Please help Lenovo W540 suddenly restarts

I bought this laptop from US one month ago, suddenly when it is running a blue screen appears with error "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" and the laptop restarts. I upgraded the windows from win7 to win8.the same is still happening.
did a hardware test but nothing is faulty. Can't return it to the US as I am in the Gulf now.
is this a hardware or software issue ??
thanks in advance

hi Bauden,
i did nothing to the system. I purchased this laptop one month ago and from the beggining suddenly a blue screen started to appear with sad face and various error types (such as:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL...etc) and the laptop restarts immediately.
when the laptop is runnin normally nothing looks strange and everything is workin as it should be.
I installed win8 instead of win7 from the recovery disks while trying to resolve this issue but nothing changed. also updated the windows and all drivers using windows update and lenovo system update but also nothing changed.
I installed only two additional softwares: Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 & Nik Collection for photo editing
I noticed this issue getting worse
here are the laptop specs:
thinkpad w540
CPU: i7 2.4GHZ
RAM: 16GB
VGA: Nvidia Quadro K1100
Storage: 256 SSD

Please help I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly. I depend on it for work

Please help I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck. I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem. In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password. That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

Please Help, I deleted an account that was the same name as the administrator but was not the administrator. Also a samsung galaxy s phone was charging through the usb port.
I closed out a program and got a message that the temp file could not be stored/saved.
Then a Kernel panic message occurred and restart was necessary.
The restart resulted in the screen with the apple logo and a continous swirl for 6+hrs,
Attempted Safe Mode start up, unsuccessful,

then i closed terminal and then when to disk utility and chose to repair disk with results all was fine. Then ran repair permissions and got similar results from terminal function next I erased disk and then chose to restore from time machine and it is now restoring! yea!

Please HELP Lenovo G410 Cursor Problem

Please help, iam experiencing a very annoying problem with my new lenovo G410 cursor behavior. At some time my cursor always jumps to another arear. for example when iam typing, at some time the cursor go to another area of the screen, and this really disturbs and annoy. is there anybody who is experiencing this too.... is there any silution for this? thx vry mch...

Hai,
If you still have mouse pointer moving when typing, following tips may help from what i experiances before.
Some optical mouse required a mouse pad for it's working properly. it's depend on mouse quality, if u do not have mouse pad on your mouse, some mouse will detect motion error on your tables.
If you do not have mouse pad, pls use a white paper put under your mouse and try it.
Turn off your Touchpad, because when u typing, your hand may be disturb Touchpad area and its mouse point will moving. because touch pad is a sensetive part if something put under it. (Refer to your Fn key to turn on/off touchpad)

Can you please help solve my sudden problem saving photos in version sets?

Saving edited photos in Version Set
Ever since I have owned the excellent Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, I have saved edited photos in a version set with the original. Now, in spite of the 'save in Version Set' box being ticked, they are saved separately. When the edited photo is saved, it says 'imported from hard disk'. It has never said this before.
When the photos are imported from the camera, they are saved in Adobe/Digital Camera Photos/code provided by photoshop (eg 2006-03-10-1632-38). Under properties/history it says imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3. This has not changed. All the saving arrangements appear to be unchanged.
Photos (thousands!) have been successfully edited and saved in a Version Set. Under properties/history it says 'edited version' and 'imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3'.
Suddenly, photos that have been edited and should have been saved in a version set, now say under properties/history nothing about being edited. They say 'imported from hard disk'. In other words they are being treated as a new photo.
I really hope you can help me to solve this infuriating problem. Please ask if you need more information.

Michael: are you still using an old version o0f PSE (e.g. PSE V4)? Problems similar to the one that you described are relatively frequent in old PSE Versions ( I was suffering a lot from them)..... and there are quite seldom in newer PSE versions. Unfortunately, I do not remember which PSE Version became much better in this area (was it V5? or V6?)
If using an older PSE version and encoutering often the problem: consider to migrate to a newer PSE Version..

Please help! Leopard keeps restarting!

After recommendation, I post my question also here:
Hello everyone,
I was installing some gcc libraries and unfortunately something went wrong with the permissions and most of my applications were not working - they crashed immediately after start. When I was reading the crash reports I have found that one library had wrong permission - libstdc++.6.dylib should have been linked to libstdc++.6.0.4.dylib. I have changed it manually because Disk Utility did not help, but then I was not able to start any application. After restart the system does not boot but it keeps restarting after a while (apple logo appears and after ca. 30 sec. the computer restarts)
Is there any way how to repair it without loosing the data? Or the disk should be erased and system reinstaled?
Thank you very much for your answers!

