Satellite A305-6825 frequently rebooting itself

My laptop reboots itself frequently. This happened while I was running the original Windows Vista that was shipped with the macine, and continues to happen now that I have upgraded to Windows 7. Recently, the laptop also started to get hang-up (freeze-up) at times. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Thank you Peter.
Before getting your suggestion for a clean-up start, I disconnected the power supply after charging the battery to full capacity and have used the laptop without a glitch this way for two days (on battery power ony). Any ideas as to what could be causing the reboots before, when the power supply was connected?
Thank you in advance,
Ed

Aironet access-point 1231G reboots itself frequently...

Hi there,
We have one 1231G access-point which reboots itself after every certain time, its uptime has never crossed some 30 - 35 mins, usually it remains to 10 -15 mins. Some days ago, I saw a similar problem being discussed on thsi plateform but after the NetPro being changed, I could not find the progress on that thread. The guys in that thread suggested to physically separate the wireless controllers and then re-attach it back. Instead of doing this I tried physical reboot/power-cycle of thsi access-point. That access-point behaved normally for some days but after some that it aain posed the same problem. Kindly help me with probable solutions to it.
Thanks and regards,

This looks good to me, although let me know your thoughts on it.
One thing I have observed that the it showed a high CPU spike when it reboots and stops responding on the network. sho proc cpu his command, just after the reboot shows a spike of between 85 to 100% CPU utilisation. Any thoughts!

IPhone 5 reboots itself frequently

Hi,
I have a iPhone5 from Singapore retailer, 16G black. I upgraded to 6.0.2 right after I got it. The device would self-reboot every 20 mins to 1 hour when I am using it. At night when I am charging it, it also occassionally reboots itself. Also the battery life is short, averaging 6-7 hours from full to < 20%. I tried to reset, restore, took to the Shanghai Apple Store, but they couldn't figure it out. Anyone has any ideas?

Hi Jnsumanth,
If your iPhone continues to restart itself unexpectedly, you may want to follow the steps in this article to troubleshoot -

IPhone 3Gs rebooting itself now stuck on boot

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 3Gs since February 2010 making it as of this post 1 year old and 3 months over warrantee. Last week my iPhone started randomly turning off and on again and it was happening a few times each day. It began to reboot itself more frequently, to the point where I couldn't use the phone because it would turn off mid text-message and during phone calls. I grew frustrated and decided to put it into recovery mode to restore the phone, as people on these discussion threads recommended with no luck, it was giving me an error code 29 right when it got to the part to upgrade the firmware (I believe it didn't make it to this point because the phone would turn off). I tried this several times when finally it worked! I restored my iPhone and loaded the backup I had made and charged the phone up and went about my day. As the battery drained it turned on and off more frequently and then went from 30% to 3%. It now will not charge whatsoever on the charger, or through my MacBookPro. It will not boot up at all, but flashes the apple logo then turns black and it keeps doing this over and over. Itunes won't even recognize the iPhone as being connected to my computer.
I don't know what to do. I have never jailbroken this iPhone or tampered with it in any way, and I'm very disappointed that this product is showing such huge issues after only a year of use. Right now my iPhone is completely unusable and I'm hoping that somebody has an answer for me to fix this.

On My iPhone 3GS started with iOS 4.3 and 5.0 did not improve even with the 5.0.1. When started, the device shut down at around 43% battery. Every 2 or 3 weeks the problem got worse ... 53%, 65%, 75%, 86%, 96%, 98% and 100% now it can be turned off.
I realized that if I use the internet through the 3G off at around 98%. If you use the internet through wi-fi, off at around 86%. If you use 3D games off even faster. The first shutdown can be restored by resetting the system (home + power). But after the second or third, it asks to connect to an electrical outlet, the battery even when it was full. If you make a small charge, enough to start the system will turn off at the next mark (percentages cited above). I started using the iPhone always connected to an electrical outlet (house or car).
Recently I made a painful test: I turned off the 3G, wifi and data transmission; stopped to use all the features of the iPhone, except for calls and SMS. The GPS was on, but I did not use any application that needed it. As a result, the battery lasted about 4 days and declined up to 6% (when it fell during a call). I was very glad to review the battery alerts (20% and 10%) after so many months. Then I waited 1 or 2 hours and recharged the phone to 100%. I noticed that charging was much slower than what was occurring before (and remains so since then). But until now I did not notice a difference in the problem.
Other users with the same problem say revert to factory settings did not fix the problem. There are no Apple Stores in my country, only representatives and mobile phone carriers, but the assurance of my iPhone expired in May 2011, in addition, here we have the iPhone 4S world's most expensive (between US$ 1419 and US $ 1,855), the which means buying another iPhone is a last option. Buy another battery would be easier, but I question: if the problem is the battery, why work properly when does not was required 3G, Internet, games or gps?
It would be nice if Apple responded something like "we are aware of the problem and are working on it." At least we could hope to keep until the next update.

