Satellite A660 turns off unexpected​ly during heightened performanc​e situations

Hi,
I currently own a Toshiba Satellite A660, recently it has been shutting off unexpectedly when I play games.  I've always played these games before which is why it concerns me.  After it shuts down if I try to turn it on immediately the fan goes at full blast and it will turn off again and I must wait a few minutes for it to cool.  It seems like my computer is working too hard to cool the processor or whatever.
I cleaned up my disk space and am at 0% fragmentation so thats as far as my knowledge goes.
Thank you

  • HT4623 How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry

    I recently bought Iphone 4s. I like the phone as such but one thing that I want to change is tap display while entering the passcode on lock screen. I don't want to see which keys I am entering as this can put my phone on risk as anyone close to me can see what keys I had pressed to unlock the phone.
    Please help to let me know "How to turn-off tap display during passcode entry" on locked screen.
    Thanks for the answers and suggestion.

    This cannot be done.  You should simply hide the display from others' view.
    iPhone 5S allows you to use your fingerprint instead of the passcode.

  • My IMac  version 10.6.8 with Intel core duo beeps and turns off unexpectedly in both Mac and Windows mode. How do I fix this?

    My IMac turns off unexpectedly in both Mac & Windows mode.  I've repaired disc and permissions using the Snow Leopard install disk and cleared the cache without help.  Any ideas how to prevent this?

    The HAT test detected no problems.  Perhaps one of the peripherals, e.g., the backup disk, is causing the problem.  I'll try to run the MAC without peripherals for a few days and see what happens, unless you have other suggestions.
    Thanks

  • How can I turn OFF audio monitoring during capture from tape?

    FCP has a very useful check box that allows you to turn off audio monitoring during capture, so you can listen to other things whilst the batch captures.  Is there any way to do this in PP?  If not, how can I make a feature request?
    I'm using PP CS6.
    Thanks for any help.
    Dominic

    The only other solution I can offer is to go to "edit" "preferences" then select "playback". Under playback set the default audio device to your capturing device instead of the adobe desktop audio. This will allow you capture but not have to listen to whats being captured. However once it's done capturing you'll have to set it back to adobe desktop audio otherwise you can't hear what you're editing in your timeline.
    Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry.

  • Airport Express turns off unexpectedly

    Hy, I have a problem from a week with my airport espress.
    It turns off unexpectedly, when I connect it to the electrical outlet,
    it works for a few minutes (good wireless signal). After few minutes
    It turns off, like no power. If I muve the cable, it starts to work, but after few mitutes
    it turns off.
    I think thet the problem is related to the power supply (I tried to change several outlets).
    suggestions?
    Thanks

  • HT4859 I turned off my iPad during the process of restoring it, will this mess up the iPad or my apps?

    I turned off my iPad during the process of restoring it, will this mess up the iPad or my apps?

    If you turned it off in the process of doing a full restore, yes.  If you turned it off in the process of restoring it from an iCloud backup, it depends.  You may be able to turn it on and resume the restore; otherwise you'll have to restore from the backup again.

  • Device turns off unexpectedly and does not respond

    Just got my iPhone yesterday and originally it took over an hour to turn on. I was able to get it on at one point and go through the activation and syncing process. The phone turned off unexpectedly once the next morning and took over an hour to turn back on, only after plugging it into the computer and then unplugging it. Restoring it was not possible. It turned off again and I was able to boot it up withing an hour. Then now it turned off again and I haven't been able to turn it back on for over 5 hours. Help!

  • My Satellite A300 turns off spontaneously

    Hello,
    Somtimes my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300) sunddenly spontaneously turned off. Very often it happend during system startup. Everything it happend when my laptop work only on power supply. When my laptop work only on battery (without power supply) everything is ok.
    1) Does it mean that i should change the power supply?
    2) I use surge protector but my power socket is without graunded. Is it possible that power socket without graunded broke the power supply?
    3) Should i use power socket only with graunded?
    I live in Poland if there is any help.
    I will be gratefull for answers.

    Hi Reda,
    from my point of few it’s difficult to say what could cause this annoying issue.
    But I think you should check the notebook functionality using another good working AC adaptor.
    It’s not impossible that a faulty AC adaptor would cause the problems.
    At the other hand the issue might be caused due to power supply electronic issues.
    Power supply electronic is part of the motherboard and such issue would be the worst case.
    Additionally you can check whether different power plant would be selected after connecting the AC adaptor. In such case switch it to the power plan which is selected using the battery power.

  • Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

    When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
    I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
    I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
    Thanks,

    It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage.  May lead to dropped frames.  I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs.  Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
    It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible.  And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture.  Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you.  Check it out.
    I don't think Harm was being condesending at all.  He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe.  It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
    Good luck

  • VM Roles restarted and turn off unexpectedly

    for the pass two weeks I get unexpected and random turn off, migration and shutdown of  vm roles on a 3 nodes Windows 2012 failover cluster on Dell hardware and EMC data storage.  I find an error in the logs but cannot find what is causing
    this and why.
    Event 1146, FailoverClustering
    The cluster Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) stopped unexpectedly. An attempt will be made to restart it. This is usually associated with recovery of a crashed or deadlocked resource.  Please determine which resource and resource DLL is causing the
    issue and verify it is functioning properly.

    I have just encountered a problem with my vm-605 whilst toying around with it. The thing froze up and all the lights come on.
    If you look at the back of the device just to the left above the label is a hole. Gently poke with a paperclip until you here a faint click. 
    This has fixed my problem!!

  • Satellite P875 turns off immediatel​y and loop after bios update /vrsion 6.30

    Hi
    My satellite P875 turns on and immediately turns off since I did an update of the bios (v 6.30).
    When the battery is connected and power wire too, it turns on then turns off in a loop.
    With the battery, and power wire unplugged, the loop stop and the laptop just turns off.
    Nothing on the screen because it turns off immediately.
    If someone has any Ideas...
    THis laptop is new( a few weeks) and runs windows 7
    Thank you in advance

    UPDATE:
    I tried this: Fn+F+ start, it last a few second more, with the sound of the fan, and then turns off again.

    Short story, you bricked your box, and whatever time you spend trying to find someone in the world to tell you different and all the time you spend here answering follow up questions will be odyssey land wasted getting right back to the start of this sentence.
    Either this forum or others will ask you for model number details and suggest "flash fixers" that might or not repair your bricked system and always at the expense of your warranty.
    The sooner you call tech support and convince them it wasn't your fault the faster you'll get your new toshiba replaced with a refurb. Backup up your important hard drive data cause you're not guranteed to get the same drive back either.

  • Webcan turns off and on during Skype video call

    Hello everyone, 
    I have noticed and issue with my new MAcbook pro.
    My webcam was turning off and on several times during a 15 video call. 
    It was not really disturbing from the viewer side, but I saw that the green light of my webcam was turning off and off spontaneously. 
    please note: I use the latest Skype and its a new computer.
    Any idea what could be the reason?
    Thanks in advance!

    Am I to understand 15 participants in a multi part video chat?  sounds like a bandwidth issue.

    Well mine does exactly the same thing when I'm talking with one person so hardly a bandwidth problem - never happened before.  Running Windows 7 and Skype 7.
    However, the light on the webcam stays on - it's just not being picked up by Skype.
