Q10 random reboot without warning

Hello, A new problem has surfaced with my Q10. The device will restart on its own without any warning. It will restart twice a day on avg.I am running release 10.2.1.2976 and I believe the battery is in pretty good shape since it still holds a charge for the same length of time, as always. Any thoughts? Thanks, Rick

Has anything changed on your device? A new app? A configuration change? Something else? Was the device recently dropped or anything? Anything that happened just before this behavior presented could be causal, so think carefully.
Is there any consistency to how this happens? For example, I noticed with my Q10 that if I set it down on a table in just a same manner (actually gently, but dropping perhaps a centimeter or so), then the device would reboot. I figure there is something loose inside of mine, but haven't done any further diagnostics since it's not my "daily driver".
If you can find something consistent, then you might be able to figure a treatment. For example, if perhaps the battery is just a tiny bit loose inside, and jarring the device causes a reboot, then using something to better secure the battery might be helpful. For instance, a business card, cut to the size of the battery, and wedged between the battery and the device back cover, might help that situation.
Of course, if it's something deeper inside the device, then only a trained hardware technician should open it up to try and figure it out.
Good luck and let us know!

HELP, my macbookpro reboots without warning

Sometimes, while i use the trackpad, either dragging one file or selecting multiple rows, the macbook pro reboots.
The only thing in common to all reboots is that the system freezes for 4-5 seconds and then reboots without warning. console doesn't report anything. it has always happened while using the trackpad, but i seldom use the mouse, so i can't say if this would happen with the mouse too. Also, it happens when i use the trackpad one-handed, holding the button with my thumb and dragging with another finger.
When the system reboots it takes longer than usual.
Any idea? how can I find out what is wrong without reformatting the whole thing??
Thanks
Andrea

Take a look at this thread:
Is my P.S. the problem?
I had a similar problem. I'll bet you are experiencing a stop error called MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I causes a very fast reboot once the blue screen appears. I posted a link in that thread to the explanation on the Microsoft website.
There's a couple of potential causes, including an insufficient power supply, incompatible RAM, processor too far out of spec (OCd) or high temperatures. I'm pretty sure my problem is due to the PS... hope this helps you narrow down your troubleshooting some.
Its my understanding that only a couple of passes of Memtest will be sufficient in this case to verify RAM compatibility, because any more than that and the power supply will become stressed (remember increasing heat in the PS decreases its efficiency), possibly confounding your little experiment...

Random reboots without notice

I just bought an Idea Centre Q190. It came with Windows 8 and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1. However, the computer now appears to be randomly rebooting without notice -- it has rebooted both in Modern UI and desktop mode, and in administrator account and a local account. The only thing in common is that the computer was being actively used (someone typing or clicking on a mouse). I am worried if the computer is overheating -- is that something that could cause this and so I then need to take it in to a service center? Is there a way to test if overuse causes the reboot?

hi ted1992,
To check if the desktop is overheating, try to monitor your temps using HWMonitor.
Alternatively, try to:
1. Enable automatic restart on system failure under Windows Startup Settings (check this thread)
2. Check the Event Viewer (press Winkey+R > type eventvwr) and navigate to Custom Views > Administrative Events for error events
- Link to picture
After making the changes above, observe the computer. If you get any errors, try to capture it or post a screenshot here.

3750-24T-L randomly reboots without a cause

We have a WS-C3750X-24T-L switch that has 2 300W power supplies installed that is randomly rebooting its self about once a week. It is connected to a UPS, we have confirmed that the UPS and line power have not been interrupted at any time when the switch restarts. The logs show the switch was: Last reset from power-on. We have flipped the supplies positions in the switch and it still reboots. I have attached the output from running show tech.
Any ideas what may be going on?

Hi,
First off, I am trying to discard bug CSCtw50892, in which the switch shows "power-on" no matter what the actual cause is.
If there is a crash or anything, this bug does not allow us see the actual last reset reason.
Could you reload the switch via console out of business hours?
Switch#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm] <<< (press enter)
Thereafter, you should see the following when typing "show ver"
Router uptime is 3 days, 18 hours, 39 minutes
System restarted by [reload cause]
System restarted by reload or system returned to ROM by reload
Let me go through the show tech and get back to you.
Kind regards,
- Ed

Firefox 36.0.4 randomly crashes without warning and especially when mutiple windows and tabs are open-never happened earlier, very frequent now.

I am currently researching for an article to write and consequently have many PDFs open simultaneously. I use the Foxit PDF plug in.
However, I've been doing this for very long now and have never faced such crashes where all my windows close without a warning despite there being no other processes running. I get no warning whatsoever. I usually also have YouTube and Gmail open as well. The crashes have happened far too frequently in the past 4-5 days for me to ignore it and assume it to be a rare fault.

enter the menu go to help or ? and start with addons disabled. if it still doesnt work follow this description https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help

IPad reboots without warning

Since updating ios 7.1.2, my iPad reboots towards the last 30 seconds or so of downloading a tv show or if I try to download more than 1 show at a time. Has anyone else experience this and any suggestions on resolving. It's frustrating!