IPad 4 (wifi+cellular) reboots itself randomly in apps.

Hi guys, I recently bought an iPad 4 and I've noticed the iPad 4 tends to reboot itself when I'm in applications, especially in high demanding memory apps like games or safari and even the apple store!
I bought it from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from an authorised apple store (premium seller) 2 days ago, but now I'm in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. And from what I've researched, Malaysia doesn't have applestores with genius bars like Australia does (where I'm from).
Today is the 3nd day since I've got it, was on IOS 6.0.1 when it kept rebooting so i upgraded it to IOS 6.1.3 (latest version) but the problem still persists, if anything, it's happening more frequently.
I've tried restoring it, soft rebooting it, nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions??
Luke

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

X1 box frequent reboots

my x1 box frequently needs rebooting sometimes it reboots itself other times I have to reboot it because the screen freezes usually about once a day what gives?

Freezing and or rebooting is a classic sign of poor incoming signal. There is a small chance it is a bad box but 9 times out of 10 its bad signal.Triple check all of your connections. If that doesn't solve the problem you will need to get a tech out.

At first it didn't charge. But after doing a power reset, it charged up. And then I did a charge/discharge cycle. The problem is that right after I did my first discharge to break it in, the battery was not detected again. So I ran through everything. Power cycles. Uninstalled ACPI battery driver and reinstallled it to no avail Updated my bios to 1.80, since there's not 3.0 version for my lappy model. My old battery still charges though my laptop still tells me it needs to be replaced.
So...
Is there anything more I can do? Should I just return it and get a new replacement battery or is there still anything else that can be done? Was it just not compatible with my laptop even though it said it was? Any help would be great! Thanks!

You may want to look at the fixes in this article:
Battery not charging, not being recognized, or losing charge
If it still doesn't work, there may be a problem with the battery or a hardware problem in the laptop itself.

K9A2 Neo keeps rebooting itself

I just had my motherboard and graphics card replaced but the new system keeps rebooting itself. It can happen even if if the computer is just idling and I'm not doing anything with it but it happens a lot more frequently if I play certain games. Windows was not reinstalled after replacing these two cards. I don't know if it's of any significance but when I boot the machine the board beeps 5 or 6 times, instead of the 1 time I'm used to. More often than not the unwanted reboot fails and ends in a blank screen but initial booting of the machine always succeeds.
I'm fairly green in these matters and would be really grateful if someone could point me in the right direction on this one.

Test each one memory stick alone with >>Memtest86<< , use the 1st DIMM slot close to CPU socket.
For details you can take a look here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103598.msg760534#msg760534
What PSU you use? {List brand and details {amperes per each line}, look for them over PSU sticker. Example in my signature}
Also check CPU for overheating.

My iPod wont turn on anymore. I have had my iPod since the end of January of 2012, Last night it shut off on me. It keeps trying to reboot itself, but all it does it show the apple symbol, then the screen goes white and reboots again. I need help. :(

Hi, My name is Cassie.
I bought my iPod off of amazon just around the end of January of this year (2012). Last night I was playing around on my iPod. Listening to pandora, and editing pictures. I got to a picture and clicked edit, and then my iPod shut off. It rebooted itself and seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. I put my music back on and went back to the picture and tried to edit it again. I clicked the edit button and the ipod shut off again. This time, it kept rebooting. It went to the apple symbol to turn on and about thirty seconds, the time it normally takes to turn on, the whole screen went white and then shut off and tried rebooting again. It kept doing this over and over again. After a while, it did eventually stop, but only to a completely white screen. It was like that all night long because I fell asleep. (gave up on it). It is now the afternoon and after I held the lock button and the home button down the screen when off. I let it sit for about a half an hour, then I tried turning it on again. But it still is doing the same thing. I have no idea what I could have done to make it do this. Unfortunalty, I am not home to connect it to my own iTunes, but regaurdless, it wont even connect to the computer. I did have my ipod plugged in the whole time it was rebooting and shutting off last night. It was connected to my wall jack which normally works fine. But even having it plugged into the computer as it is now, its still doing the same thing. I am dissapointed that I might end up loosing everything that I have on it. I have not been able to sync it to my computer to save all the apps and pictures and music I have stored on it. I really do hope I can get some help or advice!
Thank You!!

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

After upgrading to ICS my Xperia mini (ST15i) hangs and reboot itself?

