Satellite A110-160 turns off by itself when im making a dvd to divx conversion

My Toshiba A110-160 turns off by itself(abruptly) when im making a dvd to divx conversion(autogk for example).
This didnt happen before..
I am using an updated bios v1.7(the latest).
Do you think it is because of that?? I have also made a memory upgrade(2GB,667mhz) and I am using windows xp and ubuntu.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
I don´t have any clue why the machine shuts itself off and I cannot give you a quick solution but I can give you a thought how to make some accurate troubleshooting:
Remove the newly installed module and try it again. Then give some feedback if it worked. If not we have to discuss further on that issue, would appreciate some feedback from you.
bye

  • Iphone 5 turned off by itself when it is cold outside?

    When I was waiting for the city bus today I was going to take a picture with my iphone. Keep in mind it said I had 41% battery. When I was about to take the picture the screen went back it did the circle thing then shut off. I tried to turn it back on it showed the red battery thing with the red line & it wanted me to charge it. After a few minutes I tried again was the same thing. After 10 minutes did it one last time it turned on but then the battery magically turned to 31%. Why is it doing this?

    Weather does funky things to batteries. If the device gets too cold or too warm, it will auto shut down.

  • T420 turns off by itself in the presence of magnetic field

    Hi forum,
    I am currently experiencing a problem where my T420 would turn off by itself when it is being used in an environment with the presence of magnetic field (something like a aluminium smelter). It only happens when the monitor is tilted at an angle other than 80~90 degrees. Could this problem have something to do with the lid sensor? Does anyone know where about the type of lid sensor a T420 has and the about location of it? Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks for the reply guys!
    I have changed the settings (both the power settings and the windows settings) of the lid close events to "do nothing". It stops the laptop from going to sleep mode however doesnt stop the screen from turning itself off. I supposed it is designed to turn off the monitor anyway because designer probably thought there is no point to leave the screen on if the lid is closed. Anyway what we will try now is to connect an external monitor and see if it solves the problem. I will update my progress.

  • HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

    My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
    I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
    So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
    Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
    SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
    It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
    THANKS!!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device.  Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

    when i turn on my computer it stays on the grey screen and then turns off by itself. How can I fix that?

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Hold alt or option key at bootup, do asny boot choices show up?

  • My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

  • HT201263 dropped iphone4 in water and turned off by itself

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag of dry, uncooked rice (or a bag of silica gel pellets, if you have access to those) for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service, which voids any warranty).
    Good luck.

  • Airport turns off by itself and won't turn on back again!!!

    hey there, i am currently facing an issue with the airport as by it is turnning off by itself and i cant turn it back on .. i have to restart !!!
    sometimes when i turn on my mac like just now happened it is off and can;t be turned on.
    please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it
    thank you very much

    Hey, in case you haven't been able to find a solution to your original problem with airport turning off, i seem to have found the solution for my MacBook Pro. I called Apple Care and they had me to shut down my computer. Then, while holding down the four keys: command, option, R and P, push the power button to turn on the computer. Do not let up on the four keys until the start up chime has sounded twice. Then let up on the four keys and the OS will boot up as usual. They said what that does is reset your "sleep" parameters on your computer. This seemed to have solved my problem.
