Satellite P10-804, machine shutted down suddenly

hi all!
i bought my laptop 2 years ago and recently found that the laptop shut down suddenly without any notice.. not bcos of the virus as there's no symtom about that.
I'm not sure if the laptop is too hot or what reason caused the machine shut down. and as I'm now not living in UK and in my country, this model had not be launched so i cannot check the machine in my country.
if anyone had this problem or if anyone know the reason, please let me know! thanks!

  • Satellite P10 - start up/shut down are not working

    I hope someone can help me. My Satellite P10 is having problems starting and shutting down.
    When it starts up, it goes to a black screen with white wording, asking if I want to start windows normally, or in safe mode etc - it won't let me start it normally so I choose the option 'last good start up files' (or similar wording).
    The pc then carries on starting up. I did a system restore but it's made no difference. Once it's started up, it's a lottery whether it's going to be ok, or whether it's in the process of crashing.
    To shut down, I've got to push the off button, there's no other way it will shut down.
    I've run avg, spybot, lavasoft adaware, xsoftspy, registry mechanic, spywareblaster etc but there doesn't seem to be anything 'wrong'.
    The only thing I've installed recently is the new avg 7.5 and legacy family tree software - I downloaded both programmes from the manufacturers sites. Avg is free, although I might just have visited a crack site for the code for legacy :)
    I would really appreciate it if anyone is kind enough to give me some advice :)

    Hi Joao
    I have had a bit of luck so far - I downloaded a little executable which checks for trojans - I had been infected by ntrootkit. I managed to get rid of it (switch off system restore, run security software, edit registry & reboot) which has in turn sorted out the start up and shut down problems.
    However, I'm still getting problems - when I start up, it's in the lap of the Gods whether I need to reboot before I can open my broadband software.
    Also, when it's playing up like that, I get a 'beep' when I try to stop processes through task manager. I've got a horrible feeling that it's the motherboard. Once I've rebooted, it's fine again.
    This is driving me nuts... if anyone has any ideas on this latest development, I'd be grateful!!

  • Satellite P10-B02 PSP16E Shutting down

    Hi there,
    I have had the above laptop for about 3 years now and it has started to shut itself down quite often now.
    Its not over heating.
    I have tried to update the Bios online but I keep getting an error message about ROM size when I try and run the setup.exe file.
    This is from the event log seconds before shutdown.
    The same error is logged several times prior to shutdown.
    Any ideas,
    Kind regards,
    David.
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: ACPIEC
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1
    Date: 03/08/2008
    Time: 16:01:28
    User: N/A
    Computer: HERBIE
    Description:
    \Device\ACPIEC: The embedded controller (EC) hardware didn't respond within the timeout period. This may indicate an error in the EC hardware or firmware, or possibly a poorly designed BIOS which accesses the EC in an unsafe manner. The EC driver will retry the failed transaction if possible.

    Hello there.
    Let me ask you, but why do you think this is not an overheating issue? Already checked for any dust on the cooling vents?
    Anyway, for your BIOS update problem, there is a simple solution.
    After you have downloaded the BIOS update package, you will have to unpack this file first. If not, you will get the mentioned error message. So just unzip it, and start it again. This way you should be able to perform a BIOS update successfully.

  • Satellite P20-S203 shuts down suddenly

    Hi,
    In the last month my Satellite P20-S203 is not behaving so well, and unfortunately it seems the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why Im writing here)
    The computer just shuts down suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); all the times it did happen I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that, and I'm also 99% sure it's not a virus, malware or anything like that, cause I formatted about 3 months ago, and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is not slow or anything like that.
    The last two options are that the issue may be of hardware nature, or of a software one (like a conflict between installed programs and the OS); I'm more for the first one, but I'm not sure and I need help to find out... What should I do?
    Also, when it suddenly shuts down, it won't turn on with the first try.
    It needs like 10 or 20 times to open, like an old car that doesn't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it will only display the toshiba logo.
    Then it passes through a screen I cannot read because it's too fast.
    Then to a black screen and finally it turns off again.
    With the next tries it goes a little bit more far, like it displays the windows logo, but, as that picture fades in, it stops at half of the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, like it's too hard for it to load the OS!!
    But then it goes off again!
    Then after some other tries it finally loads windows.
    Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you!
    OS: Windows XP SP2