Ah I was very happy after getting official ROM of ICS but my happiness goes down very soon because now I'm facing many problems with my phone.
It is hanging most of the time at least once or twicw in a day, sometime hangs and reboot itself but sometime I have to estart it by remove the battery. When it hangs if my battery is at 90% and I remove the battery and put it back and restart it then it goes down to near about 70% or less.
Phone dial pad is very slow to open than 3rd party softwares. Back and Option key response very slow. I know this could be performance issue but this is too much.
However many apps goes to hang, mostley my browsers I wa using Boat and Dolphin HD browser and after upgrading I tries Chrome which also hangs. My phones battery drain so fast now also my phone heat too.
I tried to contact the support thorugh E-mail but still yet no reply so I'm here to ask this please help me guys. I have very slow bandwidth so please suggest me the good way to solve this problem. I don't want to downgrade but if its neccessary then I'll.

regarding the phone/dialer download Dialer One
regarding your battery life, you should check which apps are causing this
charge your phone 100% use it as you normally would then once it reaches 10%
settings > battery > take screenshots of this list an the graph, also tap on each item and take screenshots post them here
delete taskillers, antivirus, battery apps, ram apps as they slow down your phone, drain your battery and cause a lot of issues.

Satellite A305-S6825 - HDD light flickers sometimes

I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, which I bought back in April. 250GB and 3GB Ram.
I notiice sometimes when I am not working on it that the Hard Disk drive light is flickering for some quite some time. Is this normal?
I don't have any programs checked (I think) to do any automatic updating and/or scanning, etc.
Are there programs running in the Vista Premium without me using the actually working on the notebook?
I hope the notebook is not broken.
Alice

The notebook is definitely not broken. The same happen with my two Toshiba laptops.
In the background many processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HDD.
Maybe some updates are installed at this moment. It can be anything.
Anyway, don't worry. Everything is OK.

Re: Hard drive failing on my 1 year old Satellite A305-S6905

My hard drive is failing on my laptop [a Satellite A305-S6905] it was a year old Feb 11'th so no warranty, now i have to pay someone to put in a new HD, pay for the HD and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore, a good I had already bought a Windows 7 disk, but wait, ...I can't use that, it's an upgrade, so now what am I gonna do?

>and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore
I think there was an option to create own recovery disk!
I think all info was placed in the user manual as I saw this also in user manual of the Toshiba European notebooks
The HDD can die due to different reasons in most cases its a matter of the time when a HDD would dieits a expendable part my HDD died after 5 year of usage in your case its just an bad luck
PS: in my country the TV, notebooks, computers, etc are covered by warranty for 2 years. Maybe you should ask your dealer for help
Otherwise the HDD replacement is not difficult the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you can remove the HDD easily
Bye

MacPro 2,1 apparently rebooting itself in the night?

Hey everyone,
I have a Mac Pro 2,1 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and almost daily, when I wake it up from sleep it acts like it has rebooted itself at some point during the night (login items showing). I do have it set to wake on LAN, and going back through the console event logs, it appears like it's waking itself up hourly to announce itself on the network, as it should be. But I'm also seeing indications that some of those wakes are triggering reboots, and I have no clue why.
I did recently upgrade the system with all new drives (240GB Samsung 840 SSD for OS, 2x3TB Toshiba HDDs in RAID1 for my User folder, 4TB Hitachi for Time Machine) and a Newer 2-port eSATA card (in slot 4), but the machine was exhibiting this behavior before the upgrades. I reinstalled everything from scratch at the time of the drive upgrades, so I doubt it's anything to do with the new hardware... I hoped that the clean install of everything would fix whatever was going on, but obviously it didn't.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the phantom reboots?
Thanks folks,
Jeff

using an older too small UPS and have issues, of course it could be showing its age (or not) but always worth looking at.
Rosetta and upgrades - of course a day will come when Mac Pro might not support pre-Lion, right now we can dual boot 10.6.8 and Lion/ML if desired.
Not having any device connected except kb/mouse, nothing on that Newer card incl. the Voyager would reduce that as contributor.
Rosetta has to act to translate and be its own super process VM, getting rid of it was a blessing. I would "consider" a dual boot setup and have Lion... just for testing your system... unless this more academic curiosity and worry.
FBDIMMs are always worth making sure that they are not just working, but working as cool as possible, closer to 60*C and how old or what mix of size and brands are in there.
My system iwth dozen plus programs and using half the 16GB is like silk the way it handles and responds now. Never better and I attribute that to both Lion and of course SSD Samsung. I use to use an older SSD (Dec 2010) and I could not tell the difference between it and a 150GB 10K VR. Now it is night and day on the Samsung 840... Yours should be doing the same.

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.
