SATELLITE P205D-S880​4 ; FREEZING AND SHUTTING DOWN ON ITS OWN CONSTANTLY

This  has been a wonderful piece of technology for the first 2  1/2  years. Around this time last year it started to freeze and shut off ( a couple of times a day).  So I went out and got a cooling pad . That stopped it from shutting off but it continued to freeze up. Also, tried re-installing the software. Now it is to the point that I didn't think I could get this message out before it happens again .  H E L P   ME   PLEASE   .........

That's good, because we can make experiments. What happens after you boot this way?

  • MacBook Pro won't boot and shut down on its own.

    Hi, I am running a Macbook Pro. My problem is that the OS froze during use, and I could not move the cursor. As which point I force shut down by holding the powerswitch. From that point onwards I could not get the machine to boot, it keep getting stuck at the grey screen with Apple icon. After loading at the grey screen for 15-20 mins it shuts down on its own.
    I've tried to reset SMC (shift-control-option + power button) and PRAM (Command-Option-P-R) but it dint work. Please help. Thanks.

    It appears your problem occured after you upgraded to 10.8.2, but if you did it right after the SSD and RAM switch then it's hard to tell exactly what is causing the issue.
    I advise returning back to factory, hold command option r boot and wipe everything and reinstall 10.8
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the problem continues, then make a warranty/AppleCare call, hopefully you didn't strip the screw heads or leave any other tell tale damage inside.
    If your fine on 10.8.2 for some time, then switch the RAM and do a hardware test extended or Rember or Memtest to make sure the new RAM is not the issue.
    If that's fine then Carbon Copy Cloner to the external SSD and hold option key down to boot from it and test that.
    Then do the internal SSD switch and test that.
    Take your time, Mac's are so finicky and you can't just slap this or that and expect it all to immediatly work like it should.

  • Z30 freezing and shutting down

    I am on my 2 nd z30 in 2 weeks and they have both had a problem with freezing and shutting down, sometimes in mid use and sometimes on its own, can anyone?

    Hello soggy001
    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com
    Make restarted the z30?
    If your problem evidences the persistence
    Apply a hard reset keep the power button for 30 seconds.
    Regards.
    I recommend you make a reload of the BlackBerry OS Link
    Connect your z30 and run BBLink
    Then go to preference and press the reload option software
    Let the process do all your work, and then you start setting your BB
    And load your backup.
    And let us know if your problem evidences the persistence.
    You must have the latest version of the BlackBerry Link installed.
    Regards.

  • IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation

    My IMAC is  freezing and shutting down without explanation . Any thoughts or suggestions?  Could this mean the motherboard is about to die? I have considered erasing the hard drive and reloading, but I'm unsure if that will help i.e. if I back up my IMAC using time machine, then I am just relaoding the problem when I use time machine to reaload........ Thanks!!!

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works

    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
    Hope this assists.

  • Microphoto Freezes and Shuts Down During File trans

    I just bought my Creative Zen Microphoto a week ago and was pumped when I got. It worked fine for a couple of days, I didn't have a problem transfering the music through windows media player 0. everything worked fine and i was really happy with it. however, after i uninstalled it and upgraded to wmp version the microphoto FREEZES and SHUTS DOWN during file transfers. I went to the recovery menu and reformatted it and cleaned it up. I tried it again and the same thing happened. It transfered about 25 songs and just froze adn does nothing. I have tried anything and everything . PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Thanks, Jon

    Jason, thanks for trying your help but I'm thinking now it has something to do with the hard dri've failing. But that doesnt make since becase the player still turns on fine and it still works, like i can still use the radio etc. i just can' transfer music. i installed the windows media pack thing and that didn't work. i just don't know what to do anymore. should i install the creative software that i got with my player or would that not matter? i deleted it i just think that it would not matter. it didn't seem to work when i had it installed i stil had the same problems. i just don't know what to do right now jason i am running out of ideas?

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?

    Hello mb_bernhardt,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer is giving you a Printer Failure message and then the printer shuts down.  
    I’ve included the A 'Printer Failure' Message That Might Include an '0x610000f6' or '0x61xxxxxx' Error Code Displays o... document.  If the error message that you’ve received includes an Error code there is one set of instructions to follow, and if there is no Error code  there is another set of instructions to follow.

  • Mac Pro shut down on its own, then on boot up it beeped steadily for 2 min?

    I put my 2009 Mac Pro to sleep then the next day I find it completely shut down! I boot it up and then I hear a steady beep (every second) for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes the beeping went away.
    Any idea what caused Mac Pro to shut down on its own? And what does the steady beeping mean? The beeping is coming from inside the Mac Pro's speakers, not from my BOSE 5 computer speakers.
    I don't think there was a power outage as the UPS is fully charged, and I asked a neighbor across the street.

    I wasn't clear in my description, it's a steady continuous beep, it's a rhythmic beep -- it'll do this for 200 beeps or about 2-4 minutes.