    No it's ok Jayjay, I purchased this morning the right screwdriver (here in Greece these type of screws are called "French" or most internationally "torx" screws).
    So I took away the cover above the fans, unscrewed the heat sink, removed the heat sink and together with that the cpu came up. I've now removed the old thermal grease and I'm ready to put the new one.
    I like to mess around with things, I like to assemble and disassemble, I like to know how things work...but I also know, thanks to my personal experience, that there's no way not to make any damage when you mess around :) but that's ok with me, I' m used to it, as soon the pc will open once finished :D
    Anyway, I have to admit that if I worked with a little more method now everything would be ok, like making a map of the screws, knowing where to put them back, because now two screws on the back won't mount any more (precisely the F6 screws on the back panel, where the usb, vga and parallel connectors are), and two more screws are in excess (!) If someone has the time to do it, please unscrew just these two screws (the F6 on the back) and post a photo of the screws, or just tell me the height, even if I'm sure that the problem is elsewhere.
    Goodbye

  • Satellite A110 shut down suddenly - CPU fan is not working

    Hello!
    The CPU fan on my brand new A110 is not working. The notebook will shut down suddenly, without hibernation or standby for any CPU consuming activity.
    Can it be linked to a configuration/ software problem? If so, how to check it?
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    For me it seems like a hardware malfunction. If the fan does not work as it should then it has nothing to do with the software.
    The A110 seems to be a very new unit and I dont think the dust and debris are responsible for such automatically shut downs.
    Why you dont take your warranty??? If the warranty is valid everything should be checked and replaced for free

  • My mac shuts down suddenly on its own

    Please help
    Since installing 10.4.8 my mac has been shutting itself off on its own.
    While I would normally applaud such energy saving activity, it isn't
    appreciated when I'm in the middle of doing something.
    Pretty much that is the story: mac shutting down suddenly while I'm busily typing something. One moment working, next machine has turned itself off.
    None of the logs show anything interestingly amiss, but I could be wrong.
    Anyone else experiencing this sort of thing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carol Hatcher

    My Appologies. I mistakenly thought that since I filled out the
    fields below the message box with the model, os and other details that
    they would be visiable to all. What a fool i was.
    I have a iMac G5 running Mac OSX 10.4.8 right now.
    Other details:
    Processor: power pc
    Memory : 2G
    I have owned it since May of 2005.
    The shutdown now occurs while logging in. It took me three tries
    tonight to get up and running.
    Also, when logging in, i have to wait over a minute for the keyboard to be recognized - no response in the password
    field.
    Best wishes to all and thank you all in advance,

  • IMac shut down suddenly and won't boot back up

    This morning my iMac shut down suddenly.  All I had open was Google Chrome and I was just on Facebook and that's it.  When I tried to boot it back up, it wouldn't load past the startup sound, wherein it would appear to shut back down,or at the very least the screen would go black (my mouse has lights that stay on when the computer is on, and the light kept going on and off while the screen remained black).  This was the case for at least a half hour until it suddenly booted itself back up all on its own.  I had it on throughout the day, just browsing the internet and watching Youtube. It shut itself down twice during the day, and both times it restarted on its own right away after showing me a grey screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar.  Now it just shut itself down again and it won't make it past the progress bar screen - if it even makes it that far, sometimes it shuts off right after it makes the startup sound.  It keeps trying to boot up on its own over and over again, but it keeps shutting down right away.  All the fixes I've searched for so far require a computer that actually boots up all the way so I don't think I could run any reports if I tried!
    I'm running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2?). 
    Model number A1311
    Not entirely sure what specs are useful to know so I'm just gonna write some of what's on the box it came in:
    3.2 GHz Intel i3 processor, 4MBshared level 3 cache
    4GB of 1333MHz DDR SDRAM
    1TB serial ATA hard drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics processor with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory
    Bought it around fall of 2010.  Not sure if it's worth trying to get it fixed (I live nowhere near an Apple store) or if I should just get a new computer, but I would like to know what's wrong, if possible.

