Portege M200 goes off automatically without doing anything

I haven't done anything but my nootbook goes on sutdown without doing anything.
Can anyone please help me to fix the problem.

Do you have a Satellite M200 or a Portege M200?
Anyway, check for dust in the heatsink. If there is too much dust, the CPU will overheat, and the system will shut off to avoid damage.
You can remove the dust using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.

    Yup, typical hardware issue, sometimes caused by water damage

  • IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

    How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
    Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

  • I have read the various threads regarding slow boot up times, on my 2009 MBP it takes 1 minute to get a usable interface but without doing anything else the HD is active for a further minute, is this reasonable ?

    My MBP after the Lion upgrade takes 1 minute to put something usable on screen and without doing anything else the HD is active for another minute.
    I have visited the Genius bar where they went through some maintenance routines and permissions repaired etc but the boot up time remains the same.
    I have cleared the cache as suggested in other threads but is this the best I can expect as with SL the computer booted up in about 30 seconds ?
    I recall reading there may be unwanted  programs loading at boot up time but I do not know where to look in the system to check.

    Thanks for the reply, I have followed your suggestion but unfortunately it has not improved the boot time, do you have any further advice you could offer me ?
    I use my MBP for working on and storing my photographic images following my Photoshop adjustments, these individual image files are between 50 to 60Mb, I was reading about OSX self defragmenting files below 20Mb, these files are not intended as start up items but do you think storing approx 200Gb of these files could be having so effect ? I am a fromt end user so my limited knowledge is restricted to repairing permissions etc. I am probably clutching at straws but it be better to store these images on an external HD in addition to my backups on other HD's.
    Thanks.

    No computer can do a thing without using memory. 1.5 GB is very little. It's normal.
    3 or so hours from a full charge may also be normal, for what you are doing. As batteries age, they don't last as long on a full charge as they did when they were new. All batteries eventually wear out, and are easily replaceable.

  • I have attempted to install iTunes multiple times but to no avail. I have installed every file, and followed every instruction on the support pages. I click download, and it takes me directly to the "Thank You for Downloading" page without doing anything.

    I have attempted to install iTunes multiple times but to no avail. I have installed every file, and followed every instruction on the support pages. I click download, and it takes me directly to the "Thank You for Downloading" page without doing anything. I am running it on FireFox, and I have tried with Internet Explorer, neither have worked. I have been trying to do this for weeks now, and I am getting majorly frustrated. Please, help.

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Flashback goes off automatically

    Dear,
    I have enabled flashback feature on our database 10 g r2
    But it goes off automatically
    I queried select flashback_on from v$database and it showed OFF after 6 days..in the meanwhile, i queries the same and found it ON
    This happened earlier too but at that time i thought might have been done by mistake
    but since it happened again, its getting me worried
    Please Advise

    RVWR encountered some error and it disables the flashback to avoid system from crashing
    Can you please tell me how are these errors encounterd
    And can i delete the flashback logs every night manually from simple OS commands or not?
    I have kept flashback retention to 1440 which means one day but it seems like the flashback logs are not being purged on daily basis , instead they gather in the Flash recovery area
    Please advise

  • My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?

    I don't want to have to restart or reinstall my iTunes again as I'll have to redo all my playlists etc

    Likely that CD then. Check visually for damage, blemishes, etc., not that there's anything you can really do about those other than return the CD.
    The drive sits there and spins because it is trying to re-read the CD.  iTunes has error correction which is contributing to all this re-reading, I believe, and you may be able to disable that in preferences if you aren't picky about the result.
    You can also try other rippers such as Max or XLD.  I know those have configurable error correction.  I like XLD but it is slightly tricky to use until you find that for some reason the author has put all settings under preferences, not just the set once and forget ones.

  • Portege M200 turns off without warning.

    Hi guys,
    My Portege M200 has just developed a problem today. It shuts down without any warnings or info.
    The event viewer hasn't logged anything out of the ordinary, I suspect that its an overheating issue because I'm looking at the cpu and gpu temps using speedfan and PC wizard and they both read the cpu temps in the 50's and PCWiz reads the gpu temp as 57. But I am getting no info on the fans is that normal??!!!??!!
    Speed fan has 1 manual control for a fan (doesn't say which one, but seem to be the cpu fan) which I now have set at 100% to test it and see if it shuts down again. This has been on for about 5 mins and the cpu temp is down to 36.
    I have no way of controlling the gpu fan or getting the temp down on that....
    Is there any way of testing the fans/ sensors for determine where the problem is??
    Can anybody think of any other things that I can check or that would cause this to happen??
    Thanks Guys.

    I also believe this happen because of overheating. In such cases the notebook will simply switch off without any warning. Sorry buddy but I believe it is time for cleaning up. Now is the question how you want to do this. Alone or it should be done on professional way.
    Your decision!

