Potential Args, Computer shutting down while playing a game

I've only had this mac for 5 months, but it keeps shutting down while I'm playing StarCraft II. It should be able to handle the game, but it keeps telling me to restart and I have no idea what the error says or means. I'm not sure what (4 potential args on stack) means. I'm not sure if it is a frame rate issue and how to fix it or change the frame rate if needed. Any help would be much appreciated. The error is below:

You are only just beginning to feel the pain of Starcraft II on your Mac. Have you seen this List of problems?
Blizzard created the junk, and it's up to them to properly patch it. The list of other well known and respected programs it's incompatible with (LittleSnitch, AppCleaner, FileVault, and PeerGuardian to name a few) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy.
The page also mentions that your CPU can overheat, for whatever reason, and that means total failure for a laptop or early component damage to a motherboard. Gee, that sounds like something that shouldn't be run on a regular basis.

Computer shuts down while playing Facebook games

I've seen some of the threads regarding this but none of the fixes work for me. I formatted my hard drive for reasons other than this so it has a fresh install of Windows XP Home Edition, the latest video drivers, and the latest Flash. When my wife plays Cityville or Castleville, her computer shuts down. I checked the system logs and nothing is there regarding the shutdown. I tried changing the hardware exiliration setting and that didn't help. We've tried the games on Firefox and IE 8 with the latest updates and it still doesn't work. Any help will be appriciated.

The operating system, XP in this particular case, will shutdown the system to prevent damage to hardware if it encounters an instruction which can damage the system. It will usually logs an event which you can view by clicking Start, then in the Run field, type eventvwr.msc and click OK. Then open the both the "System" and "Application" submenus and look for events which are prefixed with a white X inside a red circle. The 6th column from the left will contain the Event ID which can be used to try and track down the source of the problem.

Computer shuts down while importing

This doesn’t happen with every song I try to import in iTunes, but let’s say with 2 out of 10 songs, while importing my computer simply shuts down. Just before it dies on me it says something like: Error, disk locked. I just can’t figure out what’s his problem.
Hp Pavilion dv1000 Windows XP

Problem solved for me... I changed the place of my computer which seem to have helped. I think the problem was heat... too much heat and now I can import a full CD without my computer to shut down. If it is not heat, I read that it could be bad memory. if my computer shuts down again, I will check the memory of my computer.

Computer shuts down while updating Ipod?

Hi
I have a Video Ipod and an old laptop, my problem is that my computer shuts down 2 minutes after I open Itunes.
My question is, whether the Ipod saves the little data that is transfered, when the transfer is abrubted by the computer shutting down?
(If it saves it I can keep on updating tiny bits of my music libary, otherwise I will stop wasting my time restarting the upload proces over and over again)
Thanks

You might consider reposting this question in one of the iPod discussion forums here - which are for both Windows and Mac user problems.

HELP! L305D-S5881 shuts down while playing

I bought a satellite L305D-S5881 about a year ago. It never malfunction or anything. About a month ago I was playing Heroes of Might&Magic Dark Messiah when it suddenly shut down. When I turn it back on, just before windows loads it shut down again. I unplugged de laptop, waited a couple of minutes, and worked perfectly.I didn't pay much attention, I wasn't able to play again for work issues, the computer seemed to work just fine, it remained on for days and nothing happened. Yesterday I tried a couple of games, knights of the old republic and king's bounty and it did exactly the same thing. About five minutes after i start to play, the computer crashes. It shuts down, if i want to start it right away, same thing, before windows loads. Wait a couple of minutes, and it just works perfectly.
I've tried another game, mass effect 2, and it work just fine, the computer doesn't crash.
I don't have the slightest idea what it's happening, and i'll be very gratefull if someone could help me.

See my post, about the same issue, here: http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A205-intermittently-turning-off/td-p...
The reason it starts back up after waiting a few minutes, I've read in other forums, is there is like a "safety" power surge protector which gets tripped when a surge happens. You wait a few minutes for that to reset and the laptop will turn back on. When you tax the system it tries to draw more power and a surge happens again. This is likely due to a bad AC adapter (which can be cheaply replaced), or something internal (bad solder on the motherboard, loose wire connections).

Computer shuts down while importing audio cds?