    Try to boot into the Recover Partition by holding down the Command + R keys on startup. If it still won't boot then the HD has probably crashed. The is likely a AASP in your area, you can locate one by clicking AASP Locator, take it to one to be professional diagnosed. If it's only the HD, assuming you have been backing up, restoring to a new HD is pretty simple.

  • My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

    My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
    I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
    When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
    I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
    The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
    My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I was working on a word document  and the computer shut down suddenly.

    I was working on a word document  and the computer shut down suddenly. I got a grey screen with a message that your computer shut down because of a proble. It was written in various languages. It asked me to press any key to restart. I tried to restart it but the wheel just kept going on and on. So I shut it down and I tried to restart it. But I still keepgetting the wheel under the apple symbol and nothing else.

  • Java virtual machine shuts down

    When a Java virtual machine shuts down abruptly (e.g. user type ^C or user logoff), does the Java virtual machine execute the finalize() method of all the objects in the heap?
    If not, could you please tell me where should I put the cleanup code of my application so that they will get execute even when the Java virtual machine shuts down abruptly?
    Thank you.

    ...execute the finalize() method of all the objects in the heap? It shouldn't matter, because you shouldn't be doing anything in a finalizer anyways. Any resource that is not memory should be explicitly cleaned up (not using a finalizer.) And if it is just memory then it doesn't matter if it is cleaned or not - it all gets returned to the OS.
    There is ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEE that a finalizer will even be called. The only thing the specification says is that if it is called that it will only be called once.
    And if you don't believe me then feel free to search the forums for the other numerous threads and respondants that say the same thing. And the bug lists that demonstrate how finalizers are not called on normal exits.
    So once you rework your design/code to stop relying on those pesky finalizers, if you still have some clean up that needs to occur on a clean application exit then you can use Runtime.addShutDownHook().

  • My lenovo G505s shuts down suddenly and key board stops working at times

    Hi,
    I have bought this laptop 10 days ago, I am facing two problems 1st is, it shuts down(suddenly off not proper shut down) while working without showing any error message, and the problem no 2 is its key board stops working at times, system is working fine but all the buttons of key board are not responding. it will work when I restart the system.
    please help what should I do, could it be replaced?

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
    Sorry to hear of your problems.  I would suggest that you try a reset of the BIOS just to rule out any hardware conflicts the system may have.  Try this........
    1. Unplug the charger / adapter.
    2. Remove the battery.
    3. Press and hold the Power Button for 15 seconds.
    4. Re-install the battery, plug in the charger / adapter if needed and power up the system to see if the problem was resolved.
    If the problems weren't resolved by doing the reset then I suggest you contact Lenovo Support for warranty service.  Both the problems you mentioned could be related to faulty hardware and the service center would be best equipped to check out your new laptop.  You can find the phone number for Lenovo Support in your country or area by using the link below....

    My imac is  2008 model  OS X (10.5.8) .  It shuts down suddenly often by itself.  And sometimes not able to restart.   Any idea how to fix?

    I know exactly what you are going through. I am almost 100% sure it  has to be due to these other failures involving temperature. Mine is in this group. Here is a further discussion:

  • Essbase Server Shutting down suddenly

    HI,
    Our Essbase Server shutting down suddenly once or twice in a month. Previously we have the same problem, Hyperion recommended for Server upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 version. But the problem still exits. What could be the reason? If you have any idea why the essbase server shutting down suddenly? What are all the possible reasons and what needs to be done to solve this problem.
    Essbase Version 9.3.1
    Oracle DB to load data.

    Previously we submitted the same issue to Hyperion team.. they suggested for server upgrade... after upgradation also same problem occuring.....
    Nothing is happening when server is down.. we r unable to do anything like data load, calc scriprts running.....
    Server is in volatile state like.. up for 2 min and down and starting up.... because of this application access is too slow... users are feeling like server is completely down......
    If we r trying to access through excel... it is hanging... after 10 min application info coming.... we checked the server statistics.... they r changing after long time.... ( we r checking the server status through top command in UNIX... here status is not changing as frequency as when the server is working fine)....

  • Why is my mac shuts down suddenly

    My mac shuts down suddenly, i have to press any botton in oder to turn on, and if I stop messing with the mac it will shutdown. Any advice??

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