  • My husband purchased a Mac and without doing anything, it is picking up my itunes library.  How can he get it to recognize his instead? I was told I needed to turn off wifi sharing in mine, but can't find out how to do that.

    What a ding dong, I put my entire question in the subject line.  First time user, sorry.  My husband purchased  desk top Mac, and without importing anything via USB cord, it automatically is picking up my itunes library. He closed out, and signed in with his user id and password, and it still will only pick up mine.  Someone told me it is because I have turned on "share wifi" in my itunes account, and need to turn that off first, but cannot figure out how to do it.  Any suggestions?

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • Touch 2nd turns off automatically without operating

    I got my ipod touch 2nd for about two month and I have always been using it without turning it off. From the time I got it this device sometimes was turning off automatically and it coudn't be turned on by pressing Power button on the top. The only way to make it active is using Power button and Home button to reset it. This problem makes me upset. Could anyone give a help? Thanks a lot!

    Is your battery getting low on power? I've noticed that if my battery gets too low the screen will freeze and trying to turn it off doesn't work. As soon as I recharge the battery, everything is back to normal.

  • My new macbook air storage keep going down without doing anything.

    so, i got a new macbook air 11 inch, 120 gb. i set it all up and stuff and when i check my storage i only got 99 and stuff left. how can that be? i didn't download anything, all i did was set it up. I download stuff and delete it so my storage keeps going up and down. Then one day, i have to restore my cousin's iPad for her using my macbook which has 99 something gb, then after that's done, the storage goes down to 93 gb. Seriously, i didn't do anything. please explain to me if the stuff i do takes storage or not becauseI have to save storage for school works. Thank you for reading

    Move your cursor up to the Apple menu and select About this Mac then select Storage from the options at the top of the dialog box that opens. This Spotlight view will show you how much of the drive is being used to store Applications, Files, Music, etc. Other is something of a catchall group so it doesn't really help.
    One explanation for the "missing" space is Backups. If you are using TimeMachine the computer will make backups to the internal drive whenever it isn't connected to the TimeMachine drive. This 'missing' space really isn't missing because if you really need it the computer will automatically delete the internal backups to free it up for you.
    Another explanation are cache files and system logs. Your programs and the operating system need to keep temporary files and they aren't always immediately deleted. Your browser(s) also create cache files which makes your internet surfing experience much faster for sites you frequently visit. These caches can be quite large.
    To delete/trim system and application caches you can restart your computer while holding the shift key. This is a safe boot and among other things it will delete/trim caches. Reboot normally once you get to the Finder. Also, remember to empty the trash can - putting stuff in the trash doesn't immediately delete it. If you use iPhoto you must manually delete its trash too.

  • My 3 months old iPhone4 display went off without doing anything other than receiving calls. My line is in connection but cannot interact with iPhone

    Hi
    I bought an iPhone4 from leading electronic device dealer in UAE three months back and using a pre paid mobile line in it. i use once in a while my email through iPhone, but i haven't used last couple of weeks internet. Today i have received so many calls without any interruptions. Suddenly when i am looking to iPhone nothing was coming in the display. Then i tried to make calls to the number which keeps ringing, but i cannot interact with it. No buttons (either Home button or power button) responds me, provided the battery is almost fully charged. My iPhone serial no. is 811121V8A4S and P/N is MC603AE/A.
    Appreciated if any solution is advised as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    Lenovo support (for me in Canada at least) is based in Atlanta, so I'm surprised you found a tech with bad English...
    Your problems sound like windows problems, not hardware problems -- are you running XP or Windows7? If you google based on your OS, there are threads to be found on slowing down the start menu behaviors.

  • IPhone 5c keeps turning on passcode lock without doing anything!  We don't want to have to plug it on and wipe it again (all since iOS 7.1 update)

    Basically my sister updated her iPhone 5c to iOS 7.1, before this she has a passcode on it,
    She then took the passcode off, after the 7.1 update. Yesterday it randomly put a passcode back on so she tried the ones she had used before and the usual 1,2,3,4,, 0000 ect. But nothing worked, so aft being locked out for 2 hours she had to plug it into the computer and wipe it,
    So after setting the phone back up with no passcode, this morning it happened again, we have tried the usual numbers again, and tried resetting it (so turning it off and on, and holding the lock and home screens to reset) now there is no point blanking her phone again if it's just going to happen again later, and I have had to surrender my iPhone to her temporarily (which I have never had a passcode on, and hasn't had any issues)!
    What can we do, beyond traveling an hour to take it back to apple!

    The passcode is coming from the backup file. She must not have removed it as was thought. You will either have to restore the phone as new, or restore to a backup file before the passcode was added. By the way, is this an employer provided phone? If it is, the passcode requirement may be a policy they've implemented.
