skype and iChat.)
I was hoping to use the video function to record some voiceover stuff and then transfer the audio into iMovie.

I would try Repair Permissions.
This is done with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities using the First AID tab.
If that does not work I would Reset the PRAM
Hold down AppleALT+PR keys on restart until you have three start up bongs.
If that does not work I would download and install the Combo Installer of the OS level you are up to.