When I am on the 4th or 5th song, mu computer justs shuts down? Any ideas?
Jenn

are you getting any sort of blue screen, Jenn? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN WHILE CONVERTING

can anyone tell me what going on with my computer? I start converting songs on itunes and is suddenly shuts down..

I don't see that you have had a response to this. I had the same problem in a PC that I built for my sons and it was caused by memory that had gone bad. You can check this by searching and downloading memtest 86+ it is a simply program that tests memory. Follow the instructions from the memtest site on how to create a boot disk or flash drive. If it is memory it is a fairly simple fix.

HELP! Computer shutting down while loading FL studio Plugins! High CPU load?!

Good day everyone. I am in dire need of some help concerning my Hp Pavilion p6-2330 . I am a producier and I use a programmed called FL studio.
I've never had this problem before but now it happens almost everytime. When I open a project with a lot of VST plug-ins or a new VST plug-in it just immeadiatly prompts windows "shutting down". I am not sure if its exclusive to FL studio or a High CPU load in general.
I've tried a lot. Replaced my PSU. Blow out the dust from my hardive throuroughly. I really doubt its a overheating problem because it only happens when opening a project with a lot of vst plugins or opening a new vst on top. and my CPU isnt hot
Is there a crash report i can look at to see the reason its shutting down? What can i do?!

Hi,
The following link shows specs of your computer:
   http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03499435
given "only happens when opening a project with a lot of vst plugins or opening a new vst on top." I think the cheapest option now is to increase RAM from 6GB to say 16GB (using information from the above link). Before goinng out to buy more RAM, you may want to insrease system page file first (similar for Windows 8.1):

(Z77A-G45) HELP! Computer shut down while working and... never boot up again

Assembled the other day but...today it was working fine. Sudenly shut down and never boot up again.
(Z77A-G45 thunderbolt)
i5-3330 3GHz
gpu gigabyte gtx560
Ram 2x4G (High-performance 8GB Vengeance Dual Channel Kit, 1600MHz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V)
psu Silencer MkII 750W
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Voltage at 24 pin and 8 pin connectors are ok and under the tolerance as I saw here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/insidethepc/a/power-supply-voltage-tolerance.htm
I will check the other rails.
Hmmm... starting to suspect that the cause is something else.
Missed the beeps in the past.
This mobo (z77a-g45) never emitted a single one.
Not even at startup when it was ok!
Oh man!
The computer was running well and then suddenly screen went black, no disks activity, no keyboard response, no video, no reset switch working. Fans continue spinning.
Had to pull the plug to stop the fans. Then plug it again but no boot. Just cpu phase led 1 is lit, fans activity and nothing more. No welcome screen, no disks activity!
I will try to test the ram on another computer.
Any other clues?

HELP ME!!! msi ms 7740 with gtx 760 shuts down while in the game

Hi all, I have before yesterday bought a new gfx card gtx760 and each time if I'm gaming example AC4 after a certain time my PC completely shuts down and he starts up again.
Does anyone know why this is?
My psu is a N620 from ms-tech 620 w
My cpu intel i5-3330 a 3GHz
And my motherboard is an MSI MS-7740 (H61MA-E35 (B3))
could you guys please help me?????
Thanks, millenniumgamermsi

could be one of 2 things here!
1: temprature cut off (Please monitor the temps of your CPU and GPU when your gaming and tell us what they are?)
2: Power supply! that unit seems marginal at best as its a split rail unit and may be choking under load (if you have a higher wattage unit try that)

Macbook shuts down while playing video

My Macbook randomly turns off while videos are being played regardless if it is a stream or being played from itunes. The computer only does this while running on battery when connected to the power cord it keeps running. When I am just running on battery but not playing video the computer will not turn off and runs as normal. I am at a complete loss for what could be wrong with the computer. I have checked the power saving options and every thing looks correct. PLease Help

Was this every resolved? I'm having the exact same problem. Notice it especially when I play a fullscreen games (like StarCraft) or video (streaming or iTunes). Just browsing the web doesn't seem to do it, or checking email, etc. Checked my battery cycles and I'm just below 200 (apples says around 300 you'll start to see a decline). Under battery condition it does say "Check Battery", but I kinda feel like this is when the "Check Engine" light goes on in a car - turns on after a certain internal counter goes off but has nothing to do with the actual condition.
Suggestions?
thanks