TRy to clear your cache by closing all open apps. Double tapping the home button and swiping up all the apps that you see will totally close them. Then turn off your device for 1 minute then on again. If this doesnt work, you can also reset the setting ( setting, general, reset, reset all setting) this will only reset the setting without affecting your data. It is always a best practice to have back up before you proceed

VM's Reboot without Warning

I am using OVM for development test environments using a Dell 2950 with 32GB of memory. I'm good on memory usage and disk space.
About a month ago I created a new VM with OEL5.4 named "alta" with 2GB memory. I also updated Domain 0 to Oracle VM server release 2.2.0.
The problem I'm seeing is that alta will reboot spontaeously. It usually occurs when downloading something from the internet or copying files across from a mounted directory on another server.
I've checked /var/log/messages and there is no message in either the OVM Server or alta indicating the problem that caused the reboot. I've tested it by tail -f on the syslog and nothing shows up when the reboot occurs.
I've never had any other VM's spontaneously reboot so this is a real puzzler. Any suggestions on how to capture what is going on?
Here's the vm.cfg for alta.
acpi = 1
apic = 1
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
disk = ['file:/var/ovs/mount/0DEAA78E20204555982F4A6B7E78BDB4/running_pool/362_alta/System.img,hda,w',
'file:/var/ovs/mount/0DEAA78E20204555982F4A6B7E78BDB4/running_pool/362_alta/u01.img,hdb,w',
'file:/var/ovs/mount/0DEAA78E20204555982F4A6B7E78BDB4/sharedDisk/SVD01.img,hdd,w!',
',hdc:cdrom,r',
disk_other_config = []
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
keymap = 'en-us'
maxmem = 4096
memory = 2048
name = '362_alta'
on_crash = 'restart'
on_reboot = 'restart'
pae = 1
serial = 'pty'
timer_mode = '2'

Instead of installing the kernel debuginfo rpm and using crash, you can simply run strings on the core dump and look for the kernel log messages. Or you can configure a serial console in your guest, and use the xm console command to watch the guest kernel console messages. You can even record them to a file with the script command on dom0.

Reboots without warning

Hello, has anyone had the problem of their flip just turning off and rebooting out of the blue? Mine has been doing this, and it is frustrating to say the least. Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated. It's about 8 months old, never been dropped to a hard landing.
Scott

Hi Scott and Welcome to the forums.
Have you upgraded the firmware to the latest version within the past 8 months?
Its quite possible you are running an old version and it needs to be updated.
Make sure you have the latest Software for your device and carrier installed onto the computer.
click here to get ur carrier software - http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
This is the device Software, not the desktop manager.
Download and double click to install to your ur computer. Don't plug the device in yet.
Once done that, go to C Drive: Program Files: Common Files: Research in Motion: App Loader and double click on loader.exe.
Once the welcome screen comes up, plug in the device the battery and hit next. When you see the PIN number appear after maybe a few minutes press next.
Once it gets to the device application part, Select only things you need, untick all other languages etc.
On the last page before you hit finish, you will see a 'ANDVANCED' option, click this and make sure both the check boxes are fixed.
This should fix ur issue.
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

Updating from iTunes 11.0.1.12 to 11.0.2.25 - Reboot without warning

Hi, I need to deploy iTunes & QuickTime to around 1000 computers. These computers run Windows 7 x64 Ent. So I created my package to deploy the different MSI by command line.
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour64.msi
QuickTime.msi
iTunes64.msi
Everything is working perfectly if not for the rebooting problem when the iTunes64.msi is installing. I use these properties when installing iTunes64.msi.
REBOOT=ReallySuppress
STANDALONE=1
QUICKTIME_IS_INSTALLED=1
AMDS_IS_INSTALLED=1
APPLEAPPLICATIONSUPPORT_IS_INSTALLED=1
BONJOUR_IS_INSTALLED=1
MEDIA_DEFAULTS=0
REGSRCH_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0
IS_ASU=1
DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0
DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS=0
And the command line is "msiexec.exe /i iTunes64.msi /qn". So I need to know how to force iTunes to NOT reboot during the installation process from the command line. Anyone?
Thanks in advance for the help!
GBoucher

I solved the problem myself finally. After checking with Orca inside the iTunes64.msi I found that a CustomAction was the problem. The CustomAction in question is Set_REBOOT and it's reference in the InstallExecuteSequence table. So I just created a new mst file and now my msiexec.exe /i ... work perfectly.
Have a good day!