I don't disagree with any of the advice given here but there are several extra things that can be done to improve ones chances in future:
1 - Install AppleJack - it may or may not have resolved this issue but it is a very useful utility especially as it can repair the active volume even when it will not boot normally - be warned that it takes as long as Disk Utility to repair permissions so consider running this option overnight.
2 - Split your disk into several partitions (volumes) and install an OS on each. Backup all data before you try this - I have little experiences of adding partitions to a working disk but I think it can be done.
My G4 has three volumes:
A - my normal working Leopard
B - a basic clean relatively unused Leopard
C - Tiger combined with a full OS 9.2.2 which I can use as Classic or boot into directly.
This gives me four bootable OSs. The options may be reduced for later hardware but the principle remains the same. If all else fails I can hold the option key down at boot to select whichever OS I want. I can also swap disks or use DVDs etc but these things take longer.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner from time to time to put complete replicas of my volumes onto one of my 750 GB SATA disks. These are useful because they can be easily opened to find a lost or damaged item or returned to my main disk as a bootable volume. However, now that all the bugs have been removed, most people will find Time Machine much simpler to use.
As previously indicated, it is surprising how much can be done in Single User Mode to overcome booting difficulties. Experience or luck help considerably. My Unix experience is very limited but I was lucky to find a way to boot my Xserve when a problem arose during a short term lack of an alternative bootable volume.

from what i understand from an iranian friend in dubai IBM and by extension lenovo dealers are very limited..
and the model selection is even more limited..
so much so that i send him a "care package" (you really need to be of a certain age to understand this reference, so google it!) every few years..
under ibm the models available world wide were limited..
have you checked for dealers in singapore..?
or hong kong..?
happy hunting..

Please help! my desktop restarted itself?

hey guys,
this morning i woke up and turned on my laptop, and i realized that all my information was missing...it basically seemed like my desktop had restarted itself and got rid of everything that was on it. (my music, my photos, everything)
i freaked out
and then i digged into my computer and found out that under Users, it still had my original information and applications and stuff.
what happened? and how do i get it back so that it starts up the way it used to?
i feel that the other day, i tried to change my "user name" from "na" to Joana (i got my laptop fixed a while back and they named it na...the little house icon...you know? sorry, im not a big computer buff).
so i feel that maybe when i tried to change it it somehow moved everything away?
i hope i explained it alright...

have had the same problem. also not a computer buff - mine had not been in for work when it would go to sleep after i had shut if down. happened a few times then i lost photos, lots of them. took it to local APPLE repairs and they found nothing, 21 days later.
last night it did it again - powered off at home and sleeping when i got to the office.
any advice?

PLEASE HELP : Lenovo T61 recovery

hi,
I have tried to install windows XP in my lenovo T61 laptop. during that i havent deleted the hidden service partition, but i deleted the partition that contained windows vista. Currently XP is installed, but i want to get vista back , what is the dos commands that will allow me to view the hidden partiton and then enable me to run the vista setup from it ?
Thank you for support.

There is no DOS command that I know of.
There is a repair diskette that can fix it but it requires a floppy drive.

PLEASE help - iPod freezing, cannot restart

Okay. So my iPod froze, and then ran out of batteries. My iPod also did not (and does not) show up in my iTunes account where it normally would. When it ran out of batteries, I plugged it into my computer and held down the Select and Menu buttons. An apple came up on the screen. I didn't realize the apple was SUPPOSED to be there, so I held down the Menu and Select buttons again. It made a weird musical sound (coming directly from the iPod, the headphones were not plugged in) and now the screen is blank and white. I tried "updating" the iPod in order to completely reset it, but it says that there is a software malfunction.
I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to make my iPod go back to normal.
(second time I've posted this, I know, but no one replied)

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

Please help me as.. i got an update of 10.7.5 and current version is os x lion 10.7.3

i got an update of 10.7.5 and current version is os x lion 10.7.3 as i always do to update it and at the end it says the update is tampered
please help me

You could try restarting into the Lion Recovery HD by pressing/holding the Command+R keys until you see the Apple logo. From the OS X Utilities Menu, select Reinstall Mac OS X which will download/reinstall Lion, but it will be the most current version of Lion (10.7.5). The install will not harm your data or apps. It just reinstalls the OS. Once the install finishes, run Software Update to bring your system current.
Back up your system before doing any of the above!
One Question: Are you sure you're running Lion 10.7.3 and not Mountain Lion 10.8.3? Because your original post shows you're running Lion 10.7.5.

HT4053 I have downloaded iOS 7 on my I pad but am not able to activate Face Time nor message. Please help!

I have upgraded to iOS7 on my I pad wi fi+ cellular but am not able to activate Face Time and message. The error message I get says "Please check your internet connection". Please help!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

My iphone wont charge anymore? ***...please help

Craig

try resetting the iPhone with the home button and sleep/wake button until you get the apple logo. If this doesnt try charging through another computer if you havent already. also try different usb ports after restarting the computer.
If none of these work I would call Apple or take to a local Apple Store.
