Pavilion ze4900 shuts down in minutes, no error messages

I have a Pavilion ze4900 and it will only stay on for a few minutes and then quickly shuts down. I have disassembled the laptop & powered the unit back on to watch the cooling fan. There is only one fan with heat sink for processor. There is not any dirt on the fan & the inside is clean. I never see the fan run but then again it doesn't have a chance to get warm. I am thinking about changing the fan but not sure if that is really the problem. There has been no change to the bios since it was purchased. A computer store said it wasn't worth fixing but I am attempting to do it myself so what would cause this quick shutdown? The system will bootup & I can login as normal. I have at times been able to view files before it shuts down. There are no error message on the screen when it turns off.

I don't think the processor would get hot enough to need the fan in just 2 minutes. The cooling fan and heat sink don't have any build up of dust. I did completely remove the cooling fan and heat sink which is one unit. I didn't see any heat sink compound between the processor and heat sink but, again, I don't think the shutdown is heat related. If the laptop was hopped up so it runs at above design speed then the processor could get hot very quickly but this is all factory without any modifications. It is a Celeron M processor which is pretty bottom of the line. Maybe the processor is bad or something on the system board is bad. I can't really test the processor or system board because it shuts down to quickly. I don't want to pay money to send it to a repair shop because they are going to want $200 or $300 ++ because of labor to disassemble this thing. It took me 3 hours to take out a big pile of screws which I can only hope that I can get it back together if I manage to find the defective component. I am running the PC with the case off and an external fan pointing directly at the processor and system board so the cooling fan is probably not needed because of the airflow I am providing.

Hi. I recently got a new computer and transferred all my files across using TimeMachine. Whenever I try to sign into any CC program (including CC) the program instantly shuts down and an Apple error message comes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice with no avail and deleted every Adobe product on my computer and nothing is working.

Premiere Elements 11 shut down while starting; without error message

hello everybody,
pe11 worked well at my Laptop.
Since a week it always shut down while starting it.
No error message!
I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your answers!

Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
Files Folder.
Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner

Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As
Administrator.
Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.
Thank you.

After plugging in a USB video capture devise, the computer shut down with a fatal error message.

I tried using system restore and continued to get fatal error messages. Pressing escape, F8,F9,F10,F11,& F12 all resulted in fatal error messages. One time the F10 woked and I pressed exit and save. I can't get it back again.
I tried the recovery disk and after he sixth try I was able to get to the screen where I could restore the computer to the original factory settings. The hard drive was reformatted and the software was reinstalled. After restart I had an initial start up screen. On the first screen all of the defaults were correct english, USA, etc. I hit next. On this page I was to input My Name and the computer name. My keyboard would not input anything, therefore the NEXT would not highlight and I couldn't go any further. I powered down and restarted 2 more times with the same result. On the 4th try I was back to fatal errors and am stuck there. Even the Recovery disk no longer works.

It could be that the database entries for that particular book are corrupted. Apply the fix below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database

My Pavilion G4 shuts down after a few minutes when I plug it in

My hp pavilion G4 shuts down automatically after a few minutes when I plug it in. It does not happen regularly so I'm not sure of the reason of why it happens. The laptop shuts down and when I press the power button, the light on the power button just flashes but it does not start. Even if I remove the charger and push the power button, it doesn't start. I have to remove the battery and place it again to be able make the laptop start again.

Hi rierufied,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are having a problem with your g4 shutting down randomly after you turn it on. When this happens do you get an error message at all? If so, what is the error message? Does this happen both when you are on battery and when it is plugged in? What operating system are you using? What is the product number of your notebook?

Kernel-Power Event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Hello, Currently we are seeing this issue with a couple of our Lenovo T420s laptops with a Solid State Drive. ruffly about 10 or so. The Reboots happen randomly and do not create a dump file. We have contacted Lenovo and they are
not sure why its happening. Since this Crash I set it for Minidump this did not work my next steps will be to Disable Automatic restart on System Failure to see if it brings anything up. I am also looking at using Procmon to dump to a file as well.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Thank you.

We have tested and checked both the Bios and firmware of the SSD Drive's
Bios was up to date and no issue
Firmware was also up to date as well.
Users are still experiencing random Reboots.   I tried to capture the issue with Procmon but since the PC shutdown (Goes to a black screen no power at all even when turning the "Automatically
restart" off under Startup and Recovery) No dmp files as of yet. Unable to configure Procdump due to not knowing where the issue is and what is causing it to happen.
Going to replace one of the PC's with a New one with different hardware to see if this resolve the issue. If anyone has any idea's to be able to capture what maybe happening that would
be great.
Thank you.

Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected

Dear scripters

Adobe InDesign
Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.
OK
This is my script
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select a folder");
bb = app.books[0].bookContents;
for (i = 0; i < bb.length; i++)
chname= File(bb[i].fullName).name;
mynewfile = File(myFolder + "/" + chname);
if (mynewfile.exists) {
bb[i].replace (File (mynewfile));
$.writeln (mynewfile)
app.books[0].save();
Please advice me how to solve this prob?
thanks in advance

You have a serious corruption problem someplace, or a serious conflict with some other software that is running.
If this happens with more than one document, you can start with repalcing your preferences. See Replace Your Preferences
If it's isolated to a single document, see Remove minor corruption by exporting
Another very likey cause is a corrupt or poorly made font. Run a font utility to look for font problems.
Turn off any third party Plugins for ID that you might have installed. Also try turning off your font manager if you have one.
If none of this helps, you may have to reinstall ID.

"Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Now file will not open. Please Help?

I was working on an InDesign file, saved the file and tried to export it. I then got this message "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents" - Return to Finder. I am now unable to open the file as the message keeps appearing at every attempt, what can I do, please help?

The recovery folder is empty and you can start ID normally, correct? But when you then try to open the file that crashed it crashes again? Is that also correct?
If it is, then it sounds like the file was damaged in the original crash. I would let ID try to recover the file once, just to be sure, though. So emepty the recovery folder again, launch ID from the Dock or the applications folder, then use File > Open... to open the file (and it won't hurt to choose the "as a copy" radio button in the dialog). If ID crashes, restart it without emptying the recovery folder one time. If it crashes again, the file is too damaged to open at all.
If it does open, immediately export to .idml, then open the .idml file and save as a new .indd with a new name (so you don't overwrite what you have now).
How much work is invloved in recreating the file? Do you have any older versions?

I never left an open problem....I search, dig and ask, until it's solved....

Sounds like there is an issue with possibly having to many group policies or some other network lag. Are the users "my documents" folder redirected to the server? Possibly using Sync Center to backup the files? If yes, I would check sync center
to make sure it syncs at other intervals besides shutdown. Possibly when they are working or idle for a designated period.

Shut down because of an error

How to fix the error "shut down because of an error"

Perform an SMC reset.
Read all the steps. If the MacBook Air never gets beyond the login screen before it spontaneously shuts down you won't be able to perform the "Before Resetting the SMC" steps, so just skip to the next section.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Determine if the Mac starts and allows you to log in.

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