Random reboots during phone calls after upgrading to OS4

My 3GS is rebooting without warning in the middle of calls after the upgrade - never did this before. This has happened at least five times today without any pattern: one 50-minute call was fine but other shorter ones have been cut off without warning. Battery is fine. It's been doing this ever since I upgraded last week.
Also I have noticed the whole phone has slowed down dramatically, presumably due to multitasking loading up the CPU?

Try doing a restore.

Has anyone experienced their iphone5 randomly shuts off without warning?

i often have this problem with my iphone5, it just turns off randomly without warning. i press the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time to turn it on again. i thought at first it was a batterry issue, but the thing is it happens randomly, sometimes at 50%, 80% and 30% battery life.
one minute i'm using it normally, then after a few minutes being idle, i find out its already shut down.
any solutions?

I am having the same problem on a 12 inch PowerBook. I left it in sleep mode for a couple of days and when I went to use it, I noticed that it was very warm and that it had shut down. When I hit the power button, it gave the usual chime but would not start. I tried various things and finally removed the 1 gig RAM chip to see if that was the problem and it started fine so at first I thought it was the RAM. But I put the RAM back in and it started fine so now I think it was overheating. I've noticed before when it was asleep that it was not cooling off so it seems to be drawing power while asleep. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this?

I am having trouble with custom color settings. It randomly reverts back to North American General Purpose without warning. This is a big problem for me. My customers (professional photographers) expect consist colors in my printing. Help!

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

HP Pavilion PC keeps randomly shutting down without warning

My PC will randomly shut itself off without warning. This is especially annoying when I am trying to download the new Windows 10 update. I at least know it is not a virus, because I have done several scans and nothing has come up. If anymore information is needed to give a better diagnostic, please, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance.

TouchSmart 610-1115uk Randomly Shuts Off Without Warning

i have had this TouchSmart for about 2 years now and it is in immaculate condition. physically apart from dust, which i clean out regularly, you'd be mistaken for thinking it was new. in terms of operation i have always been careful to look after it too, running regular scans of the HDD and hardware, updating drivers and being careful when it comes to what i download.
i have recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro x64 (within the last 2 months) but didn't do a clean install, i simply upgraded from Windows 7 Pro x64, and to be honest after a few tweaks the computer was working better than ever, it was faster both running programs and in terms of startup time, and graphics looked better than ever.
then about 2 weeks ago it just shut off without warning, not shut down like if you'd asked it to, but just went blank like loss of power, i powered it up and it didn't do it again for quite a while and so i assumed it was a one off. but it soon started doing it regular. i've gone through every thing i can possibly think of trying to diagnose what the problem is, i've checked all wires and connectors, cleaned out all dust and checked for overheating, updated drivers, removed the extra RAM i'd installed not long after purchase, wiped the system and reinstalled Windows 8 from scratch, deactivated Threading on the CPU, and have reduced power to the CPU down to 50%.
this last action did reduce the frequency of the shut off issue significantly but it just seems completely random, i can be running any number of programs and it can work fine for hours, and then i can be doing nothing on it and it will just die.
i have run no end of diagnostics on it and they all say everything is fine, no viruses, no errors and no build up of heat (i've monitored the temperature rise when running and it never gets over 40 now with the CPU power turned down).
please can someone tell me if i'm missing anything, and if i can solve this without HP as my warranty ran out a few months ago, thank you.
updated: the shut off problem seems to occur more often when the computer isn't really having to process very much like when it is left idle or when i'm just using the internet, whereas if i play a game or use a resource hungry application it rarely happens.

I'm going to reply here just in case someone else happens upon this post and wants a definite answer like I did...
My Problem
My computer randomly shut down as if the power had gone out. I didn't shut it down on purpose, hit a button, put it to sleep nor was it running updates and needed to restart... it simply, shut off. It shut off much like the power goes out in a home, however all of my lamps and other electronics in my room were on. It was only my computer that shut down.
I followed a lot of advice in the forums and it did turn back on a few times but only for a few minutes before turning off and never coming back on.
I feared it would be the motherboard but a friend informed me it could be the Power Supply (the brick) and I saw THIS post and thought... it has to be that... or at least I HOPED it was that... or I was switching to Mac.
Never heard a response back to my reply to this post, and I didn't see a follow up to the guy above seeing if it worked for him.
The Solution
I decided to go ahead and purchase the power supply part for my computer which is the HP TouchSmart 610-1130f All-in-One series. It needed to be a 150W (hard to find but is sold in the HP Parts store).
This is the part info: 609919-001 In stock Powersupply - Madeline-R 150W 19V EPS2.0 Shasta
Upon receiving the part and plugging it into my computer, it worked. That was 9 hours ago (currently using fixed computer) and it is running just fine. I'm STILL holding my breath and hoping it doesn't go out again. If it does I will come back to the forum and let everyone know.
Hopefully I won't be back again in 2 years to purchase a new part. Lucky it wasn't something worse like the motherboard... having a computer that only lasts 2 years?
Anyways. Thought you should know random person reading this. Best of luck.
